21
Q

?:

inflammation of the pancreas

A

pancreatitis

22
Q

?: inflammation of the pancreas due to a blocked duct (usually caused by gallstones)

A

acute pancreatitis

23
Q

chronic pancreatitis

A

inflammation of the pancreas due to alcohol abuse

24
Q

?: the accessory digestive organ that produces plasma proteins, removes bilirubin, makes bile salts, metabolizes alcohol, stores nutrients, and removes toxins

A

Liver

25
Q

?: the substance manufactured in the liver as a result of hemoglobin and cell breakdown

A

Bile

26
Q

?: the cholesterol derivatives that emulsify fat and then are reabsorbed into the blood

A

Bile Salts

27
Q

?: a condition involving the yellowing of the skin and conjunctiva due to deposits of bilirubin from the breakdown of RBCs

A

Jaundice

28
Q

?: the type of jaundice that is caused by obstructed bile ducts by gall stones so that bile cannot drain out of the liver and overflows into the blood

A

Obstructive Jaundice

29
Q

?: the type of jaundice that results from RBCs being broken down in large quantities

A

hemolytic jaundice

30
Q

?: the type of jaundice that results from an immature liver that cannot excrete the bilirubin as quickly as it is formed; common in newborns and treated by UV light exposure

A

physiologic jaundice

31
Q

?: the regulatory mechanisms of secretion stimulated by distension of the digestive wall

A

Mechanoreceptors

32
Q

?:

the regulatory mechanisms of secretion stimulated by the osmolality of chyme

A

osmoreceptors

33
Q

?: the regulatory mechanisms of secretion stimulated by the acidity of chyme

A

chemoreceptors

34
Q

?: the hormone secreted by the stomach that stimulates the release of HCl and pepsinogen and increases intestinal movement

A

Gastrin

35
Q

?: the hormone secreted by the small intestine that stimulates the secretion of bile and pancreatic juice

A

cholecystokin (CCK)

36
Q

?: the hormone secreted by the small intestine that stimulates insulin secretion and inhibits gastric motility and secretion

A

gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP)

37
Q

?: the hormone secreted by the small intestine that helps regulate the pH of the duodenum by inhibiting the secretion of gastric acid and stimulating the production of bicarbonate in the pancreas

A

Secretin

38
Q

?: the phase of gastric secretion initiated when receptors in the head are stimulated by senses

A

Cephalic Phase

39
Q

?: the phase of gastric secretion that begins when food reaches the stomach; the presence of protein increases gastric secretions

A

Gastric phase

40
Q

?: the phase of gastric secretion that is initiated by stimuli in the intestinal tract (distension, acidity, osmolarity, etc.)

A

intestinal phase

41
Q

?: the component of total daily energy expenditure (TDE) that is the amount of energy required to support basic biological functions if the body was at rest all day

A

basal metabolic rate (BMR)

42
Q

?: the component of total daily energy expenditure (TDE) that is the energy required to digestion, absorption, and disposal of nutrients in the food consumed

A

thermic effect of food (TEF)

43
Q

?: the component of total daily energy expenditure (TDE) that is the energy required to digestion, absorption, and disposal of nutrients in the food consumed

A

thermic effect of food (TEF)

44
Q

?: the component of total daily energy expenditure (TEE) that describes the increase in the metabolic rate and energy expenditure during exercise

A

thermic effect of exercise (TEE)

45
Q

?: the amount of energy expelled during all non-exercise activities in one day (chewing gum, fidgeting, etc.)

A

non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT)
