Gastric
Cells
Gastric Cell FXN’s
• Goblet cells – produce alkaline mucus
• Mucus Neck cells – produce acidic mucus
• Parietal cells – produce HCl & Intrinsic
Factor
• Chief cells – produce pepsinogen
• Enteroendocrine cells – produce gastrin,
pepsin, cholecystokinin, & somatostatin
Gall Bladder & Pancreas Empty
Contents into Duodenum
Liver & Pancreas Secretions
Liver FXN’s
• Synthesizes bile (bile salts, biliruben,
& cholesterol)
• Stores glucose as glycogen
• Stores fat soluble vitamins ADEK
Gall Bladder
FXN
• Stores bile
• CCK contracts gall bladder secretion of pancreatic
juice & relaxation of the sphincter of Oddi
Pathophysiology
• Gall stones – too much cholesterol or too few bile
salts resulting in cholesterol crystal accumulation
• Obstructional jaundice – bile duct becomes
obstructed & bilirubin increases in blood
Gallstones
Bile Salt
FXN
Pancreas
• Secretes basic pancreatic juice (pH 7.5-8.0)
Pancreatic Juice (p.j.)
• Bicarbonate rich p.j. neutralizes HCl in the duodenum
(Stimulated by secretin when HCl enters the duodenum)
• Enzyme rich p.j. stimulated by CCK when fatty or protein
rich foods enter the duodenum
Note
• Hormones released in inactive form so they don’t digest the
pancreas

Water & Mineral Digestion
Absorption of…
Vitamins –
• A,D,E,K fat soluble (diffuse into blood)
• B & C water soluble (diffuse into blood)
• B12 requires intrinsic factor for diffusion…leads to
pernicious anemia
• Electrolytes (Na+, K+, HCO3-, Cl-)
• Iron – binds to ferratin in mucosal cells & transferrin in the
blood for transport
• Calcium – PTH increases ionic calcium & vitamin D aids in
absorption

Control
Hormonal Control of Digestion
(Produced in stomach)
•
•
•
•
Gastrin - HCl secretion & gastric emptying
Serotonin – Contracts gastric muscle
Histamine – HCl release from parietal cells
Pepsinogen – inactive form of pepsin (HCl activated)
•
Somatostatin – Inhibits:
gastric secretions
gastric emptying
pancreatic secretions
intestinal absorption
gall bladder contraction (bile release)
catabolyzes protein
Hormonal Control of Digestion
(Produced in Duodenum)
• Secretin -
pancreatic juice secretion & bile output
• Cholecystokinin - pancreatic juice output, contracts gall
bladder, & relaxes sphincter of Oddi
• Gastric inhibitory peptide – inhibits gastric secretion &
motility
• Vasoactive intestinal peptide – dilates intestinal capillaries &
inhibits HCl production
Hormonal Control of Digestion
(Produced by pancreas)
• Trypsinogen – Inactive form of trypsin (activated by
enterokinase) catabolyzes protein to peptides
• Amylase – catabolyzes polysaccharides
• Lipase – catabolyzes lipids
• Carboxypeptidase – catabolyzes protein to amino acids
• Chymotrypsin – catabolyzes protein to peptides
The absorptive state
Metabolic states
•During & for several hours after a meal
•Insulin
• glucose uptake by cells (from blood)
• glycogenesis in liver cells
• lipogenesis in fat cells
• lipolysis in fat cells
Continues until . . .
Metabolic states
The postabsorptive state
•Begins several hours after a meal
•Glucagon
• glycogenolysis
• gluconeogenesis
• lipolysis in fat cells
• lipogenesis in fat cells
Feces may indicate health issues
•Motility / timing
•Diarrhea
•Constipation
•Color / consistency
•Gray = lack of bile
•Black/tarry = bleeding (upper)
•Black = PeptoBismol
•Red = bleeding (lower)
