Document Content and Description Below

Exposure to which substance protects the mucosal barrier of the stomach? a. Prostaglandins b. Helicobacter pylori c. Aspirin d. Regurgitated bile Prostaglandins.

Sodium b. Potassium c. Phosphate d. Chloride Sodium. Sodium passes through the tight junctions and is actively transported across cell membranes. Sodium and glucose share a common active transport carrier (sodium-glucose ligand transporter 1 [SGLT1]). 3. What is the cause of gastroesophageal reflux disease? a. Excessive production of hydrochloric acid b. Zone of low pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter c. Presence of Helicobacter pylori in the esophagus d.

By what mechanism does intussusception cause an intestinal obstruction? a. Telescoping of part of the intestine into another section of intestine, usually causing strangulation of the blood supply b. Twisting the intestine on its mesenteric pedicle, causing occlusion of the blood supply c. Loss of peristaltic motor activity in the intestine, causing an adynamic ileus d. Forming fibrin and scar tissue that attach to the intestinal omentum, causing obstruction A.
