Term
What is the primary function of saliva in mammalian species?
Definition
facilitation of mastication and deglutination
Term
In the dog/cat, evaporative cooling is _______ effective to that of sweating
Definition
equally
Term
Additional function of saliva in ruminants
Definition
essential for microbial digestion
Term
What does the forestomach lack in ruminants?
Definition
secretory glands
Term
Because large quantities of acid are produced in the rumen from microbial fermentation, what helps neutralize this to preserve rumen pH?
Definition
HCO3 and PO4
Term
Salivary enzyme that only functions at neutral pH
Definition
starch-splitting salivary amylase
Term
1 ATP is required for every ___ NaCl secreted into lumen
Definition
6
Term
Cholenergic stimulation of glands is increased by aldosterone and results in
Definition
increased HCO3 intracellularly
Term
In nonruminant animals the duct system reabsorbs NaCl but H2O cannot follow, therefore saliva can become
Definition
hypertonic
Term
Ruminant saliva is always
Definition
isotonic
Term
There is no H20 or Na reabsorption in the ruminant unless under the influence of
Definition
aldosterone
Term
Name 6 important gastric secretions
Definition
H+, pepsinogen, mucus, HCO3, intrinsic factor, and H20
Term
HCl and pepsin participate in
Definition
digestion of proteins
Term
Mucus ________ ______ and together with HCO3 protects the mucosal lining against _____ ______ digestion.
Definition
lubricates solids; acid-pepsin
Term
Intrinsic facotr is required for normal absorption of
Definition
cobalamin (vit B12)
Term
Gastric mucosa produces
Definition
gastrin and secretin
Term
What kind of cells secrete gastrin and secretin?
Definition
endocrine cells on gastric mucosa
Term
Gastrin is secreted by ________ in antrum mucosa, where somatostatin is secreted by _______ in pyloric mucosa.
Definition
G cells; D cells
Term
Gastrin production by the G cell stimulates hormones to increase secretions of _______ & ________, which stimulates protein synthesis and tissue growth.
Definition
HCl; pepsinogen
Term
Somatostatin
Definition
inhibits release of gastrin and secretion of HCl (acts as paracrine substance)
Term
Proper gastric mucosa contains compound tubular glands that secrete
Definition
HCl and pepsinogen
Term
HCl is secreted by
Definition
parietal or oxyntic cells
Term
Pepsinogen is secreted by
Definition
chief cells
Term
Stratified squamous epithelium lining the forestomachs of ruminants has absorptive function for
Definition
NaCl and SCFA's
Term
Short chain fatty acids
Definition
chief source of ruminant energy
Term
Hydration of CO2 in cells is responsible for continual production of
Definition
H+ and HCO3 ions
Term
What is the power source for active transport of ions?
Definition
Na-K ATPase enzyme
Term
Passive transport is accomplished by
Definition
diffusion
Term
What ion enters the blood for every H+ ion secreted into the gastric lumen?
Definition
Potassium
Term
Why does histamine play a central role in acid secretion?
Definition
histamine acts directly on the parietal cell which secretes gastrin
Term
Why is the stomach more acidic during the interdigestive period?
Definition
food buffers neutralize the gastric acid in a full stomach, but the H+ content does not decrease when the stomach is emptied, therefore a more acidic environment is created
Term
Where does peptic ulcer disease normally occur in the pig?
Definition
stratified squamous mucosal zone of the stomach
Term
Gastrin can stimulate
Definition
ECL cells to release histamine
Term
Gastrin can stimulate
Definition
parietal cells to secrete HCl
Term
What kind of diet predisposes pigs to peptic ulcer disease?
Definition
finely ground diets
Term
What is the mechanism of finely ground diets causing peptic ulcers in pigs?
Definition
it increases fluidity of the gastric acids and decreases stratification causing acids to reflux and destroy the mucus free area
Term
Ach stimulates ECL cells to release
Definition
histamine
Term
Release of histamine from ECL cells causes
Definition
secretion of HCl
Term
Cephalic phase of gastric digestion
Definition
central stimulation of gastric release
Term
Gastric phase of digestion requires
Definition
presence of food in lumen
Term
What is the number 1 mechanism to inhibit gastrin release?
Definition
Acidification
Term
D cells
Definition
inhibit histamine release
Term
Prostaglandin stimulates
Definition
mucosal blood flow
Term
Oxyntic, cardiac, and pyloric zones
Definition
secrete mucus that forms a thick layer over epithelium
Term
Sodium bicarbonate is secreted by
Definition
centroacinar cells and proximal ductular cells of pancreas
Term
Continuous production of H+ and HCO3 ions is maintained by action of
Definition
carbonic anhydrase
Term
Zymogen granules
Definition
membrane bound packages that store enzymes synthesized by pancreatic cells
Term
Trypsin is stored as
Definition
trypsinogen due to its ability to attack membranes
Term
What is the significance of pancreatic bicarbonate secretion?
Definition
to balance the pH of intestinal contents, acting as a buffer
Term
CCK increases enzyme output from
Definition
pancreas
Term
Secretin
Definition
stimulates secretion of NaHCO3 from pancreas
Term
How does potentiation occur in respect to the interaction of secretin and CCK?
Definition
together they cause the release of enzymes and sodium bicarbonate from the pancreas
Term
Horses do not have
Definition
gallbladders
Term
In ruminants and pigs there is ________ secretion of bile into the intestine.
Definition
continuous
Term
In dog/cat, continuous secretion of bile is unnecessary because
Definition
consumption of food only occurs 1-2x a day
Term
During interdigestive periods bile
Definition
backs up into galbladder
Term
What is the difference between hepatic bile and gallbladder bile?
Definition
hepatic bile consists of electrolytes, water, and several organic compounds including bile salts, cholesterol, lecithin, and urobilinogen whereas gallbladder bile is much more concentrated because water and electrolytes are absorbed
Term
In what direction does blood and bile flow in a liver lobule?
Definition
blood from hepatic artery and portal vein flow centrally into the sinusoids whereas bile drains peripherally into ductules to the bile ducts in the portal triad
Term
How do protein-bound molecules access the hepatocyte?
Definition
by exiting endothelial sinusoids which have large pores that permit unrestricted passage
Term
Are the majority of bile salts charged or uncharged in the intestine?
Definition
charged, this way they are not absorbed by the upper intestines and sty in the lumen to digest fats
Term
Active transport and absorption of bile salts occur mainly in which part of the intestine?
Definition
ileum
Term
Where does bile go when it is reabsorbed from the ileum?
Definition
liver
