The liver is responsible for each of the following EXCEPT: Making clotting factors Storing Bile Drug metabolism Stores Glucose Storing bile Risk factors for gallstone formation include each of the following EXCEPT: Obesity Male gender Age (40's) Pregnancy Male sex Predisposing factors that may lead to gastroesophageal reflux include each of the following EXCEPT: Hiatal hernia Pernicious anemia
Pregnancy Incompetent esophageal sphincter Pernicious anemia Clinical presentation of irritable bowel syndrome can include each of the following EXCEPT: Abdominal pain or discomfort for at least 12 weeks duration Pain may be relieved with defecation Constipation or diarrhea may be present Blood in the stool Blood in the stool What are risk factors for the development of peptic ulcer? Aspirin Therapy Pylori infection Stress NSAID use Gastric ulcers are worsened by ________. Duodenal ulcers are worsened by _______. Eating; not eating
(T/F) The GI tract produces both enzymes and hormones True The double layer of peritoneum that holds the organs in place and stores fat is called what? Mesentery A unique feature of the liver is that it has a dual blood supply. (T/F) True What are intermittent contractions that help to mix and move food along? Rhythmic movements Activation of the peripheral nervous system decreases or stops the amplitude of the slow waves. (T/F) False _________ lies between the mucosal and muscle layers of the intestinal wall, and is involved with controlling secretions,
absorption, and contraction of each segment of the intestinal tract. Submucosal (Meissner) plexus Food is converted in the stomach into a creamy mixture called? Chyme What are rhythmic movements. designed to propel the chyme alone the small intestine toward the large intestine? Peristaltic movements What is the purpose of propulsive mass movements? A large segment of the colon contracts as a unit, moving the fecal contents forward. These mass movements last about 30 seconds, followed by a 2-3-minute period of relaxation, then another contraction. This is what triggers the need for a bowel movement. (T/F) Antibiotics should be used to treat all types of diarrhea. False Consistently ignoring the urge to defecate can result in __________.
Abdominal ultrasound Liver damage from cirrhosis, hepatitis, or cancer would cause what type of jaundice? Intrahepatic jaundice The liver is responsible for each of the following EXCEPT: Making clotting factors Stores bile for digestion Drug metabolism Stores glucose Stores bile for digestion Risk factors for gallstone formation include each of the following EXCEPT: Female sex Oral contraceptive use Age (60's) Obesity Age (60's)
Chronic reflux esophagitis can develop each of the following EXCEPT: Peptic ulcers Esophageal strictures Barre esophagus Esophageal adenocarcinoma Peptic ulcers Treatment of irritable bowel syndrome incudes each of the following EXCEPT: Anti-diarrheal medication Stress management Increased fiber intake Avoiding fatty foods Anti-diarrheal medication Risk factors for the development of peptic ulcer are: Aspirin therapy H.pylori infection Stress NSAID use
The process of digestion begins in the stomach and finishes in the large intestine. (T/F) False ________ Is the process of moving nutrient sand other materials from the external environment of the GI tract into the internal environment. Absorption The double layer of peritoneum that holds the organs in place and stores fat is called what? Mesentery What type of cells secrete gastrin? G cells What type of movements have a constant level of contraction or tone without regular periods of relaxation? Tonic movements
Activation of the peripheral nervous system decreases or stops the amplitude of the slow waves. (T/F) False _________ is a linear chain of interconnecting neurons located between the circular and longitudinal muscles layers, involved with GI motility? Myenteric (Auerbach) plexus what is one cause of gastric retention? obstruction, gastric atony, surgery Which GI hormone has strong growth hormone-releasing activity and stimulated food intake and digestive function? Ghrelin What is the purpose of haustral churning? These movements fill and expel contents in the haustra, to ensure all surface area of the fecal mass are exposed to the intestinal surface.
Complications of gallstones include each of the following EXCEPT: Cirrhosis Biliary obstruction Pancreatitis Cholecystitis Cirrhosis Treatments for gastroesophageal reflux include each of the following EXCEPT: Losing weight Sleeping with head elevated Caffeinated beverages Proton pump inhibitors Caffeinated beverages What symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome would require further investigation? Blood in stool Weight loss Anemia

Ileocecal valve The GI tract produces both enzymes and hormones. (T/F)
Submucosal (meissner) plexus What is it called when there is abnormally fast emptying of hyperosmotic gastric secretions? Dumping syndrome Which GI hormone has strong growth hormone-releasing activity and stimulate food intake and digestive function? Ghrelin Which GI hormone inhibits gastric acid secretion? secretin The liver is responsible for each of the following EXCEPT: Making clotting factors Storing Bile Drug metabolism Stores glucose Storing Bile

Peritoneum
A unique feature of the liver is that it has a dual blood supply True What type of movements have a constant level of contraction or tone without regular periods of relaxation? Tonic movements Activation of the parasympathetic nervous system increases the amplitude of the slow waves True ____ is a linear chain of interconnecting neurons located between the circular and longitudinal muscle layers, involved with GI motility? Myenteric (Auerbach) plexus Food is converted in the stomach into a creamy mixture called?
