Parietal cell – secretes HCl in response to gastrin
Chief cell – secretes pepsinogen->pepsin, which cuts proteins
Mucus cells – secrete mucus

Parietal cells up close
To note: H+ is pumped via H+/K+ cotransporter“H+/K+ ATPase”
Cl- follows due to charge
K+ leak channels
CO2+H20H2CO3 provides more H+
HCO3- (bicarbonate) gets exchanged for more Cl- from blood

Question 49Some glucose enters microvilli epithelial cells via the SGLUT1 symporter, located on the apical surface, which allows Na+ flowing down its concentration gradient to pull glucose along with it via secondary active transport. The correct cytoplasmic Na+ concentration is maintained by Na+/K+ pumps on the basolateral membrane, pumping ions into/out of the blood. If the Na+/K+ pumps stopped working, you would expect:a) An increase in cytoplasmic glucoseb) A decrease in cytoplasmic sodiumc) An increase the transport of glucosed) An increase in cytoplasmic sodiume) More than one of the above

Question 50While the SGLUT1 symporter is responsible for only a small portion of the glucose absorbed across the brush border, it is responsible for most of the sodium absorbed in the jejunum. In case of prolonged diarrhea (which causes loss of both water and sodium), it’s better to drink Gatorade than just water, or salt water. Why?
a) It’s the Thirst Quencherb) The artificial dyes helpc) Drinking pure water could lead to a dangerous state of
hyponatremiad) The presence of glucose will allow more sodium to be
absorbede) More than one of the above.

Cholera Question In the epithelial cells of the small intestine , there are “CFTR” transmembrane proteins, which, when activated, pump Cl- into the intestinal lumen, dragging Na+ along. Cholera (a bacteria), upon establishing itself in the small intestine, causes a cascade of events which eventually hyperactivates the CFTR pumps. An expected sign of cholera infection would probably be:
a) High blood pressureb) Dehydrationc) Decreased release of renin by the macula
densad) decreased blood glucose levelse) None of the above

Question 51
In the 70s, Procter and Gamble invented the food additive Olestra, which consists of sucrose with 8 ester linkages to fatty acids. While Olestra has a similar taste and “mouth feel” to normal triglycerides, it was found to have zero calories, making it seem like a very promising product! Why did Olestra have zero calories?a) It couldn’t be used in the TCA, since the TCA enzymes
could not break it down into acetyl groups to add to coAb) It couldn’t be stored in adipocytes, without the correct
carrier proteinc) It couldn’t be absorbed into the intestinal endothelial cellsd) It was insoluble in the lactealse) It couldn’t form chylomicrons.

Also:
-since it doesn’t get absorbed – it lubricates the intestines and causes diarrhea -and chelates fat soluble vitamins

Question 56 In all animal cells, there are Na+/K+ pumps, which pump out 3 Na+ ions and pump in 2 K+ ions. Most cells also have potassium leak channels, which let the K+ ions gradually go back out. In Beta cells, the leak channels are special, and are actually inhibited (closed) by high levels of ATP. Other channels, called L-type Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels, when opened, allow Ca2+ to rush into the cell, which in turn causes insulin-filled vesicles to exocytose into the blood stream.What triggers the Calcium channels to open?a) More (-) voltage: when glucose levels are low, the beta cells
should excrete insulinb) More (+) voltage: when glucose levels are high, the beta cells
should excrete insulinc) More (-) voltage: when glucose levels are high, the beta cells

Question 59 Eskimos traditionally lived their entire lives above the arctic circle, where there was no vegetation, and consequently had extremely lowcarb diets. Most of their food was whale or seal blubber (fat). In such conditions, we would expect for:
a) Oxidative phosphorylation and the TCA cycle to stop, and for pyruvate to be reduced in fermentation.
b) Blood insulin levels to be elevatedc) Fatty acids and proteins to be cleaved and sent directly to the
electron transport chain for oxidative phosphorylationd) Blood glucose levels to be elevatede) Fatty acids and amino acids to be cleaved and sent to the TCA

Question 61 Alpha cells (which secrete glucagon) have the same type of ATP-inactivated potassium channels as beta cells, but they have calcium channels of a different kind (called “T-type calcium channels”. We expect them to open in response to what type of stimulus?
a) High ATP concentrationb) High potassium concentrationc) More (+) voltaged) More (-) voltagee) More than one of the above

“Delayed Rectifier Potassium channel”(opens when membrane potential isPositive -> allows K+ to flow out, returningMembrane potential to normal level)

Question 62…Voltage gated sodium channels, common in endocrine and brain cells, open when the membrane potential is more positive. How would we expect the structure of such a protein to look like?
a) It could have a domain of amino acids with anionic side chains, which, when moved towards the exterior of the cell, cause the channel to open.
b) It could have a domain of amino acids with anionic side chains, which, when moved towards the interior of the cell, cause the channel to open.
c) It could have a domain of amino acids with cationic side chains, which, when moved towards the exterior of the cell, cause the channel to open.
d) It could have a domain of amino acids with cationic side chains, which, when moved towards the interior of the cell, cause the channel to open.
e) None of the abovef) More than one of the above

If membrane potential is positive -> cytoplasm is positive and extracellular fluid is negative-> cations will move towards exterior-> anions will move towards interior
