Structure of Stomach Wall
OUTER SEROUS LAYER Formed By Peritoneum
MUSCULAR LAYER – Smooth Muscle 1. Inner Oblique
2. Middle Circular
3. Outer Longitudinal Layers
Sub Mucus Layer Areolar Tissue , Blood Vessels, Lymph
Vessels and Meissner Nerve
Plexus
Inner Muscus layer Formed by Mucus Secreting
Columnar Epithelial Cells.
The Gastric Glands are situated in this
layer
1. Fundic glands or main gastric
glands or oxyntic glands
2. Pyloric glands
3. Cardiac glands
Structure Of Gastric Glands
Fundic glands are considered as the typical gastric
glands. These glands are long and tubular.
Each gland has three parts, viz. body, neck and isthmus.
Cells of fundic glands
1. Chief cells or pepsinogen cells
2. Parietal cells or oxyntic cells
3. Mucus neck cells
4. Enterochromaffin (EC) cells
5. Enterochromaffin like (ECL) cells.
Pyloric Glands
Pyloric glands are short and tortuous in nature. These glands are formed by G cells,
mucus cells, EC cells and ECL cells.
Cardiac Glands
Cardiac glands are also short and tortuous in structure, with many mucus cells. EC
cells, ECL cells and chief cells are also present in the cardiac glands
Enteroendocrine Cells
Enteroendocrine cells are the hormone secreting cells present in the glands or mucosa
of gastrointestinal tract, particularly stomach and intestine.
The enteroendocrine cells present in gastric glands are G cells, EC cells and ECL cells
PROPERTIES OF GASTRIC JUICE
Volume : 1200 mL/day to 1500 mL/day.
Reaction : Gastric juice is highly acidic with a pH
of 0.9 to 1.2.
Acidity of gastric juice is due to the presence of
hydrochloric acid.
Specific gravity : 1.002 to 1.004
Secretion of Gastric Juice
SECRETION OF PEPSINOGEN
Pepsinogen is synthesized from amino acids in the ribosomes
attached to endoplasmic reticulum in chief cells.
Pepsinogen molecules are packed into zymogen granules by Golgi
apparatus.
When zymogen granule is secreted into stomach from chief cells, the
granule is dissolved and pepsinogen is released into gastric juice.
Pepsinogen is activated into pepsin by hydrochloric acid.
Secretion of Hydrochloric Acid
◦ According to Davenport theory,
hydrochloric acid secretion is an
active process that takes place
in the canaliculi of parietal
cells in gastric glands.
The energy for this process is
derived from oxidation of
glucose.
◦ CO2 + H2O + NaCl → HCl + NaHCO3
Regulation of Gastric
Secretion
CONTROL OF GASTRIC ACID SECRETION
CEPHALIC PHASE
Secretion of gastric juice by the stimuli arising from head region
(Cephalus) is called cephalic phase which is regulated by nervous mechanism.
GASTRIC PHASE
◦ Secretion of gastric juice when food enters the stomach is called
gastric phase.
◦ This phase is regulated by both nervous and hormonal control.
◦ Gastric juice secreted during this phase is rich in pepsinogen and
hydrochloric acid.
◦ Mechanisms involved in gastric phase are:
1. Nervous mechanism through LOCAL MYENTERIC REFLEX AND
VAGOVAGAL REFLEX
2. Hormonal mechanism through GASTRIN
Stimuli, which initiate these two mechanisms are:
• Distention of stomach
• Mechanical stimulation of gastric mucosa by bulk of food
• Chemical stimulation of gastric mucosa by the food contents.
NERVOUS MECHANISM
LOCAL MYENTERIC REFLEX
◦ Local myenteric reflex is the reflex elicited
by stimulation of MYENTERIC NERVE
PLEXUS in stomach wall. After entering
stomach, the food particles stimulate the
local nerve plexus present in the wall of the
stomach.
◦ These nerve fibers release ACETYLCHOLINE,
which stimulates the gastric glands to secrete
a large quantity of gastric juice.
◦ Simultaneously, acetylcholine stimulates G
cells to secrete gastrin
VAGOVAGAL REFLEX
AFFERENT AND EFFERENT VAGAL fibers.
HORMONE MECHANISM
Gastrin is a gastrointestinal hormone secreted by the G cells which are present in
the pyloric glands of stomach.
Small amount of gastrin is also secreted in mucosa of upper small intestine. In fetus,
it is also secreted by islets of Langerhans in pancreas.
Gastrin is released when food enters stomach.
Mechanism involved in the release of gastrin may be the local nervous reflex or
vagovagal reflex.
 Nerve endings release the neurotransmitter called gastrin releasing peptide, which
stimulates the G cells to secrete gastrin.
◦ Actions of Gastrin on gastric secretion :
Gastrin stimulates the secretion of pepsinogen and hydrochloric
acid by the gastric glands.
◦ Other Actions as follows :
i. Stimulates gastric glands to secrete gastric juice with more pepsin and hydrochloric
acid.
ii. Accelerates gastric motility.
iii. Promotes growth of gastric mucosa.
iv. Stimulates secretion of pancreatic juice, which is rich in enzymes.
v. Stimulates islets of Langerhans in pancreas to release pancreatic hormones.
INTESTINAL PHASE
◦ Intestinal phase is the secretion of gastric juice when chyme
enters the intestine .
There are two intestinal Phase : Initial Stage and Later
Stage.
INITIAL STAGE OF INTESTINAL PHASE
◦ Chyme that enters the intestine stimulates the duodenal mucosa to
release gastrin, which is transported to stomach by blood. There it
increases gastric secretion.
LAST STAGEOF INT EST INAL PHASE
1. Enterogastric reflex
Enterogastric reflex inhibits the gastric secretion and motility. It is due to the
distention of intestinal mucosa by chyme or chemical or osmotic irritation of
intestinal mucosa by chemical substances in the chyme. It is mediated by
myenteric nerve (Auerbach) plexus and vagus.
2. Gastrointestinal hormones
Presence of chyme in the intestine stimulates the secretion of many GI hormones
from intestinal mucosa and other structures. All these hormones inhibit the gastric
secretion. Some of these hormones inhibit the gastric motility also.
GI hormones which inhibit gastric secretion:
i. Secretin: Secreted by the presence of acid chyme in the intestine
ii. Cholecystokinin: Secreted by the presence of chyme containing fats and amino
acids in intestine
iii. Gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP): Secreted by the presence of chyme containing
glucose and fats in the intestine
iv. Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP): Secreted by the presence of acidic
chyme in intestine
v. Peptide YY: Secreted by the presence of fatty chyme in intestine.
