Q

Waist circumference is measured at the level of the (blank)

17
Q

G cells, or gastrin secreting cells, are located in the antral and pyloric regions of the stomach. Gastrin potentiates the release of (blank) from parietal cells

18
Q

(blank) glands in the fundus of the stomach release gastric acid, pepsinogen, and thick mucous secretions

19
Q

Gastric ulcers are mainly the consequence of this bacteria in the stomach

20
Q

(blank) bile acids are produced by the actions of microorganisms in the lumen of the GI tract

21
Q

Bile is concentrated in the gall bladder by the absorption of these three things

A

Na+, Cl-, and water

22
Q

Approximately (blank) percent of vagal fibers are afferent

23
Q

Distortion of the gut mesentary can activate (blank) nociceptive afferent fibers.

24
Q

Many (blank) afferent nerves are likely to be nociceptive.

25
Leptin deficiency is inherited in an autosomal (blank) manner, causes hypogodism, but has normal resting energy expenditure
recessive
26
Asian with a BMI greater than (blank) is "obese"

27
At low gastric secretion rates, parietal cells produce a secretion high in NaCl ions. (blank) acid production increases as gastric secretion increases.
HCl
28
Increase in acid production during digestion causes a (blank) tide as the blood pH becomes more basic
Akaline tide
29
An active H+/K+ ATPase on the (blank) side of the parietal cell pumps out H+ into the stomach lumen of the oxyntic glands.

The origin of the H+ ions is thought to arise from the dissociation of (blank) in the parietal cell.
