gastrin = hormone responsible for promoting the release of pepsinogen, mucous, and hydrochloric acid in the stomach, and the presence of food or rising pH causes release of gastrin (from enteroendocrine cells)
gastrin causes stomach glands to produce
hydrochloric acid
mucus
protein-digesting enzymes (chief cells)
Acidic pH: activated pepsinogen conversion to pepsin = partial protein digestion
acidic pH: activates pepsinogen conversion to pepsin = partial protein digestion
provides hostile environment for microorganisms
HCI partially denatures proteins
which stimulates the secretion of bile and pancreatic juice
stomach:
The presence of food / changing acidity causes enteroendocrine cells to release hormones such as gastrin
this causes stomach glands to produce 1. hydrochloric acid, 2. mucus, 3. protein - digesting enzymes
parietal cell
one of the cells that are the source of the hydrochloric acid and most of the water in the stomach juices
pariteal cells
secrete hydrochloric acid and intrinsic factor
in the stomach:
HCI creates high acidity (pH about 2) and activates the protein digesting enzyme, pepsin
acidity kills ingested bacteria
intrinsic factor is for the absorption of vitamin B12 in the small intestine
what is an intrinsic factor?
glycoprotein produced by the parietal cells located at the gastric body,
this mother fuckers role is in the transportation and absorption of the micronutrient vitamin B12
chief cells secrete pepsinogen (an inactive form of pepsin)
parietal cells secrete HCL to make acidic environment and in turn, HCL converts the pepsinogen to the active form of pepsin
pepsin helps in the digestion of proteins by breaking down polypeptides into smaller peptides
small intestine: secretion is synthesized and secreted by S cells in the small intestine
secretion release in mainly stimulated by gastric acid delivered into the duodenal lumen
small intestine
secretin from S cells - in response to acidic chyme entering duodenum and partially digested nutrients
left off slide 5/19
the small intestine contains secretin
this is in response to acidic chyme entering the duodenum
stimulates the flow of pancreatic juice to help buffer gastric juice
increases bile production ( acts as a fat emulsifier (substance mixer) like oil and water
this hormone has an inhibitory effect on the gastric secretion
what are the 3 gastric inhibitory hormones?
Cholecystokinin (CCK)
secretin
gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP)
in response to partially digested proteins and fats, Cholecystokinin:
increases pancreatic juice
increases bile secretion
relaxes hepatopancreatic ampulla
contracts pyloric sphincter
inhibit gastric activity
what is hepatopancreatic ampulla?

spherical structure located on the common bile duct and pancreatic duct, and is the entry point of bile into the second portion of the duodenum
pyloric sphincter: where the pylorus meets the duodenum
gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP): Released by k cells into small intestine in response to distention of the duodenum
inhibits secretion of gastric juice
stimulates insulin release

another mother fuckign frame of reference summary
kidneys:
stimulates the production of RBS at red bone marrow in response to hypoxia (more red blood cells = more red blood cell oxygen carry capacity)

also stimulates calcitriol (actives vitamin D and makes it usable and easy to absorb)
stimulates renin (to cut the shit out of angiotensinogen)
erythropoietin released due to the detection of low blood oxygen
