Which of the following is true concerning the pharmacologic regulation of acid secretion?

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) exert their effect at a final common pathway of acid secretion.

H2 blockers inhibit the release of histamine from the enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells.

PPIs function as reversible receptor antagonists.

H2 blockers have a more prolonged inhibition of gastric acid secretion than do PPIs.

C. The right inferior laryngeal nerve is nonrecurrent in 0.5%–1% of patients.

D. The RLNs innervate the true vocal cords and the cricothyroid muscles.

E. The medial branch of the RLN is primarily sensory.

A. Iodine trapping involves endocytosis of circulating iodine particles

B. In the euthyroid state, Triiodothyronine (T3) is the main hormone produced by the thyroid.

C. Thyroid peroxidase is responsible for the peripheral conversion of T4 to thyroxine (T3).
