5 0

Answer:

(B). H⁺/K⁺ ATPase.

Explanation:

H⁺/K⁺ ATPase (or hydrogen-potassium pump) is a proton pump, present in parietal cells of stomach. The main function of hydrogen-potassium pump is to acidify the contents of stomach and to activate pepsin (a digestive enzyme).

It helps in gastric acid formation releasing hydrogen ions to the lumen with exchange of potassium ions.

Gastric acid reflux represents a condition, in which stomach acid comes up to the esophagus from stomach. Hence, one way to treat gastric acid reflux is to inhibit H⁺/K⁺ ATPase that would decrease synthesis of gastric acid in stomach.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C- somatosensory cortex located in the parietal lobe.

Explanation:

The somatosensory pathway is the ascending pathway of neurons that transmits the signals from the body to the brain. It begins with the first-order neuron in which the action potential is generated in the response to the stimulus. This first-order neuron transmits the signals to second-order neurons in the dorsal root ganglion.

The second-order neurons transmit the signals from the primary neurons to the third-order neurons in the thalamus which further transmits the signals to the "postcentral gyrus of the somatosensory cortex present in the parietal lobe."

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
