Acid rebound

Answer 1

Reflex response of the stomach to lower than normal acid levels

Question 2

Antacids

Answer 2

a group of inorganic chemicals that neutralize stomach acid

Question 3

Digestive enzymes

Answer 3

Enzymes produced in the GI tract to break down foods into usable nutrients

Question 4

Gastrointestinal protectant

Answer 4

Drug that coats any injured area in stomach to prevent further injury from acid or pepsin

Question 5

Histamine02 antagoints

Answer 5

Drug that blocks H2 receptor sites; used to decrease acid production in the stomach

Question 6

Peptic ulcer

Answer 6

Erosion of the lining of the stomach or duodenum; from imbalance between acid produced and mucous protection

Question 7

Prostaglandin

Answer 7

any one of numerous tissue hormones that have local effects on various systems and organs of body; including vasoconstriction, vasodilation, increased or decreased GI

Question 8

Proton pump inhibitor

Answer 8

Drug that blocks H+,. K+ ATPase enzyme system on secretory surface of gastric parietal cells,

Interfering with final step of acid production and lowering acid levels in stomach

Question 9

Antidiarrheal

Answer 9

Blocks stimulation of GI tract, leading to decreased activity and increased time for absorption of needed nutrients and water

Question 10

Bulk stimulant

Answer 10

Increases in bulk, frequently by osmotic pull of fluid into feces, the increased bulk stretches the GI wall causing stimulation and increased GI movement

Question 11

Carthartic dependence

Answer 11

Overuse of laxatives can lead to the need for strong stimuli to initiate movement in intestines

Question 12

Chemical stimulant

Answer 12

Stimulates the normal GI reflexes by chemically irritating the lining of the GI wall, leading to increased activity in GI tract

Question 13

Constipation

Answer 13

Slower than normal evacuation of large intestine which can result in increased water absorption from feces and lead to impaction

Question 14

Diarrhea

Answer 14

More frequent than normal bowel movements, often fluid-like and watery because not enough time for absorption

Question 15

Lubricant

Answer 15

INcreased viscosity of feces, making it difficult to absorb water from the bolus and easing the movement of bolus through intestines

Question 16

Antiemetic

Answer 16

Blocks hyperactive response of chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) to various stimuli, produces nonbeneficial nausea and vomiting

Question 17

Emetic

Answer 17

Used to induce vomiting to rid the stomach of toxins or drugs

Question 18

Intractable hiccough

Answer 18

Repetitive stimulation of diaphragm that leads to hiccough (a spasm)

Question 19

Phenothiazine

Answer 19

antianxiety drug that blocks responsiveness of CTZ to stimuli, leading to decrease in nausea and vomit

Question 20

Photosensitivity

Answer 20

Hypersensitive reaction to the sun or ultraviolet light. Can lead to sever skin rash and lesions, damage eye
