A

Food

27
Q

P201

A

Globally inhibits GI function

28
Q

MISCELLANEOUS
What is the purpose of the colon?
P201

A

Reabsorption of H(2)O and storage of stool

29
Q

MISCELLANEOUS
What is the main small
bowel nutritional source?
P201

A

Glutamine

30
Q

MISCELLANEOUS
What is the main nutritional
source of the colon?
P201

A

Butyrate (short-chain fatty acid)

31
Q

MISCELLANEOUS
Where is calcium absorbed?
P201

A

Duodenum actively, jejunum passively

32
Q

MISCELLANEOUS
Where is iron absorbed?
P201

A

Duodenum

33
Q

MISCELLANEOUS
Where is vitamin B12
absorbed?
P201

A

Terminal ileum

34
Q
MISCELLANEOUS
Which hormone primarily
controls gallbladder
contraction?
P201
A

CCK

35
Q
MISCELLANEOUS
What supplement does a
patient need after removal
of the terminal ileum or
stomach?
P201
A

Vitamin B12

36
Q

MISCELLANEOUS
Name the main constituents
of bile.
P202

A

Water, phospholipids (lecithins), bile

acids, cholesterol, and bilirubin

37
Q

MISCELLANEOUS
What are most gallstones made of?
P202

A

Cholesterol

38
Q

MISCELLANEOUS
How do opiates affect the bowel?
P202

A

By stimulating sodium absorption and
inhibiting secretion in the ileum as well as
decreasing GI motility by incoordinated
peristalsis (Therefore, place patients on
stool softeners when dispensing pain
medication)

39
Q
MISCELLANEOUS
Which type of muscle fibers,
smooth or striated, does the
esophagus contain?
P202
A
Both:
Upper third—striated muscle control
    of motor nerves
Middle third—mixed
Lower third—smooth muscle, primarily
    under control of vagal motor fibers
40

Q

MISCELLANEOUS
Which electrolyte does the
colon actively secrete?

the patient to have a normal anion gap
acidosis)

Q

MISCELLANEOUS
Which electrolyte does the
colon passively secrete?
P202

A

K⁺

43
Q

MISCELLANEOUS
What is the gastrocolic reflex?
