Gastritis |
Stomach (lining) inflammation |
|
Gastric glands |
Contain: -parietal cells -chief cells -mucous cells |
|
parietal cells |
=oxyntic cells -hydrochloric acid producing (as separate ions) |
|
chief cells
|
produce an enzyme precursor called pepsinogen |
|
mucous cells |
produce the protective mucus layer |
|
histamine receptors |
greates impact on acid production |
|
enterochromaffin-like cells |
specialized cells in stomach that secrete H2 receptors (stimulated by histamine) Produce histamine |
|
gastrin |
locallly produced hormone produced by G cells in distal part of the stomach and proximal part of duodenum hormone normally released from stomach wall in response to proteins signals relaxation of the stomach wall |
|
mucins |
complex molecules produced by the mucus-producing cells in the gastric glands main constituent of the mucous coating |
|
bicarbonate ion |
also secreted and added to the mucous coat mkaing it more alkaline neutralize hydrochloric acid |
|
prostaglandins |
-stimulates mucus production -inhibits acid production by parietal cells |
|
antacids |
decrease stomach acidity by -chemically combining with HCl -decreasing acid production |
|
nonsystemic antacids |
given by mouth not absorbed, instead directly neutralize acid molecules in stomach or rumen rare side effets |
|
systemic antacids |
must be absrobed, circulate, and attach to receptors of the cells of the stomach to produce their effect |
|
proton pump inhibitor |
acid pump omeprazole (systemic antacid) inhibits pump that normally transports hydrogen ions into the stomach lumen |
