Explain why someone who has hypergastrinemia (excessive secretion of gastrin) might develop gastric/stomach ulcers. Your Answer: Gastrin stimulates the secretaion of pepsinogenes and HCL. If it is excess amounr that means it would be lead to erosion of the stomach. Gastrin stimulates the secretions of pepsinogens and hydrochloric acid. Excess amounts would lead to erosion of the stomach lining. Explain in detail how the stomach contents enter the small intestine. Your Answer: There is the pyloric sphincter at thebase of stomach. Therefore, this valve relaxes causing a small quantity of chyme to pass the opening into the first part of small intestine. And then, this initiates a reflex. That is why the muscles of the sphincter to contrcat and close the openinf temporarily. After sphincter relaxes again and it allows more chyme to enter. The pyloric sphincter (valve), located at the base of the stomach, relaxes causing a small quantity of chyme to pass through the opening into the first part of the small intestine. This initiates a reflex that causes the muscles of the sphincter to contract and close the opening temporarily. Then the sphincter relaxes again and allows more chyme to enter.

Look carefully at the diagram below. Label the following 5 organs of the digestive system. To receive credit for the intestines you must label the specific region.
Question 3
10 / 10 pts
7: Jejenum 9: Appendix 10: Rectum 3: Stomach
4: Gallbladder 7: Jejunum (not small intestine) 9: Appendix (not large intestine) 10: Rectum (not large intestine) A patient is experiencing vitamin toxicity. What type of vitamin would be causing this toxicity? Explain your answer. A. Water soluble vitamin B. Fat soluble vitamin C. All of the above Your Answer: Fat soluble vitamin. These vitamins are stored within the body's fat stores making it harder for the body to rid itself of them. Therefore it can cause vitamin toxicity. B. Fat soluble vitamin. Fat soluble vitamins are stored within the body’s fat stores making it harder for the body to rid itself of them. Explain which digestive system functions are carried out by the large intestine. Your Answer: Absorption: Water and electrolytes are reabsorbed and vitamins are absorbed. Defecation ; Feces goes to the rectum

Describe parietal cells and chief cells: name their location, secretions and purposes. Your Answer: Parietal cells located in the wall of stomach body secrete HCL acid, generate a pH of 1.3-3.5. This acidite kills many bacteria. Also, the low pH stops the activity of salivary amylase.Secretion of HCL acis is essential in the activate of pepsin. Chief cells produces pepsinogen. Pepsinogen is secreted by the chief cells in the stomach. HCL acid converts the inactive pepsinogen into the active enzyme pepsin and then it begins breakdown of proteins. The parietal cells (located in the wall of the stomach body) secrete hydrochloric acid, generating a pH of 1.3-3.5. This very acidic pH kills many of the bacteria ingested along with food. In addition, the low pH stops the activity of salivary amylase. The secretion of hydrochloric acid is essential in the activation of pepsin. Chief cells: secrete pepsinogen. Pepsinogen (a pre-enzyme) is secreted by the chief cells in the stomach. Hydrochloric acid converts the inactive pepsinogen (secreted by the chief cells) into the active enzyme pepsin which begins the breakdown of proteins. Match the digestive organ with the one substance it produces: Large intestine Stomach
Question 7
4 / 4 pts Vitamin K Pepsinogen
Small intestine Other Incorrect Match Options:
- Bile
- Salivary amylase
- Trypsin Secretin
The ileocecal valve controls the entrance of chyme into to the small intestine. (It controls the entrance to the large intestine) The gall bladder, teeth, and tongue are considered accessory organs to the digestive system. The alimentary canal is a continuous muscular tube, open at both ends. Question 10

Describe C: The papillae are raised bumps on the tongue. The three types of papillae help to grip food on the tongue: circumvallate, fungiform and filiform. Fungiform papillae contain taste buds. Which of the following statements is true concerning glycolysis? Pyruvic acid are broken down into glucose. Two ATP molecules are formed in first breakdown of glucose.
