Questions and Answers

What is the primary function of the K-ATPase (proton pump) in gastric parietal cells?

  • To regulate the pH of the blood
  • To protect the stomach lining from acidity
  • To absorb nutrients from the stomach
  • To transport H+ into the lumen of the stomach (correct)

    • How does the K-ATPase (proton pump) transport H+ ions?

  • With the concentration gradient of K+ ions
  • Against its electrochemical gradient (correct)
  • By using ATP indirectly
  • Through passive diffusion

    • Which cellular component is primarily responsible for the transfer of H+ into the stomach lumen?

  • Mitochondria

    Study Notes

    Nerve Action Potential

    • Net inward current must be greater or equal to net outward current for an action potential to occur.
    • This response is "all-or-none"

    Renal Tubule

    • Tight junctions in the renal distal tubule are impermeable
    • Leaky junctions in the renal proximal tubule and gallbladder are permeable

    Gastric Parietal Cells

    • Use H+, K+-ATPase (proton pump) to transport H+ into the stomach lumen
    • This transport occurs against the electrochemical gradient

    Cardiac Physiology

    • Cardiac Electrophysiology is a key topic
    • Cardiac Muscle and Cardiac Output are also important
    • Cardiac Cycle is also a key topic

    Gastrointestinal Tract

    • Structure and Innervation of the Gastrointestinal Tract is vital
    • Regulatory Substances in the Gastrointestinal Tract is a topic
    • Gastrointestinal Motility is another topic
