  2. Parietal cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parietal_cell

    A canaliculus is an adaptation found on gastric parietal cells. It is a deep infolding, or little channel, which serves to increase the surface area, e.g. for secretion. The parietal cell membrane is dynamic; the numbers of canaliculi rise and fall according to secretory n

  3. Gastric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastric_acid

    Determinants of gastric acid secretion. Gastric acid or stomach acid is the acidic component – hydrochloric acid of gastric juice, produced by parietal cells in the gastric glands of the stomach lining. In humans, the pH is between one and three, much lower than most other animals, but is very similar to that of carrion eating carnivores ...

  4. Phases of digestion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phases_of_digestion

    Gastric activity involved in digestion is divided into three phases of digestion known as the cephalic phase, the gastric phase, and the intestinal phase. These phases overlap and all three can occur simultaneously. [1] A fourth phase of acid secretion is known as the basal state which occurs in the times between meals (interdigestive phase).

  5. Alkaline tide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkaline_tide

    The alkaline tide is neutralised by the secretion of H + into the blood during HCO 3 − secretion in the pancreas. [2] Postprandial (i.e., after a meal) alkaline tide lasts until the acids in food absorbed in the small intestine reunite with the bicarbonate that was produced when the food was in the stomach. Thus, the alkaline tide is self ...

  6. Gastrointestinal physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrointestinal_physiology

    H + is pumped into the stomach by exchanging it with K +. This process also requires ATP as a source of energy; however, Cl − then follows the positive charge in the H + through an open apical channel protein. HCO 3 − secretion occurs to neutralize the acid secretions that make their way into the duodenum of the small intestine.

  7. Digestion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digestion

    As protein enters the stomach, it binds to hydrogen ions, which raises the pH of the stomach. Inhibition of gastrin and gastric acid secretion is lifted. This triggers G cells to release gastrin, which in turn stimulates parietal cells to secrete gastric acid. Gastric acid is about 0.5% hydrochloric acid, which lowers the pH to the desired pH ...

  8. Gastrinoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrinoma

    The primary function of gastrin is to induce the release of hydrochloric acid (HCl) from the parietal cells located in the fundus of the stomach. Parietal cells are responsible for hydrochloric (HCl) secretion along with intrinsic factor that binds to vitamin B 12 and helps with its uptake in the terminal ileum. Other functions of gastrin ...
