Animals that eat large, fatty meals at irregular intervals (e.g., carnivores like cats) require the gall bladder to release bile into duodenum at the time of meal (by hormonal signals), while animals that eat fat-poor diets continuously (e.g., herbivores like horses) do not need a gall bladder at all – their bile continuously drips into the duodenum from the common hepatic duct. true or false

You are going to go out with a bunch of friends to a restaurant with the best pizza in town. Your favorite is the pizza covered with cheese, tomato and lots of garlic and onions. The only problem is that you know that later in the evening you will be suffering from heartburn and indigestion. Decades ago, the only choice was to take some antacids after overeating pizza, but today there are multiple choices of preventative medications that act to stop heartburn before it starts. The stomach is a highly acidic environment that is further acidified after ingestion of food, which triggers a hormone-stimulated cascade. This hormone stimulation results in the activation of a H+ /K+ ATPase channel ("proton pump") that releases additional protons into the stomach cavity. Heartburn occurs when the acid in the stomach undergoes reflux and backs up into the esophagus, giving you that burning feeling in the chest. There are three types of remedies available. 1. Antacids such as calcium carbonate…

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)
There are several processes that take place from the moment food enters our mouth until it is completely digested and used for energy. Using approximately 400-500 words, describe in detail and in order of process the mechanical (stomach and intestine)and chemical (gastric acid and enzymes) digestion of eating a grilled chicken sandwich with mayonnaise, lettuce, and tomatoes. Note what role the pancreas, gallbladder, and liver play in digestion of the ingredients? From what ingredients is your body deriving its energy and how many basic calories from the macronutrients ingested? Include at least two scholarly references (using APA formatting and style) to guide your answers (note that you can use your textbook as one of your references).

Which of the following statements is not true about elimination of wastes from the body? Conscious opening of the external sphincter and smooth muscle contraction leads to the movement of the feces out of the alimentary canal. In the resting state the internal sphincter is relaxed while the external sphincter is contracted. Both sphincters must be relaxed in order for feces to pass out of the body. As the rectum fills it stimulates the internal sphincter to relax and the external sphincter to contract.
Which of the following is not true about bile?
