- ↑ growth of gastric mucosa
- ↑ gastric motility
What is secreted from K cells? Location? Action?
Glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide - duodenum and jejunum
- Exocrine: ↓ gastric H+ secretion
- Endocrine: ↑ insulin release
What is the action of Motilin? Source?
Motilin - small intestine
- Produces migrating motor complexes (MMCs)
What is secreted from S cells? Location? Action?
Secretin - duodenum
- ↑ pancreatic HCO3- secretion
- ↓ gastric acid secretion

- ↓ pancreatic and small intestine fluid secretion
- ↓ gallbladder contraction
- ↓ insulin and glucagon release
What is the action of Nitric Oxide in the GI tract?
↑ smooth muscle relaxation, including LES
What is the action of Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP)? Source?

Parasympathetic ganglia in sphincters, gallbladder, and small intestine:
- ↑ intestinal water and electrolyte secretion
- ↑ relaxation of intestinal smooth muscle and sphincters

Intrinsic Factor - stomach
- Vitamin B12 binding protein (required for B12 uptake in terminal ileum)

Gastric Acid - stomach

- Mucosal cells in stomach, duodenum, salivary glands, and pancreas
- Brunner glands in duodenum

- Acts to neutralize acid
Which regulatory substance ↑ pancreatic secretion, ↑ gallbladder contraction, ↓ gastric emptying, and ↑ sphincter of Oddi relaxation? Source? Regulation? Other?
- Cholecystokinin (from I cells in duodenum and jejunum)
- Regulation: ↑ by fatty acids and amino acids
- CCK acts on neural muscarinic pathways to cause pancreatic secretion
Which regulatory substance ↑ gastric H+ secretion, ↑ growth of gastric mucosa, and ↑ gastric motility? Source? Regulation? Other?
- Gastrin (from G cells in antrum of stomach)
- Regulation: ↑ by stomach distention/alkalinization, amino acids, peptides, and vagal stimulation; ↓ if stomach pH <1.5
- Phenylalanine and troptophan are potent stimulators
- Gastrin ↑↑ in Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome
- Gastrin ↑ by chronic PPI use
Which regulatory substance ↓ gastric H+ secretion (exocrine) and ↑ insulin release (endocrine)? Source? Regulation? Other?
Glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (aka Gastric Inhibitory Peptide = GIP)
- From K cells in duodenum and jejunum
- Regulation: ↑ by fatty acids, amino acids, and oral glucose
- Oral glucose load is used more rapidly than the equivalent given by IV due to GIP secretion
Which regulatory substance produces migrating motor complexes (MMCs)? Source? Regulation? Other?
Motilin - from small intestine
- Regulation: ↑ in fasting state
- Motilin receptor agonists (eg, erythromycin) are used to stimulate intestinal peristalsis
Which regulatory substance ↑ pancreatic HCO3-, ↓ gastric acid secretion, and ↑ bile secretion? Source? Regulation? Other?
Secretin - from S cells in duodenum
- Regulation: ↑ by acid and fatty acids in lumen of duodenum
- ↑ HCO3- neutralizes gastric acid in duodenum, allowing pancreatic enzymes to function
Which regulatory substance ↓ gastric acid and pepsinogen secretion, ↓ pancreatic and SI fluid secretion, ↓ GB contraction, and ↓ insulin and glucagon release? Source? Regulation? Other?

Somatostatin - from D cells in pancreatic islets and GI mucosa
- Regulation: ↑ by acid and ↓ by vagal stimulation
- Inhibitory hormone
- Antigrowth hormone effects (inhibits digestion and absorption of substances needed for growth)

Which regulatory substance ↑ smooth muscle relaxation including that of the LES? Other?
