Study Notes
Gastrointestinal Hormones
Secretin
- Discovered as the first gastrointestinal hormone
- Produced by "S" cells in the duodenum's mucosa
- Released in response to acidic gastric juice entering the duodenum
- Has a mild effect on the motility of the GI tract
- Stimulates pancreatic secretion of bicarbonate to neutralize acid in the small intestine
Gastric Inhibitory Peptide (GIP)
- Secreted by the upper small intestine's mucosa
- Mainly responds to fatty acids and amino acids
- Also responds to carbohydrates, but to a lesser extent
- Decreases motor activity in the stomach
- Slows the emptying of gastric contents into the duodenum to prevent overloading the small intestine with food
Motilin
- Released by the upper duodenum during fasting
- Only function is to increase GI motility
- Released cyclically, stimulating waves of motility
- Involved in inter digestive myoelectric complexes that move through the stomach and small intestine every 90 minutes
- Inhibited after ingestion, but the mechanisms are unknown
