Figure 41.17 The stomach and its secretions Esophagus Cardiac orifice Stomach 5 µm Pyloric sphincter Interior surface of stomach. The interior surface of the stomach wall is highly folded and dotted with pits leading into tubular gastric glands. Small intestine Folds of epithelial tissue Epithelium 3 Pepsinogen 2 HCl Gastric gland. The gastric glands have three types of cells that secrete different components of the gastric juice: mucus cells, chief cells, and parietal cells. Pepsin (active enzyme) 1 2 HCl converts pepsinogen to pepsin. Mucus cells secrete mucus, which lubricates and protects the cells lining the stomach. 3 Pepsin then activates more pepsinogen, starting a chain reaction. Pepsin begins the chemical digestion of proteins. Chief cells secrete pepsinogen, an inactive form of the digestive enzyme pepsin. Parietal cell Parietal cells secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl). 1 Pepsinogen and HCI are secreted into the lumen of the stomach.

Bile salts 2 Digestion of fat by the pancreatic Fat droplets coated with bile salts Micelles made up of fatty acids, monoglycerides, and bile salts enzyme lipase yields free fatty acids and monoglycerides, which then form micelles. 3 Fatty acids and mono- glycerides leave micelles and enter epithelial cells by diffusion. 4 Chylomicrons containing fatty Epithelial cells of small intestine Lacteal substances are transported out of the epithelial cells and into lacteals, where they are carried away from the intestine by lymph.

Liver Enterogastrone Gallbladder Gastrin CCK Stomach Amino acids or fatty acids in the duodenum trigger the release of cholecystokinin (CCK), which stimulates the release of digestive enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the gallbladder. Pancreas Gastrin from the stomach recirculates via the bloodstream back to the stomach, where it stimulates the production of gastric juices. Secretin Duodenum CCK Key Stimulation Inhibition Secreted by the duodenum, secretin stimulates the pancreas to release sodium bicarbonate, which neutralizes acid chyme from the stomach.
