    Study Notes

    Gastric Emptying Regulation

    • Acidic chyme enters the duodenum, where it's neutralized by sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) secreted from the pancreas.
    • Unneutralized hydrogen ions (H+) in the duodenum:
      • Inhibit gastric emptying until complete neutralization occurs.
      • Inactivate pancreatic enzymes.

    Duodenal Factors that Regulate Gastric Emptying

    • Hypertonicity in the duodenum:

      • Occurs when the absorption rate of amino acids and glucose falls behind protein and carbohydrate digestion.
      • Increased osmolarity in the duodenum draws water into the lumen.
      • This reflexively inhibits gastric emptying to allow the duodenum time to catch up.

    • Distension of the duodenum by chyme:

      • Inhibits gastric emptying, giving the duodenum time to process the incoming food.

    Gastric Digestive Juice: Cells & Secretion

    • The stomach secretes gastric juice, containing enzymes and acids.
    • The gastric mucosa has two areas: the oxyntic mucosa and the pyloric gland area.
      • Oxyntic mucosa is found in the body and fundus of the stomach.
      • Pyloric gland area is found in the antrum of the stomach.

    Gastric Secretory Cells

    • Oxyntic Glands (found in the body and fundus):

      • Surface epithelial cells: Cover the gastric mucosa.
      • Mucous cells: Line the gastric pits and secrete thin, watery mucus.
      • Chief cells: Line deeper parts of the gastric glands and secrete pepsinogen.
      • Parietal (oxyntic) cells: Line deeper parts of the gastric glands and secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl).
      • Enterochomaffin-like (ECL) cells: Found in gastric glands and secrete histamine.

    • Pyloric gland area:

      • G cells: Located in the antrum and secrete gastrin in response to eating.
      • D cells: Secrete somatostatin, which inhibits HCl secretion, gastrin release, and histamine release.

    Gastrin Actions

    • Stimulates:
      • H+ secretion from parietal cells.
      • Growth of gastric mucosa (trophic effect).

    HCl Secretion by Parietal Cells

    • Parietal cells secrete HCl via a proton pump (H+/K+ ATPase).
    • Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that blocks this pump.
    • HCl secretion is regulated by agonists:
      • Acetylcholine (ACh)
      • Gastrin
      • Histamine
    • Prilosec inhibits H+/K+ ATPase.

    Functions of HCl

    • Activates pepsinogen to pepsin.
    • Aids in breaking down connective tissue and proteins.
    • Kills most microorganisms ingested with food.

    Pepsinogen

    • Pepsinogen is secreted in an inactive form into the gastric lumen.
    • HCl cleaves pepsinogen, converting it to active pepsin.
    • Pepsin acts on other pepsinogens to produce more pepsin (autocatalytic process).
    • Pepsin initiates protein digestion by splitting some amino acid linkages into peptides.

    Gastric Mucosal Barrier (GMB)

    • Protects the stomach lining from the damaging effects of HCl and pepsin.
    • A broken GMB can lead to peptic ulcers, which can be caused by excessive NSAID use.

    True/False Statements

    • The stomach can accommodate increased volume due to receptive relaxation, which flattens rugae and allows increased volume without a change in pressure.
    • The presence of acid in the duodenum slows down gastric emptying.
    • Histamine, gastrin, and acetylcholine all stimulate parietal cell H+ secretion.
    • Gastric contractions propel chyme against a closed pyloric sphincter, resulting in retropulsion, which mixes chyme and further breaks down food particles.
    • Pepsinogen is secreted in its inactive form.
    • Most gastric secretion occurs during the gastric phase.
    • Peptic ulcers can be caused by a broken GMB due to excessive NSAID use.
