Study Notes
Gastric Secretion and Function
- The daily volume of gastric secretion is approximately 2-3 liters.
- The mucosa of the body of the stomach is responsible for iron absorption.
- The most potent stimulus for acid secretion by the parietal cells is histamine.
- A gastric residuum volume exceeding 100-120 ml can be caused by gastroparesis or pyloric obstruction.
- During a gastric function test, the pH of the gastric juice can be examined using a stomach tube.
