Peptic ulcer


Bicarbonate + mucous→Gel-like layer protecting the mucosa from the gastric juice.
Control of acid secretion:
1-Gastrin: peptide hormone synthesized in endocrine cells of stomach and duodenum. It stimulates acid secretion and blocked by Proglumide.
Excessive gastrin secretin resulted from tumors of gastrin-secreting cells(Gastrinomas= Zollinger Ellison Syndrome (ZES)
2-Acetylcholine: it increased acid secretion by stimulation muscrinic receptor on parietal cells(M3).
Peptic and duodenal ulcer:
This disease occurs either in the stomach or in the duodenum. The etiology of the disease is unknown, but there are two main factors important for its production:
1-Excessive acid & pepsin secretion and/or
2-Decreased mucosal resistance to attack by acid and pepsin.
