Study Notes
Control of Pancreatic Secretion
- The intestinal phase involves secretin and CCK as key regulators.
- Secretin increases aqueous solution and bicarbonate (HCO3-) secretion, elevating pH in response to acidity.
- CCK is stimulated by fats and proteins, promoting enzyme secretion from acinar cells.
- Vagal afferent fibers facilitate CCK's effect through acetylcholine (ACh).
Gallbladder and Bile
- Bile is produced by hepatocytes, stored in the gallbladder, and released into the duodenum.
- Composed of water, bilirubin, cholesterol, bile salts, and fats, bile is essential for fat digestion.
- Secretin enhances water and bicarbonate secretion from bile ducts.
- CCK constricts the gallbladder and relaxes the sphincter of Oddi, facilitating bile acid release.
- The vagus nerve also plays a role in gallbladder contraction.
Brunner’s Glands
- Located in the early duodenum, Brunner’s glands secrete mucous and bicarbonate.
- Protects the duodenum from stomach acid, with secretion influenced by food presence and vagal stimulation.
- Secretin and CCK further stimulate their secretion, while sympathetic stimulation decreases it.
Gastrointestinal Hormones
- Key hormones include gastrin, cholecystokinin (CCK), and secretin, among others.
- These hormones influence pancreatic function, bile secretion, and Brunner’s gland activity.
Regulation of Food Intake
- Central regulation occurs in the hypothalamus, influenced by neurohumoral signals from digestion and emotional states.
- Two main efferent pathways:
- Suppression of food intake and increased metabolism.
- Hormonal inputs from gastrin and CCK.
Pancreatic Secretions
- The pancreas has both endocrine (glucagon, insulin) and exocrine functions.
- Exocrine components include enzyme-rich juice (from acinar cells) and aqueous solution (from ductal cells).
- Enzyme precursors are secreted as inactive forms (trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen) and activated in the duodenum.
Gastric Phases
- Cephalic Phase: Triggered by sensory stimuli; stimulates gastrin release and secretion of mucous, HCl, and pepsinogen.
- Gastric Phase: Activated by stomach distension, promotes peristalsis and gastric emptying.
- Intestinal Phase: Inhibitory phase by CCK and secretin to slow gastric emptying.
Gastrin and CCK
- Both are structurally related and act on CCK receptors; share similar C-terminal sequences.
- Gastrin is densely located in the antrum, stimulated by receptors activated during cephalic and gastric phases.
- Increases acid secretion from parietal cells and stimulates growth of gastric mucosa.
Cholecystokinin (CCK)
- Released from I cells in the upper small intestine in response to proteins and fats.
- CCK mainly affects gallbladder and pancreas but also has complex interactions with gastric acid secretion, depending on receptor type.
- Involved in increasing blood flow to the splanchnic area.
Secretin
- Produced by S cells in the duodenum, stimulated by low pH and fatty acids.
- Promotes pancreatic and gallbladder secretions, decreases gastric acid secretion, and enhances blood flow.
Other Hormones
- Somatostatin: Released in response to increased glucose and amino acids; inhibits motility, acid secretion, and blood flow.
- Motilin: Triggers migrating motor complex, released in cycles, inhibited by food intake.
- Gastric Inhibitory Peptide (GIP): Released in the presence of food; inhibits gastric secretions but stimulates insulin release.
- Serotonin (5-HT): Associated with vomiting, some anti-emetics target its receptors.
