<span>Jennifer's physician suspects she may have an ulcer in the _duodenum_, which is the first section of her small intestine.
The small intestine connects directly to the stomach via the pyloric sphincter. A peptic ulcer involves the spilling of very acidic stomach juice into the duodenum, which is the closest portion of the small intestine to the stomach. This can present as epigastric pain (in the upper center abdomen, just below the xiphoid process, or lower portion of the sternum). Usually it is brought on by ingesting acidic or spicy liquids, alcohol, or after going several hours without eating. Those ingestions can ramp up gastric acid production, and having nothing in the stomach allows pure acid to spill into the duodenum, which irritates an already eroded mucosal epithelium. Eating non-acidic, non-spicy foods like bread or milk helps to alleviate the pain by soaking up the acid in the stomach (bread) or neutralizing some of it (milk). But an empty stomach poses the largest risk of irritation. Also the epigastric region hones the pain in on the duodenum, since it crosses midline from the left upper abdomen (stomach) towards the right side as it continues on. If it were acutely painful in only the left upper quadrant (LUQ) of the abdomen, it would almost assuredly be gastritis or a gastric ulcer (gastro- meaning stomach).</span>
1.) C - peptic ulcer. Peptic ulcers are sores that develop in the lining of the stomach, lower esophagus, or small intestine. GERD is a digestive disorder; Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gums; Gastritis is an inflammation of the lining of the stomach.
2.) D - bladder cancer. Smokers are 4 to 7 times more likely to develop bladder cancer than nonsmokers. Alcohol and smoking do not directly cause kidney stones so I guess kidney stones is out of the choices.
3.) C - pharmacological treatment Pharmacotherapy is a general term for using medication to treat disease and reduce or cure illness.
4.) A - A hormone is like an e-mail with instructions from someone’s boss. Hormones are chemicals that coordinate several functions in the body. Hormones are chemical substances that act like messenger molecules in the body.
5.) B - protein. A diet rich in proteins such as eggs, cheese, and whole-wheat products produces urine with an alkaline pH that may result in increased urea production.
6.) B - Fluid levels could not be maintained.
7.) A - oranges. Oranges and broccoli both have high fiber and helps ease constipation. So I'm not really sure which is which.
8.) C - The thyroid is a gland and secretes the hormone. The thyroid gland is part of the endocrine system and lies in front of one's neck and below the Adam's apple.
9.) D- Nephrons restore the substances and water the body needs. Nephrons main functions include regulating the concentration of sodium salts and water by filtering the kidney’s blood, excreting any excess in the urine and reabsorbing the necessary amounts. Nephron return essential substances such as glucose, amino acids, water, and salt to thecapillaries that surround the nephron.
10.) B - kidney stones
