Answers and Explanations
1.the answer is d [II C 1]. Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a gastrointestinal (GI) neurocrine that causes relaxation of GI smooth muscle. For example, VIP mediates the relaxation response of the lower esophageal sphincter when a bolus of food approaches it, allowing passage of the bolus into the stomach.
2.the answer is B [IV B 1; Table 6.3; Figure 6.7]. Intrinsic factor is secreted by the parietal cells of the gastric fundus (as is HCl). It is absorbed, with vitamin B12, in the ileum.
3.the answer is B [V D 4 c]. Cholera toxin activates adenylate cyclase and increases cyclic
adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in the intestinal crypt cells. In the crypt cells, cAMP activates the Cl−-secretory channels and produces a primary secretion of Cl− with Na+ and H2O following.
4.the answer is d [II A 2]. The two hormones have five identical amino acids at the C terminus. Biologic activity of cholecystokinin (CCK) is associated with the seven C-terminal
amino acids, and biologic activity of gastrin is associated with the four C-terminal amino acids. Because this CCK heptapeptide contains the five common amino acids, it is logical that CCK should have some gastrin-like properties. G cells secrete gastrin. I cells secrete CCK. The secretin family includes glucagon.
5.the answer is d [V A–C; Table 6.4]. Fructose is the only monosaccharide that is not absorbed by Na+-dependent cotransport; it is transported by facilitated diffusion. Amino acids are absorbed by Na+-dependent cotransport, but oligopeptides (larger peptide units) are not. Triglycerides are not absorbed without further digestion. The products of lipid digestion, such as fatty acids, are absorbed by simple diffusion.
6.the answer is c [IV D 4]. Ileal resection removes the portion of the small intestine that normally transports bile acids from the lumen of the gut and recirculates them to the liver. Because this process maintains the bile acid pool, new synthesis of bile acids is needed only to replace those bile acids that are lost in the feces. With ileal resection, most of the bile acids secreted are excreted in the feces, and the liver pool is significantly diminished. Bile acids are needed for micelle formation in the intestinal lumen to solubilize the products of lipid digestion so that they can be absorbed. Chylomicrons are formed within the intestinal epithelial cells and are transported to lymph vessels.
7.the answer is a [II A 2 a; Table 6.1]. Cholecystokinin (CCK) inhibits gastric emptying and therefore helps to slow the delivery of food from the stomach to the intestine during
periods of high digestive activity. CCK stimulates both functions of the exocrine pancreas—
HCO3− secretion and digestive enzyme secretion. It also stimulates the delivery of bile from the gallbladder to the small intestinal lumen by causing contraction of the gallbladder while relaxing the sphincter of Oddi.
8.the answer is c [III C 1]. “Receptive relaxation” of the orad region of the stomach is initiated when food enters the stomach from the esophagus. This parasympathetic (vagovagal) reflex is abolished by vagotomy.
9.the answer is B [II A 1; Table 6.1]. Gastrin's principal physiologic action is to increase H+ secretion. H+ secretion decreases the pH of the stomach contents. The decreased pH, in turn, inhibits further secretion of gastrin—a classic example of negative feedback.
10.the answer is a [II A 1 b; Table 6.3; Figure 6.7]. Gastrin is secreted by the G cells of the gastric antrum. HCl and intrinsic factor are secreted by the fundus.
