NURS 8022 Advanced Pathophysiology Exam 4 Study Guide GI Basics of gastric secretion; what cells secrete what  Gastric juice composition depends on volume & flow rate. Secretion rate lower in AM, higher in PM. Higher K+ in gastric juices.  Inc. gastric emptying – larger volumes of food  Delayed gastric emptying – solids, fats, non-isotonic solutions  Acid – hydrochloric acid (most important acid) o Dissolves food fibers o Bactericide against swallowed organisms o ...
