Which cells secrete Secretin, what is it secreted in response to and what is it's function?
|
Secreted by S cells in duodenum in response to increased acid and fat. Causes secretion of bicarb by Brenner's glands, decreased gastric acid, and secretion of bile.
|
|
Which cells secrete CCK, what is it secreted in response to and what is it's function?
|
Secreted by I cells in duodenum and jejunum in response to FAs and AAs. Causes increased pancreatic enzyme secretion and gallbladder contraction.
|
|
Which cells secrete gastrin, what is it secreted in response to and what is it's function?
|
Secreted by G cells in the stomach antrum in response to stomach distension, peptides, & vagal stim. Increases H+ secretion by parietal cells, stimulates growth of gastric mucosa, & increases gastric motility.
|
|
Which cells secrete VIP, what is it secreted in response to and what is it's function?
|
Secreted by the pancreas? in response to distension & vagal stim. Decreased by adrenergic input. Functions to increase intestinal water & electrolyte secretion, & relax intestinal sm muscle & sphincters.
|
|
Which cells secrete motilin, what is it secreted in response to and what is it's function?
|
Produced in the small intestine in fasting state. Serves to increase intestinal motility
|
|
Which cells secrete somatostatin, what is it secreted in response to and what is it's function?
|
Secreted by D cells in pancreas & GI mucosa in response to low pH. Secretion decreased by vagal stim. Functions centrally to inhibit GH & TSH release as well as suppresses release of most other GI hrmnes.
|
|
What is the mechanism of EHEC's toxin?
|
Shiga-like AB toxin. B toxin facilitates entry into cells and A portion prevents t-RNA from binding to 60s
|
|
What is the mechanism of ETEC's toxin?
|
Same as V. cholerae, increases intracellular cAMP causing fluid efflux from cells
|
|
What is the mechanism of C. diff's toxin?
|
2 toxins A & B, Toxin B depolymerizes actin filaments
