What cranial nerve controls esophageal peristalsis in swallowing?
vagus (CX)
During the process of swallowing, the:
a. Tongue moves backwards to push the bolus to the palate
b. Hard palate moves upward to close off the nasopharynx
c. Epiglottis slightly elevates to avoid suffocation
d. All of the above are TRUE
a. Tongue moves backwards to push the bolus to the palate
Which of the following will help prevent Gastroesophageal reflux?
a. Dark chocolate squares
b. Shot of whiskey
c. Lean grilled steak
d. Peppermint lollipop
c. Lean grilled steak - protein increases pressure to prevent GERD
During a meal, fundic contractions are used for:
a. Emptying
b. Grinding
c. Mixing
d. Storing
d. Storing - because contractions are tonic only
Mucus and bicarbonate covering the gastric epithelium is DECREASED by:
a. Missing meals
b. Aspirin intake
c. Eating fibrous greens
d. Prostaglandin intake
b. Aspirin intake
What kind of food stimulates secretion of Gastric juices?
a. Protein-rich
b. Sugary
c. Alkaline
d. Watery
a. Protein-rich - food that increases stimulatory event includes PEPTIDES=proteins
The parietal cell secretes more HCl- when:
a. Gastrin stimulates CCK2 receptors
b. Histamine stimulates H2 receptors
c. Acetylcholine stimulates M3 receptors
d. All of the above are true
d. All of the above are true
The vomiting center is located in the _____
Medulla
Gastric emptying time is lengthened most by ingesting:
a. Cooked white rice
b. Diluted skim milk
c. Boiled sweet potato
d. Buttered vegetables
d. Buttered vegetables - something with oil and fiber
The Migrating Myoelectric Complex (MMC):
a. Stimulates gastric, intestinal and pancreatic secretions
b. Moves ingested matter irregularly in an aboral direction
c. Functions without hormonal control mechanism
d. Initiates contractions in 5 phases
a. Stimulates gastric, intestinal and pancreatic secretions
Movement of a 0.6 cm accidentally ingested pebble from the stomach to the ileum occurs during:
a. Peristalsis while eating
b. Phase I of the MMC
c. Segmentation movements
d. Phase III of the MMC
d. Phase III of the MMC - MMC is most intense at this phase
The ileocecal sphincter relaxes when:
a. Pressure increases in the cecum
b. Chemicals in the cecum irritate the mucosa
c. Fluid stool fills the terminal ileum
d. Pressure decreases in the terminal ileum
c. Fluid stool fills the terminal ileum - others (pressure, chemical) will inhibit peristalsis since it will close the cecum
What reflex enhances the aboral movement of intestinal contents?
a. Ileogastric
b. Anointestinal
c. Gastroileal
d. Intestinointestinal
