HPHY 325 Exam 2 Questions With
Correct Answers

Function of serotonin - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-stomach muscle
| | | | | | |



contraction


Function of histamine - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-stimulates HCl secretion
| | | | | | |




Function of gastrin - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-stimulates HCl secretion
| | | | | | |




Somatostatin - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Inhibits HCl secretion
| | | | |




Function of gastric enteroendocrine cells - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
| | | | | | |



secrete hormones, regulate digestive activity
| | | |




When your mouth waters because you are thinking about your favorite
| | | | | | | | | | |



food which phase of gastric secretion is being activated? - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | |



ANSWER✔✔-cephalic phase |




Phase of gastric secretion stimulated by seeing, smelling, tasting, or
| | | | | | | | | |



thinking of food - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-cephalic
| | | | |

,Phase of gastric secretion stimulated by the presence of food in the
| | | | | | | | | | | |



stomach - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-gastric
| | |




Phase of gastric secretion stimulated by the presence of chyme in the
| | | | | | | | | | | |



duodenum - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-intestinal| | |




What neurotransmitter does the vagus nerve release? - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | |



ANSWER✔✔-acetylcholine


How is acid secretion increased in the cephalic phase of gastric
| | | | | | | | | | |



secretion? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Stimulus: See, smell, taste, think of
| | | | | | | | |



food
Stimulates vagus nerve, which stimulates gastric enteroendocrine cells,
| | | | | | | |



increasing gastrin and histamine while decreasing somatostatin.
| | | | | | |



Acetylcholine also acts directly on parietal cells. All of these effects lead
| | | | | | | | | | | |



to increased secretion of HCl from parietal cells.
| | | | | | |




Phase of gastric secretion:
| | |




Before food enters stomach.
| | |




Prepares stomach to receive food.
| | | |




Increases secretion of HCl.
| | |




Duration: A few minutes - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Cephalic
| | | | | |

,How is acid secretion increased in the gastric phase of stomach acid
| | | | | | | | | | | |



secretion? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Food enters the stomach and
| | | | | | | |



stimulates the vagus nerve, which stimulates gastric enteroendocrine
| | | | | | | |



cells, increasing the release of gastrin and histamine, while inhibiting
| | | | | | | | | |



the release of somatostatin. Gastrin also leads to partially digested
| | | | | | | | | |



proteins that also stimulate gastric enteroendocrine cells to modulate
| | | | | | | | |



hormone release (positive feedback). Gastrin release is also stimulated
| | | | | | | | |



by caffeine and rising pH. All of these hormones, and Ach directly, act on
| | | | | | | | | | | | |



parietal cells to increase HCl in the stomach.
| | | | | | | |




Phase of gastric secretion:
| | |




Stimulated by distention of the stomach (Stretch receptors) -->
| | | | | | | |



Long/short reflexes.
| |




Also stimulated by partially digested proteins, caffeine, increased pH
| | | | | | | | |



(chemoreceptors) --> gastrin (G cells). | | | |




Inhibited by low pH (decreased release of gastrin, somatostatin release).
| | | | | | | | |




Also inhibited by anything triggering SNS.
| | | | |




Lasts about 3-4 hours. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-gastric
| | | | | |




List 4 things that stimulate the release of gastrin - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | |



ANSWER✔✔-Ach, caffeine, rising pH (presence of food/protein), | | | | | | |



partially digested protein | |

, List two ways that acid secretion is inhibited - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
| | | | | | | | | |



low pH (inhibits gastrin secretion, stimulates release of somatostatin),
| | | | | | | | |



increased SNS |




How is HCl secretion increased in the intestinal phase of gastric
| | | | | | | | | | |



secretion? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Stimulated by chyme entering the
| | | | | | | |



duodenum, which stimulates intestinal enteroendocrine cells,
| | | | | |



increasing intestinal gastrin, which stimulates parietal cells. Parietal cells
| | | | | | | |



|release HCl. |




Phase of gastric secretion:
| | |




When chyme enters the duodenum (distention/partially digested food).
| | | | | | |




Brief stimulation, then inhibition of gastric secretion. - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | |



ANSWER✔✔-intestinal


How is HCl secretion decreased in the intestinal phase of gastric
| | | | | | | | | | |



secretion? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-(stimulated by chyme in the
| | | | | | | |



duodenum-- distention and fatty/acidic/hypertonic chyme) | | | | |



Enterogastric reflex (increased SNS, decreased vagus nerve, decreased
| | | | | | | |



ENS), enteroendocrine cells (increased secretin and CCK)
| | | | | |




True or false: The same stimuli and effectors that cause a decrease in
| | | | | | | | | | | | |



secretion from the stomach also decrease stomach contraction and the
| | | | | | | | | |



rate of stomach emptying - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-true
| | | | | |
