Pancreas produces what from where?

What regulates flow of bile/pancreatic secretions and prevents reflux?

Exocrine pancreas:
Exocrine - digestive enzymes
hormones - Islets of Langerhans

Sphincter of Oddi

digestion enzymes, simple epithelial serous cells (small, dark staining); compound tubuloacinar (branched, flask shaped)
What do duct cells add to secretions?

Order of ducts from secreting cells:

Epithelium type in intralobular duct?

How to recognize interlobular duct?
HCO3- and H2O - neutralizes acidity

intercalated --> intralobular --> interlobular

cuboidal

runs with pancreatic artery, vein
How are enzymes stored in acinar cells?

What stimulates release/exocytosis?

Enzymes released?
zymogen granules

PNS via vagus n., CCK

proteases, lipases, amylases, RNases, DNases, HCO3-
Difference between acinar and centroacinar cells?

Where are Islets of Langerhans more abundant? Appearance?

Explain the insuloacinar portal system:
centroacinar nucleus surrounded by pale cytoplasm, no zymogen granules - produce HCO3, watery fluid, secretin

lighter staining collection of cells in tail of pancreas

afferent arteriole --> fenestrated capillaries --> efferent arteriole --> acini
4 major cell types and secretions?

What are G cells? EC cells?
A - glucagon - triggered by low BS
B - insulin - high BS
D - somatostatin - paracrine, inhibits release of other pancreatic hormones; VIP - similar to glucagon
F (PP - pancreatic polypeptide) - PP's - inhibits secretion of digestive enzymes, HCO3-, HCl from parietal cells

G - produces gastrin; EC cells - secretin, motilin, substance P
PNS stimuilation causes what in the endocrine pancreas? SNS?
PNS - increased insulin, glucagon
SNS - inhibits insulin release
