2) Chronic; due to chronic inflammation of stomach mucosa due to either --
a) autoimmune, or
b) h pylori - 130What causes acute gastritis?Acidic damage to stomach due to either decrease in mucosal defenses or increase in acid production
- 131Name three defenses to protect the stomach from acid damage and acute gastritis1) Mucin layer produced by foveolar cells
2) blood supply (provides nutrients and picks up leaked acid)
3) bicarbonate secretion by surface epithelium - 132What lines the mucosa of the stomach?Epithelium, called foveolar cells, which produce acid and secrete bicarb to protect the stomach
- 133What cell makes stomach acid?Parietal cells

5. Increased intracranial pressure
6. Shock - 139What is a Curling Ulcer?Ulcer in the stomach as a result of severe burn; hypovolemia after a burn leads to decreased blood supply; so acid can now do damage in stomach
- 140What is a Cushing Ulcer?Ulcer in the stomach as a result of increased intracranial pressure, which stimulates vagus to increase production of ACh, which stimulates parietal cells to produce acid.
- 141How does shock increase risk of acute gastritis?Decreased blood supply in shock

- 150Why does achlorhydia lead to increased gastrin levels?Achlorhydia = low acid production; no neg feedback; Gastrin stimulate parietal cells in body and fundus to produce acid!
- 151Where is B12 absorbed?Terminal ileum
- 152B12 absorption pathwayIntrinsic factor (released by parietal cells) binds B12; B12 transported to terminal ileum where it is absorbed

- 173What is the most common cause and other less common causes of gastric PUD?H pylori (75% compared to 95% in duodenum)
Other causes include NSAIDs and bile reflux - 174How do gastric ulcers in PUD usually present?1. Epigastric pain that WORSENS with meals
2. Ulcer in lesser curvature of antrum [distal stomach -- so 10% of PUD ulcers are gastric ulcers, other 90% are duodenal ulcers]
3. Rupture leads to bleed of left gastric artery - 175PUD: epigastric pain that worsens or improves with mealsWorsens: [distal stomach] gastric PUD
Improves: [proximal duodenum] duodenal PUD - 176Bleeding from gastroduodenal artery vs. bleeding from left gastric arteryGastroduodenal artery = proximal posterior duodenal PUD rupture
Left gastric artery = distal stomach gastric PUD rupture - 177What is included in ddx of PUD?Carcinoma; more often from gastric ulcers than duodenal ulcers; duodenal carcinoma is very rare, hence duodenal ulcers area almost never malignant. gastric ulcers can be caused by gastric carcinoma - intestinal subtype
