Study Notes
Stomach Control
- Stomach endocrine cells release gastrin upon neural stimulation
- Gastrin stimulates gastric juice secretion (HCl, mucus, water, pepsin activation)
- Positive feedback loops prepare the stomach for food intake
Chyme and Duodenum Control
- When chyme enters the duodenum, endocrine cells release CCK (cholecystokinin)
- CCK triggers gallbladder bile release for lipid emulsification
- CCK levels directly correlate with chyme levels in the duodenum
- Secretin is released by duodenum endocrine cells in response to chyme
- Secretin increases pancreatic enzyme formation and bicarbonate production
- Secretin stimulates pancreatic secretions to mix with chyme
- Secretin levels in blood are proportional to chyme levels in the duodenum
Liver Bile Secretion
- Liver bile production and secretion are not hormonally controlled
Blood Glucose Homeostasis
- Normal blood glucose levels in adults are 3-4.5 mmol/dL
- Hyperglycemia (high blood glucose) can cause tissue damage, glaucoma, swelling, and neural diseases
- Hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) can cause temperature issues, hypotension, and bradycardia
- Post-meal blood glucose rises to ~5.0 mmol/dL (trigger level)
- Between meals, blood glucose levels fall to ~3.5 mmol/dL (trigger level)
