| pump-oxygenator | A machine that does the work both of the heart (pump blood) and the lungs (oxygenate the blood). Used, for example, in open heart surgery. Blood returning to the heart is diverted through the machine before returning it to the arterial circulation. Also called a heart-lung machine. (12 Dec 1998) |

| hydrogen pump | Molecular mechanism for acid secretion from gastric parietal cells based on the activity of a H+-K+-ATPase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sodium-potassium pump | A membrane-bound transporter that maintains the high potassium and low sodium intracellular concentrations relative to the extracellular medium. This exchange is accomplished at the expense of cellular energy in the form of ATP. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sodium pump | <enzyme> A major transport protein of the plasma membrane. A multi unit enzyme, it moves 3 sodium ions out of the cell and 2 potassium ions in, for each ATP hydrolysed. The sodium gradient established is used for several purposes (see facilitated diffusion, action potential), while the potassium gradient is dissipated through the potassium leak channel. Must not be confused with a sodium channel. (18 Nov 1997) |
| sprengel pump | <physics> A form of air pump in which exhaustion is produced by a stream of mercury running down a narrow tube, in the manner of an aspirator; named from the inventor. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| stomach pump | An apparatus for removing the contents of the stomach by means of suction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dental pump | saliva ejector |
| insulin pump | A device that delivers a continuous supply of insulin into the body. The insulin flows from the pump through a plastic tube that is connected to a needle inserted into the body and taped in place. Insulin is delivered at two rates: a low, steady rate (called the basal rate) for continuous day-long coverage, and extra boosts of insulin (called bolus doses) to cover meals or when extra insulin is needed. The pump runs on batteries and can be worn clipped to a belt or carried in a pocket. It is used by people with insulin-dependent diabetes. (09 Oct 1997) |
| intra-aortic balloon pump | <cardiology, equipment> A device which is threaded into the aorta that augments the strength of the hearts contraction. The counter pulsation, produced by the inflation of a balloon within the aorta, provides an rhythmic increase in aortic pressures. The net effect is an increase in coronary artery blood flow. Intra-aortic balloon pump is a temporary lifesaving measure that is used to treat severe cardiac damage due to a massive heart attack. (27 Sep 1997) |
| ion pump | A membranal complex of proteins that is capable of transporting ions against a concentration gradient using the energy from ATP. (05 Mar 2000) |
| electrogenic pump | <physiology> Ion pump that generates net charge flow as a result of its activity. The sodium potassium exchange pump transports two potassium ions inward across the cell membrane for each three sodiums transported outward. This produces a net outward current that contributes to the internal negativity of the cell. (05 Jan 1998) |
| jet ejector pump | A suction pump in which fluid under high pressure is forced through a nozzle into an abruptly larger tube where a high velocity jet, at a low pressure in accordance with Bernoulli's law, entrains gas or liquid from a side tube opening just beyond the end of the nozzle to create suction; e.g., the pump by which steam is used to evacuate an autoclave, a water aspirator. (05 Mar 2000) |
| force pump | <machinery> A pump having a solid piston, or plunger, for drawing and forcing a liquid, as water, through the valves; in distinction from a pump having a bucket, or valved piston. A pump adapted for delivering water at a considerable height above the pump, or under a considerable pressure; in distinction from one which lifts the water only to the top of the pump or delivers it through a spout.

| Adair-Koshland-Nemethy-Filmer model | <biochemistry, chemistry> A model to explain the allosteric form of cooperativity; in this model, in the absence of ligands, the protein exists in only one conformation; upon binding, the ligand induces a conformational change that may be transmitted to other subunits. Synonym: Adair-Koshland-Nemethy-Filmer model, induced fit model. (05 Mar 2000) |
| additive model | A model in which the combined effect of several factors is the sum of the effects that would be produced by each of the factors in the absence of the others. (05 Mar 2000) |
