any one of numerous tissue hormones that have local effects on various systems and organs of the body, including vasoconstriction, vasodilation, increased or decreased GI activity, and increased or decreased pancreatic enzyme release.

proton pump inhibitor

drug that blocks the H+, K+-ATPase enzyme system on the secretory surface of the gastric parietal cells, thus interfering with the final step of acid production and lowering acid levels in the stomach

histamine-2 (H2) antagonist

drug that blocks the H2 receptor sites; used to decreased acid production in the stomach (H2 sites are stimulated to cause the release of acid from the parietal cells in response to gastrin or parasympathetic stimulation)

gastrointestinal protectant

drug that coats any injured area in the stomach to prevent further injury from acid or pepsin

digestive enzymes

enzymes produced in the gastrointestinal tract to break down foods into usable nutrients

peptic ulcer

erosion of the lining of the stomach or duodenum; results from imbalance b/w acid produced and the mucous protection of the GI lining or possibly from infection by H. pylori bacteria.

antacids

group of inorganic chemicals that neutralize stomach acid

acid rebound

reflex response of the stomach to lower-than-normal acid levels; when acid levels are lowered through the use of antacids, gastrin production and secretion are increased to return the stomach to its normal acidity
