Study Notes
GI Physiology – Key GI Hormones
- Vago-Vagal Reflex: stimulates the stomach, pancreas, and duodenum to prepare for digestion
- Cephalic Stage/Phase of Digestion: chewing, tasting, and swallowing excites the Vagus, which then sends impulses to the stomach, pancreas, and duodenum to improve secretion and motility
Gastric Acid Secretion
- Gastrin: produced by G-cells in the gastric antrum, stimulates gastric acid secretion
- Histamine: produced by ECL-cells in the gastric mucosa, stimulates gastric acid secretion
- Ach: stimulates gastric acid secretion through parasympathetic nerves
- Gastric Inhibitory Peptide (GIP): inhibits gastric acid secretion
- Somatostatin: inhibits gastric acid secretion and gastric gland mucosa repair
Exocrine Secretion
- Salivary Glands: produce saliva containing amylase, lingual lipase, mucous, antibacterial agents, glycoproteins, and nerve and epidermal growth factors
- Stomach: produces gastric exocrine secretion including HCl, pepsin, lipase, mucous, and gastric intrinsic factor
Hormones and their Effects
- Gastrin: stimulates gastric acid secretion, gastric gland mucosa repair, and gall bladder contraction
- CCK (Cholecystokinin): stimulates gall bladder contraction, pancreatic enzyme release, and pancreatic bicarbonate release
- Secretin: stimulates pancreatic and biliary bicarbonate release, pepsin secretion, and repair of exocrine pancreas
- GIP (Gastric Inhibitory Peptide): stimulates insulin release, inhibits gastric acid secretion
- Motilin: stimulates gastric and intestinal motility
GI Tract Movement
- Vagus Nerve: stimulates gastric and intestinal motility
- Motilin: stimulates gastric and intestinal motility
- Enkephalins: stimulate smooth muscle contraction and intestinal secretion
Integrated Systemic View
- Gastric and intestinal phases of digestion are controlled by the Vagus and local reflexes
- Hormones and nerves interact to regulate digestion and absorption
