BIOD 151 EXAM FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT VERIFIED ANSWERS | 100% PASS (A+ CERTIFIED) 1. Explain why someone who has hypergastrinemia (excessive secretion of gas- trin) might develop gastric/stomach ulcers Correct Answer Gastrin stimulates the secretions of pepsinogens and hydrochloric acid. Excess amounts would lead to erosion of the stomach lining. 2. Explain in detail how the stomach contents enter the small intestine Correct Answer 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. 3. Be able to label the following Correct Answer Stomach Gallbladder Jejunum (not small intestine) Appendix (not large intestine) Rectum (not large intestine: 4. 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 Correct Answer Fat soluble vitamins are stored within the body's fat stores making it harder for the body to rid itself of them. 5. Explain which digestive system functions are carried out by the large intestine Correct Answer Absorption: In the large intestine water and electrolytes are reabsorbed and vitamins are absorbed. Defecation: Feces travel to the rectum where it is excreted via the anus. 6. Describe parietal cells and chief cells: name their location, secretions and purposes Correct Answer 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 7. Match the digestive organ with the one substance it produces: Large intestine stomach small intestine Vitamine K Secretin Trypsin Salivary amylase Pepsinogen: Large intestine = vitamin K stomach = pepsinogen small intestine = secretin 8. what is the purpose of the hormone leptin Correct Answer decrease hunger, increase satiety 9. Which of the following statements is false? A. Taste buds are located on the surface of the mouth and the wall of the pharynx. B. The ileocecal valve controls the entrance of chyme into to the small intestine. C. The gall bladder, teeth, and tongue are considered accessory organs to the digestive system.
