I. Stomach—B. Cell types and their
secretions
25-8
§ The stomach wall• Structures from the outermost layer:
1. Three muscle layers– muscularis externa
2. Gastric rugae– Wrinkles formed by mucosa and submucosa
3. Gastric pits– depressions in mucosa• Lined with ____________ epithelium• Tubular glands (cardiac, pyloric, and gastric
glands) open into the pits• Cell types– Addressed shortly . . .

25-11
Tubular glands differ depending on areas.
§ Cell types of the tubular glands1. Mucous cells– secrete mucus, predominate in
the cardiac and pyloric glands
2. Regenerative (stem) cells– in the base of the pit and neck of the gland; function—
3. Parietal cells– mostly in the upper half of the gastric gland; secrete hydrochloric acid and intrinsic factor
4. Chief cells– most numerous and only in gastric glands; secrete chymosin and lipase in infancy; _________________ later on
5. Enteroendocrine cells– G cells included 25-12
§ Gastric secretions--HCl• 2-3 L of gastric juice per day--mainly water,
HCl, and pepsin
1. HCl – by parietal cells: Fig. 25.14
– CO2 + water (CAH) H2CO3 HCO3
- + H+
– Chloride shift--HCO3
- exchanges for chloride
ions (Cl-) from the blood plasma– Alkaline tide– during digestion, high-pH blood
2. Functions of HCl:– Activates enzymes—– Kills ingested bacteria– Converts Fe(3+) to Fe(2+)

§ Gastric secretions--Pepsin1. Chief cells secrete a zymogens (inactive
proteins) called pepsinogen
2. Pepsinogen pepsin (by HCl)
3. Functions of the pepsin—A. Digests proteins:
B. Autocatalytic effect of pepsin:– Once pepsin is formed, pepsin can converts
pepsinogen into MORE pepsin.

caused by pepsin and HCl
2. Locations– duodenum most common, also in _______________________
3. Causes– mucosal defense is compromised; hypersecretion of acid/pepsin, Helicobacter pylori (bacterium), smoking, use of aspirin
4. Treatments-- Cimetidine (H2 blocker on parietal cells); antibiotics against Helicobacter (better)

I. Stomach—D. Regulation of the gastric
function
25-24
§ Regulation of Gastric function• Three phases— overlap each other and all
three can occur simultaneously
1. Cephalic phase– being controlled by the brain
2. Gastric phase– being controlled by the stomach
3. Intestinal phase– being controlled by the small intestine
25-25
§ Regulation of Gastric function• The cephalic phase– the stomach
responds to sight, smell, taste, or thought of food.
• Details– A. mental inputs converge on the
hypothalamus, to the medulla oblongata
B. vagus nerve fibers from medulla innervate the stomach to stimulate gastric activity.
• Fig. 25.17
25-26
25-27
§ Regulation of Gastric function• The gastric phase– swallowed food
activate gastric activity
Details– Presence of food/proteins A. Stretching– via a long vagovagal reflex and a short
myenteric reflex
B. Through chemicals—Ach, gastrin, histamin– On parietal cells (by Ach, gastrin, histamin)- to
secrete HCl– On chief cells (by Ach and gastrin)– pepsinogen– Digested protein: stimulates the G cells secrete even
more gastrin

§ Regulation of Gastric function• The intestinal– duodenum responds to
_______ and moderates gastric activity
Details– • Initially enhances gastric secretion• Soon, acid and semidigested fats trigger the
enterogastric reflex– to: – Inhibit vagal nuclei– Stimulate sympathetic neurons– Secretin and cholecystokinin inhibit gastric
activity

– Path of pancreatic juice: through either main or accessory pancreatic ducts
25-47
§ The exocrine secretions of the pancreas
1. Zymogens– trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, and procarboxypeptidase (all digest proteins)
