Select the best answer or answers from the choices given: Someone has eaten a meal of buttered toast, cream, and eggs. Which of the following would you expect to happen? (a) Compared to the period shortly after the meal, gastric motility and secretion of HCl decrease when the food reaches the duodenum; (b) gastric motility increases even as the person is chewing the food (beforeswallowing); (c) fat will be emulsified in the duodenum by the action of bile; (d) all of these.
Fred has been experiencing recurring episodes of heartburn, especially when he bends over to lace his shoes or when he lies down in bed. His physician believes Fred may have a hiatal hernia. To confirm this diagnosis, she has scheduled Fred for a “barium swallow.” In this test, a barium-containing fluid that blocks x-rays is swallowed so that the stomach appears as a bright mass in a radiograph. If Fred has a hiatal hernia, what should the radiologist see on the radiograph? Can you explain what caused the symptoms that brought Fred in to see his physician?

The tournament consisted of an 18-hole practice round on Thursday, 27 holes on Friday, and 27 holes on Saturday. The temperature reached 97 degrees all three days. Mark woke up Friday night with cramps in his gastrocnemius. What could be the cause of these cramps and how could they have been prevented? Kenny did not fare much better...on Saturday afternoon, he stepped into a hole off of the fairway and twisted his ankle. He finished the round, but on Sunday, the ankle was quite swollen and he could barely walk. He also was having severe back spasms. He made a trip to Urgent Care and was diagnosed with a sprained ankle and a strained back. How does a sprain differ from a strain? How is a sprain/strain often treated (Hint: PRICE)?
