Q

what do amylase and lipase enzyme digest?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • amylase: carbs

- lipase: lipids

21
Q

General regulation of secretion from pancreas

Study These Flashcards
A
  • PSNS

- 2 intestinal hormones: secretin and CCK

22
Q

PSNS regulation of secretion of the pancreas

Study These Flashcards
A

vagal stimulation causes release of pancreatic secretions during gastric and cephalic phases

23
Q

secretins function in pancreatic regulation of secretion

Study These Flashcards
A
  • secretin is released in response to Hcl in the duodenum

- target duct cell to release watery alkaline juice

24
Q

CCK function in pancreatic regulation of secretion

Study These Flashcards
A
  • released in response to proteinaceous content in duodenum

- targets acini to release enzyme rich pancreatic juice

25
liver anatomy - 3 main parts of the functional unit
- hepatic lobule - hepatic sinusoid - bile canaliculi
26
blood flow to the hepatic sinusoid
- a central vein is fed by a branch of the hepatic portal vein - the hepatic a. also feeds into it - so oxygen rich and nutrient rich blood meet at the sinusoids
27
bile canaliculi
- the liver processes material and makes bile | - it secretes bile via the bile canaliculi to the bile duct
28
hepatocytes
- large, cube, often binucleate | - arranged in sheets of tissue - bathed in mixed blood of sinusoids
29
functions of hepatocytes
- bile production - glycogen metabolism - lipid metabolism - production of plasma proteins - detox - urea production - iron storage
30
Kupffer cells
- macrophages that eat: - debris, aged cells, RBCs, foreign cells - line the sinusoid space - help protect from stuff coming in from the small intestine
31
hepatic stellate cells
- regulate the Kupffer cells via cytokines - line the perisinusoidal space - lipid droplets
32
hepatic portal circulation review
1. splenic v. and superior mesenteric v. drain to hepatic portal v. 2. hepatic portal v. to liver 3. from liver, through hepatic veins to IVC 4. IVC to heart 5. heart through abdominal aorta to proper hepatic a. 6. back to liver
33
What are the various carb metabolism functions of the liver?
- glycogenesis - glycogenolysis - lipogenesis
34
glycogenesis
- production of glycogen - stimulated by insulin - glycogen synthase, glycogen branching enzyme
35
glycogenolysis
- break down of glycogen - stimulated by glucagon - glycogen phospohorylase
36
lipogenesis
-TG formation from glucose
37
What are the various amino acid metabolism functions of the liver?
- gluconeogenesis (from aa) - urea production: deamination of aa produces ammonia - urea cycle - aa production
38
lipolysis by liver
- lipid metabolism in the liver stimulated by glucagon, NE/E, ghrelin - release of FA and glycerol from TG - FFA enter circulation
39
glycerol that is released in lipolysis is used where?
- glycolysis | - gluconeogenesis
40
ketogenesis of liver
- stimulated by low blood sugar and glucagon - occurs in mitochondriion - ketones release by beta oxidation of FA - forms acetyl-CoA and enters TCA
41
ketone bodies formed in ketogenesis enter the circulation as what?
- acetoacetate - acetone - beta-hydroxybuterate
42
fat storage function of the liver
- liver stores lipids and fat-soluble vitamins | - if excessive = fatty liver
43
liver cholesterol metabolism
- the manufacture of cholesterol | - used in bile, lipoproteins, plasma membranes and steroid hormone synthesis
44
liver phospholipid synthesis
- membranes, blood clotting, supply of arachadonic acid for prostaglandin synthesis - synthesized from phosphatidic acid (intermediates in the production of triacylglycerols)
45
What types of protein does the liver produce?
- albumin (mainly) - carrier proteins - coagulation proteins - complement - CRP - apolipoprotein - hormones
46
Describe the detox process of the liver
1. Kupffer cell phagocytosis 2. enzymatic detox: phase 1 and phase 2 3. metabolites of detox eliminated in bile or urine
47
phase 1 of enzymatic liver detox
- Cytochrome P450 - lg group of enzymes - oxidize molecules to less toxic metabolites
48
phase 2 of enzymatic liver detox
- esterification | - often steroid compounds
