stomach
|
columnar epithelium
|
|
stomach columnar epithelium inner surface is:

|
|
gastritis
|
irritation of stomach tissue due to lack of mucus
|

|
|
mucous neck cells

|
|
intrinsic factor
|
Intrinsic factor (IF) also known as gastric intrinsic factor (GIF) is a glycoprotein produced by the parietal cells of the stomach. It is necessary for the absorption of vitamin B12 later on in the small intestine
|
|
chief cells-
|
secrete pepsinogen
|
|
entero-endoctrine cells - 2 types we are concerned with and what they produce:
|
G cells - secrete gastrin
enterochromaffine-like cells - secrete histamine |
|
acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter from vagus nerve
|
increases Ca concentration in carotid cells...leads to HCl secretion
|
|
parietal cells
|
Parietal cells are the stomach epithelium cells that secrete gastric acid and intrinsic factor in response to histamine (H2 receptor), acetylcholine (M3 receptors[1]) and gastrin (CCK2 receptors).
|
|
parietal cells stimulated directly by
|
vagus nerve 10
|
|
chloride leaks out in -
|
antiport system to merge with hydrogen ions and make Hcl acid in stomach
|
|
pancreas-
|
counteracts acidity of chyme by releasing sodium bicarbonate
|
|
liver has to clean blood-
|
so you dont get hepatic dementia
|
|
large amounts of bicarbonate into interstitial fluid-
|
causes alkaline tide in nearby blood
|
|
pancreas-
|
produces acidic tide to counteract stomach's alkalinic tide
|
|
ciliac trunk and superior and inferior mesenteric arteries-
|
feed the digestive system
|
|
ciliac trunk divides into-
|
left gastric, splenic and common hepatic arteries
|
|
Parietal cells also produce intrinsic factor. Intrinsic factor is required for the absorption of
|
Vitamin B12 in the diet.
|
|
pylorum closed so...
|
large wave hits and then large wave comes backwards (retropulsion)
|
|
small intestine's purpose is
|
absorption, has not too many goblet cells and no mucosal layer
