Hello, May I get help with This question? I do not understand it. An explanation leading to the correct answer would be helpful.
Question: Michele M. has gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a common source of chronic pain in the United States. GERD has many causes, but one of its causes is an overproduction of stomach acid. A medical professional suggests to Michele that she manage her GERD by drinking less coffee. Since Michele drinks many cups of coffee a day, she cannot imagine how she'll get by without it, and she comes to you to complain. She says the medical doctor told her that coffee stimulates the release of a hormone called "gastrin", and that she doesn't understand why some hormone would cause her to have so much extra stomach acid. She comes to you for a deeper explanation.
You tell Michele (see image)
Transcribed Image Text:The image contains a list of statements related to the hormone gastrin:
1. "Gastrin is a hormone that inhibits bicarbonate secretion into the duodenum"
2. "YES"
3. "Gastrin is a hormone that causes parietal cells in the lining of her stomach to release acid"
4. "Gastrin is a hormone that inhibits the release of somatostatin"
5. "Her medical doctor is wrong, and she should keep drinking 10 cups a day"
The statements primarily discuss the role of gastrin, a hormone involved in digestive processes, particularly in stimulating stomach acid production and modulating other gastrointestinal functions. The context and accuracy of some statements, especially the last one, may require further clarification or medical advice.
