Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether it is better to take an oral rehydration solution containing glucose or sucrose during secretory diarrhea.

Introduction: Secretory diarrhea is caused when the intestines are not able to completely absorb the electrolytes. This may be caused due to bacterial toxicity, reduction in absorption area, or some medical problems.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The reason for giving oral rehydration solution containing glucose to the people with secretory diarrhea.

Introduction: Glucose is a monosaccharide that provides energy to the cells of the body. Sucrose is a disaccharide which is made up of two monosaccharides, glucose, and fructose. Sucrase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes the sucrose into its monosaccharides.

Mr. Johnson has a gallstone (a stone) that completely obstructs the normal flow of bile and pancreatic juice into the duodenum. Explain how the digestion of carbohydrates (polysaccharides and disaccharides), lipids (triglycerides), proteins, and nucleic acids would be affected throughout the digestive tract, starting in the mouth and ending in the microvilli of the cells in the small intestine. Make one paragraph per molecule.
A key event in the chemical digestion processes that occur within the stomach is the release of H+ and Cl– into the lumen of the stomach. Explain how the parietal cells of the gastric glands are able to produce HCl that is a million times more acidic than blood without destroying the cells themselves.
On the histologic section of the glands stomach's fundus, relatively large electron-microscopically cells with acidophilic cytoplasm can be seen, and in these cells there is a complicated system of intracellular tubules. What component of gastric juice is formed due to the activity of these cells? Serotonin Mucus Gastrin O Hydrochloric acid Opepsinogen
