increases relaxation of intestinal smooth muscle and sphincters
VIP
increases smooth muscle relaxation, including LES
nitric oxide
produces migrating motor complexes (MMCs)
motilin
Increases GH, ACTH, cortisol, and prolactin secretion
ghrelin
Binds vitamin B12 (required for B12 uptake in terminal ileum)
intrinsic factor
decreases stomach pH
gastric acid
protein digestion
pepsin
neutralizes acid
HCO3-
What effects does vagal stimulation have on GI hormonal secretions?
Vagal stimulation increases gastrin, pepsin, and VIP
Vagal stimulation decreases somatostatin
Increased in Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
Phe and Trp are potent stimulators
Gastrin
Produces colicky pain in colelithiasis
CCK
neutralizes gastric acid in duodenum, allowing pancreatic enzymes to function
secretin/HCO3-
Antigrowth hormone effects
somatostatin
Used to treat VIPomas and carcinoid tumors
somatostatin
The reason why an oral glucose load is used more rapidly than IV load
GIP (responds to oral glucose only)
non-a, non-B islet cell pancreatic tumor causing copious diarrhea
VIPoma
causes achalasia
decreased NO secretion --> increased LES tone
regulates hunger, meal initiation; lost following gastric bypass surgery
ghrelin
associated with hyperphagia in Prader-Willi
ghrelin
causes chronic gastritis and pernicious anemia
loss of parietal cells/intrinsic factor
tumor that causes continuous high levels of acid secretion and peptic ulcers
gastrinoma
What converts pepsinogen to pepsin?
H+
Where are parietal and chief cells located?
In the body of the stomach
Where are G cells and mucous cells located?
In the antrum of the stomach
What is the primary means by which gastrin increases acid release?
G cells --> gastrin --> ECL cells --> histamine --> H2 receptors (Gs)
Which salivary gland produces the most serous secretion?
Parotid (serous on the sides)
Which salivary gland produces the most mucinous secretion?
Sublingual (mucinous in the middle)
How does flow rate affect composition of saliva?
High flow rate - more hypotonic (reabsorbs more Na and Cl)
What enzyme begins starch digestion in saliva?
a-amylase (ptyalin); inactivated by low pH of stomach
What component of saliva neutralizes oral bacterial products?
bicarb (bacterial acids) --> dental health
What component of saliva lubricates food?
mucins (glycoproteins)
What structure runs through the parotid gland but does not innervated it?
CN VII (innervates submandibular and sublingual glands)
Which receptor acts via increasing cAMP to increase the action of the H+/K+ ATPase?
H2 receptor
Which compounds act via a Gi (decreasing cAMP) to decrease the action of the H+/K+ ATPase?
Somatostatin and prostaglandins
Which receptors act via increasing IP3/Ca to increase the action of the H+/K+ ATPase?
gastrin receptor
M3 receptor
What are the only submucosal glands in the GI tract?
Brunner's glands; hypertrophied in PUD
What pancreatic enzyme(s) aid in carbohydrate digestion?
a-amylase (starch)
What pancreatic enzyme(s) aid in fat digestion?
lipase, phospholipase A, colipase
What pancreatic enzyme(s) aid in protein digestion?
trypsin
chymotrypsin
elastase
carboxypeptidase

All are secreted as zymogens
Which pancreatic protease increases its own and others' secretion through positive feedback?
trypsinogen --> trypsin
hydrolyzes a-1,4 linkages to yield disaccharides
salivary amylase
hydrolyzes starch to yield oligosaccharides and disaccharides
pancreatic amylase
Where does the rate-limiting step of carbohydrate digestion take place?
At the intestinal brush border
(oligosaccharide hydrolases convert oligo/disaccharides --> monosaccharides)
What enterocyte transporter takes up glucose?
SGLT1 (Na+ dependent)
What enterocyte transporter takes up galactose?
