secretin is synthesized by

*cell type
*location
S cells

duodenal muscosa
secretin secretion is stimulated by presence of _____ in the duodenum
gastric acid (acidic chyme)
pancreatic aqueous secretion is synthesized by
intestinal duct cells
characteristics of pancreatic aqueous secretion:

*volume
*[HCO3]
*[enzyme]
*volume: high
*[HCO3]: high (neutralizes gastric acid in the duodenum)
*[enzyme]: low
secretin inhibits secretion of _____ and release of _____
gastric acid

gastrin
secretin stimulates secretion of
pepsinogen
CCK is synthesized by

*cell type
*location
I cells

duodenal mucosa
CCK secretion is stimulated by presence of ______ or _____ in the duodenum
fatty acids

amino acids
CCK stimulates ______ and _____ secretion
pancreatic aqueous

pancreatic enzyme (pancreatic acinar cells)
contraction of the gallbladder and relaxation of the sphincter of Oddi is stimulated by
CCK
pancreatic enzyme secretion:

*volume
*[enzyme]
*volume: low
*[enzyme]: high
pancreatic enzyme secretion is stimulated by (5)

*Ca mediated
*cAMP mediated
*Ca mediated:
- CCK
- ACh
- gastrin

*cAMP mediated:
- secretin
- VIP (important when vipomas are present)

*secretin and CCK act synergistically*
function of bile salts
emulsify fats and steroids in the intestine
bile is produced and secreted by the
liver
path of bile once it's synthesized by the liver
bile canaliculi --> bile ducts --> hepatic ducts --> common bile duct --> duodenum

bile canaliculi --> bile ducts --> hepatic ducts --> cystic duct --> gallbladder
types of bile secretion (2)
bile acid independent secretion

bile acid dependent secretion (bile acid serves as a negative feedback mechanism to bile secretion)
bile acid independent secretion

*location (2)
*stimulated by
canaliculi and bile ducts

secretin
bile acid dependent secretion

*location
*inhibited by
parenchymal cells

bile acids returning to liver in portal blood
bile acid synthesis is inhibited by
bile acids returning to the liver (negative feedback inhibition)
bile salts are conjugated with (2)
glycine (75%)

taurine (25%)
conjugated bile salts:

*pK
*charge at neutral pH
*water soluble?
*amphipathic?
*pK: 4
*charge at neutral pH: negative (anionic: -OH and COO- groups)
*water soluble at neutral pH?: Yes
*amphipathic at neutral pH?: yes (allows bile salts to emulsify and solubilize fats and steroids)
bile salts are deconjugated and dehyodroxylated by
intestinal bacteria (distal ileum)
non-ionic bile acids are absorbed in the
small intestine
concentration of bile in the gallbladder is due to
active transport of Na, Cl, and HCO3 out of the lateral membrances of gallbladder epithelial cells
relative bile concentration:

liver vs. gallbladder
bile is 10X more concentrated in the gallbladder than in the liver (due to salt and water removal)
when concentrated, bile forms
