Term
What do cardiac glands secrete?
Definition
mucus

Only mucus!
Term
3 regions of the carnivore stomach
Definition
cardiac
fundic
pyloric
Term
Where are parietal cells found in the stomach
Definition
fundic region & body of stomach - gastric pits
Term
Main cell types found in the fundic region (5)
Definition
Mucous cells
Parietal ccells
Chief cells
Enteroendocrine Cells
Mast Cells
Term
What do parietal cells secrete
Definition
HCl & intrinsic factor
Term
What do chief cells secrete
Definition
zymogens (aka pepsinogens)
Term
What is the importance of intrinsic factor?
Definition
required for absorption of B12 in ileum
Term
What two hormones inhibit parietal cell secretion?
Definition
somatostatin
secretin
Term
How can you inhibit acid secretion to promote healing of gastric ulcers
Definition
Parietal cells make acid by splitting hydrogen from H2O, and H+ is then transported into the lumen of the gland

-inhibiting synthesis or transport of H+ inhibits acid secretion into stomach

-carbonic annhydrase inhibitors prevent splitting of water, (carb ann catalyzes the splitting reaction)

OR

-proton pump inhibitors to prevent H+ from being exported into lumen, will promote carbonic annhydrase to carry out the reverse reaction and produce H2O
Term
What is required for zymogens (pepsinogens) to become active?
Definition
cleavage by HCl to produce active pepsin
Term
What is chymosin?
Definition
gastric enzyme of ruminants, cleaved from chymosinogen

-found in abomasum
-curdles milk, slowing its movement from stomach to intestine (in young animals)
Term
____ cells secrete histamine which stimulates parietal cells to secrete ____
Definition
mast cells

HCl
Term
True or False

G-cells secret gastrin into the stomach
Definition
false

secrete gastrin into the blood, in response to peptides/AAs/Ca in stomach
Term
What does gastrin do?
Definition
promotes HCl secretion
promotes histamine secretion
Term
How is HCl secretion promoted? (2 phases)
Definition
Cephalic phase
-PSNS promotes vagus to release AcH in anticipation of food
-ACh stimulates muscarinic receptors on parietal cells (secretes HCl) and g cells (secrete gastrin which promotes HCl secretion)

Gastric Phase
-chemoreceptors & stretch receptors promote ENS to release ACh
-more ACh stimulation of G cells & parietal cells
-further increase of HCl secretion
-food in stomach also raises pH which promotes more HCl secretion
Term
The main goal of the gastric phase is to...
Definition
increase HCl secretion
Term
What does histamine do in the stomach?
Definition
binds to H2 receptors on parietal cells to promote HCl release
Term
How is HCl secretion inhibited?
Definition
if pH of chyme drops too low, gastrin production is inhibited, parietal cell secretion of HCl reduced

-chyme in duodenum triggers somatostatin (inhibits HCl secretion)
-drop in pH in duodenum triggers secretin release, which promotes secretion of bicarbonate into SI
-chyme presence also triggers secretion of CCK into bloodstream, stimulating release of digestive enzymes into duodenum
Term
4 methods of treating ulcers in order of increasing importance
Definition
1. Antacids to temporarily increase pH
2. Surface protectants to coat ulcer
3. H2 receptor antagonists to prevent hist. from binding to parietal cells
4. Proton pump inhibitors to prevent H+ from being pumped into lumen of cells
