Study Notes
Gastric Secretion Regulation
- Gastric secretion is regulated by neural and hormonal mechanisms.
- Three phases: cephalic, gastric, and intestinal.
Cephalic Phase
- Occurs before food enters the stomach.
- Taste, smell, or even thoughts of food stimulate the medulla oblongata.
- Stimulates parasympathetic action potentials through the vagus nerve to the stomach.
- Results in HCl and pepsin secretion by parietal and chief cells.
- Also stimulates gastrin secretion.
- Gastrin further stimulates HCl and pepsin secretion.
Gastric Phase
- Occurs once food enters the stomach.
- Stomach distension activates a parasympathetic reflex.
- Action potentials are carried by the vagus nerve to the medulla oblongata.
- This stimulates further secretions to the stomach.
- Distension also stimulates local reflexes that amplify stomach secretions.
Intestinal Phase
- Occurs as partially digested food enters the duodenum.
- Chyme in the duodenum with pH less than 2 or containing lipids inhibits gastric secretions.
- Three mechanisms involved:
- Sensory input from the duodenum inhibits motor input from the medulla to the stomach. This stops pepsin and HCl secretion.
- Local reflexes inhibit gastric secretion.
- Secretin, gastric inhibitory polypeptide, and cholecystokinin produced by the duodenum inhibit gastric secretions in the stomach.
Physiological Regulation of Gastric Acid Secretion
- Stimulatory factors: gastrin, acetylcholine, histamine
- Inhibitory factors: somatostatin, prostaglandins E2 and I2, intestinal hormones
Stimulation of Gastric Acid Secretion
- Mechanism: Cholinergic nerves release acetylcholine, which acts on muscarinic receptors on parietal cells and ECL cells.
- ECL cells release histamine.
- Histamine acts on H2-receptors on parietal cells.
- Gastrin also acts on parietal cells and ECL cells.
- Parietal cells release hydrogen ions (H+) through the proton pump (H+/K+ ATPase).
Inhibition of Gastric Acid Secretion
- Mechanism: Somatostatin (SSR) is secreted from D cells in the gastric gland.
- Somatostatin inhibits gastrin, histamine, and acetylcholine release.
- Prostaglandins E2 (PGE2) and I2 (PGI2) also inhibit gastric acid secretion by acting on parietal cells.
Drugs to Treat Disorders of Acid Secretion
- Antacids and alginates: buffer gastric acid, raising pH (e.g., Calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate)
- Histamine H2-receptor antagonists: decrease acid secretion (e.g., famotidine)
- Proton pump inhibitors: irreversibly inhibit the H+/K+-ATPase pump, preventing acid secretion (e.g., omeprazole and lansoprazole)
Summary
- Gastric secretion is a complex process regulated by multiple factors.
- HCl production is a key element, stimulated by various factors and inhibited by others.
- Understanding the different phases of gastric acid secretion and its regulation is crucial for medical professionals.
- Various drugs target specific mechanisms to treat disorders of acid secretion.
