Gastric Anatomy

Gastric Cells

Gastric Cell FXN’s • • • Goblet cells – produce alkaline mucus Mucus Neck cells – produce acidic mucus Parietal cells – produce HCl & Intrinsic Factor • Chief cells – produce pepsinogen • Enteroendocrine cells – produce gastrin, pepsin, cholecystokinin, & somatostatin

Gall Bladder & Pancreas Empty Contents into Duodenum

Liver & Pancreas Secretions

Liver FXN’s • Synthesizes bile (bile salts, biliruben, & cholesterol) • Stores glucose as glycogen • Stores fat soluble vitamins ADEK

Gall Bladder FXN • Stores bile • CCK contracts gall bladder secretion of pancreatic juice & relaxation of the sphincter of Oddi Pathophysiology • Gall stones – too much cholesterol or too few bile salts resulting in cholesterol crystal accumulation • Obstructional jaundice – bile duct becomes obstructed & bilirubin increases in blood

Gallstones

Bile Salt

FXN Pancreas • Secretes basic pancreatic juice (p. H 7. 5 -8. 0) Pancreatic Juice (p. j. ) • Bicarbonate rich p. j. neutralizes HCl in the duodenum (Stimulated by secretin when HCl enters the duodenum) • Enzyme rich p. j. stimulated by CCK when fatty or protein rich foods enter the duodenum Note • Hormones released in inactive form so they don’t digest the pancreas

Accessory Organ Ducts & Sphincter

HCO 3 - Na+ Pancreatic duct H 2 O CO 2 Pancreatic acinar cell H 2 CO 3 Na+ H+ Blood capillary Pancreatic secretion of Na. HCO 3 (sodium bicarbonate) [simplified]

Water & Mineral Digestion

Absorption of… Vitamins – • A, D, E, K fat soluble (diffuse into blood) • B & C water soluble (diffuse into blood) • B 12 requires intrinsic factor for diffusion…leads to pernicious anemia • Electrolytes (Na+, K+, HCO 3 -, Cl-) • Iron – binds to ferratin in mucosal cells & transferrin in the blood for transport • Calcium – PTH increases ionic calcium & vitamin D aids in absorption

Anal Sphincter Control

Hormonal Control of Digestion (Produced in stomach) • • Gastrin - HCl secretion & gastric emptying Serotonin – Contracts gastric muscle Histamine – HCl release from parietal cells Pepsinogen – inactive form of pepsin (HCl activated) • Somatostatin – Inhibits: gastric secretions gastric emptying pancreatic secretions intestinal absorption gall bladder contraction (bile release) catabolyzes protein

Hormonal Control of Digestion (Produced in Duodenum) • Secretin - pancreatic juice secretion & bile output • Cholecystokinin - pancreatic juice output, contracts gall bladder, & relaxes sphincter of Oddi • Gastric inhibitory peptide – inhibits gastric secretion & motility • Vasoactive intestinal peptide – dilates intestinal capillaries & inhibits HCl production

Hormonal Control of Digestion (Produced by pancreas) • Trypsinogen – Inactive form of trypsin (activated by enterokinase) catabolyzes protein to peptides • Amylase – catabolyzes polysaccharides • Lipase – catabolyzes lipids • Carboxypeptidase – catabolyzes protein to amino acids • Chymotrypsin – catabolyzes protein to peptides

The absorptive state Metabolic states • During & for several hours after a meal • Insulin • glucose uptake by cells (from blood) • glycogenesis in liver cells • lipogenesis in fat cells • lipolysis in fat cells Continues until. . .

Metabolic states The postabsorptive state • Begins several hours after a meal • Glucagon • glycogenolysis • gluconeogenesis • lipolysis in fat cells • lipogenesis in fat cells

Feces may indicate health issues • Motility / timing • Diarrhea • Constipation • Color / consistency • Gray = lack of bile • Black/tarry = bleeding (upper) • Black = Pepto. Bismol • Red = bleeding (lower)
