Question
Chapter 18, Problem 27RA
Summary Introduction
To review:
The following:
1. The various types of neurons present in the wall of the intestine and their involvement in short reflexes.
2. The reason behind considering the enteric nervous system as an enteric brain.Â
Introduction:
The building blocks of the nervous system are called neurons. They transmit information within the whole body. All organs in the body have been provided with nerves in order to sense any changes and respond accordingly to them. The small intestine is a part of the

A- Even if there isnt chyme in the duodenum, stomahc acid might leak into the duodenum. the trypsin in pancreatic juice neutralizes that B- We eat a lot, so we're always digesting food in the duodenum C - the process of fat breakdown is slow, so lipids could stay in the duodenum for over a day, so we need a steady supply of pancreatic lipase. D- Even if there isn't chyme in the duodenum, stomach acid might leak into the duodenum. The bicarbonate in pancreatic juice neutralizes thatarrow_forward
