Question
Answer
The stomach has 3 primary functions   storing food until it can be processed in the lower GI tract: miking food with gastric secretions until it is a partially digested, semisolid mixture known as chyme: and slowly emptying the stomach at a rate that allows proper digestion and absorption  
🗑
what secretory cells line portions of the stomach   chief, parietal, and mucus cells  
🗑
chief cells secrete   pepsinogen, an inactive enzyme  
🗑
Parietal cells secrete   hydrochloric acid by way of a hydrogen ion pump, which activates pepsinogen to pepsin  
🗑
normal pH of the stomach?   1 to 5, depending on the presence of food and medications  
🗑
mucous cells   secrete mucus, which coats the stomach wall and protects the stomach wall from damage by hydrochloric acid and pepsin  
🗑
Lipases digest?   Fat

🗑
frequent bouts of GERD lead to   inflammation, tissue erosion and ulcerations in the lower esophagus  
🗑
Peptic ulcer disease (PUD)   refers to several stomach disorders that result from an imbalance between acidic stomach contents and the body normal defense barrier causing ulcerations in the GI tract  
🗑
Antacids   lower the acidity of gastric secretions by buffering the hydrochloric acid, are commonly used for heartburn, excessive eating and drinking and PUD  
🗑
