The purest specimens of parietal cell secretion that have been obtained contain app....
|
0.17 N HCL with pHs as low as 0.87. The pH of the cytoplasm of the parietal cells, like that of other cells is 7-7,2.
|
|
|
What is it in the apical membrane of the parietal cells that pumps H+ against a concentration gradient of this magnitude.
|
It is the H+-K+ ATPase.
|
|
|
How are parietal cells anatomically positioned with respect to the gastric lumen?
|
The parietal cells are polarized, with an apical membrane facing the lumen of the gastric glands ans a basolateral membrane in contact with the interstitial fluid.
|
|
|
At rest, the cells contain abundant tubulovesicular structures with H+-K+ ATPase molecules in their walls. TRUE/FALSE
|
TRUE.
|
|
|
What happens when parietal cells are stimulated?
|
The tubulovesicular structures move to the apical membrane and fuse with it, thus inserting many more H+-K+ ATPase molecules into the membrane.
These ATPase molecules are now exposed to the K+ in the ECF and H+-K+ exchange begins. |
|
|
What is the physiological process of HCL secretion?
|
1. H+ is secreted into the gastric lumen in exchange for K+ by H+-K+ ATPase.
2. HCO3- is exchanged for CL- in the interstitial fluid by an antiport, and Na+-K+ ATPase keeps intracellular Na+ low. |
