Control of Exocrine Secretion via 3 stimuli
|
Distended pylorus
Peptones in duodenum Acid pH in duodenum |
|
A distended pylorus activates this agent from the parasympathetic ganglion. This stimulates what cells? The Pancreatic secretion result is?
|
Acetylcholine stimulates pyloric distention, which stimulates acinar cells for enzyme secretion.
|
|
Agent for Peptones in the duodenum? This stimulates what cells? The Pancreatic secretion result is?
|
CCK stimulates peptones in the duodenum, which stimulates acinar cells to secrete enzymes.
|
|
What is the agent for acid pH in the duodenum? This stimulates what cells? What is the Pancreatic exocrine secretion?
|
Acid pH in the duodenum activates secretin, which stimulates centroacinar cells of the intercalated duct to produce bicarbonate.
