What do you know about the digestive system? In this pathophysiology trivia quiz, you will get to see all there is a specific way that the system works, and there are different parts of the body that are involved in the whole process. Do give it a look and get to see just how
Systemic effects of viral infection
Obstruction of bile ducts and malabsorption
Necrosis of liver cells
Ammonia toxicity
Full recovery to normal tissue after the toxic material is removed
Acute onset of vomiting, steatorrhea, and jaundice
Continued mild inflammation of the liver without permanent damage
Gradual irreversible damage to the liver and cirrhosis
Below normal blood levels of AST and ALT
ULQ tenderness and dull pain
A small, firm, nodular liver and portal hypertension
Accumulation of fat in the hepatocytes and hepatomegaly
Serum urea
Conjugated bilirubin
Serum ammonia
Serum pH
Ingesting excessive lipids
Bleeding occurs in the digestive tract
An increase in unconguated bilirubin occurs in the serum
Less bile is produced
Portal hypertension
Alcohol irritating the mucosa
Failure to inactivate estrogen
Poor nutritional status
Anemia and leukopenia
Jaundice and pruritus
Recurrent infections
Deficit of vitamin K and prothrombin
Increased aldosterone and deficit of albumin
Severe anemia and increase serum bilirubin
Hypoalemia and increased serum ammonia
Hyperproteinemia and persistent hypotension
Metastic tumors
Acute hepatitis
Long term exposure to certain chemicals
Chronic cholelithiasis
Formation of multiple thrombi and ischemia
Infection by intestinal
Immune complex reaction
Activation and spread of proteolytic enzymes
Inflammation and increased vascular permeability of the peritoneum affect fluid balance
Erosions in the intestinal wall causes release of bacteria
Fat necrosis and hypocalcemia develop
Secretions from the pancreas and intestine become more acidic
Damage to the intestinal villi
Obstruction in the pancreatic ducts
Acidosis preventing activation of digestive enzymes
Insufficient bile for absorption
A light gray colored stool
A tarry black stool
Bulky, fatty, foul-smelling stools
Watery stools with mucus and blood
Low sodium, high fat
High carbohydrate, low protein
High calorie with vitamin supplements
Gluten-free
Degeneration and flattening of the villi in the small intestine
Multiple herniations of the mucosa through weak areas of the muscularis
A continuous area of mucosal inflammation and ulceration in the rectum and colon
Inflamed areas of the wall of the ileum alternating with thick fibrotic or normal areas
Diverticulitis
Ulcerative colitis
Chron's disease
Celiac disease
Lack of peristalsis leading to dilated areas of intestine
Fibrosis and thickening of the wall causing obstruction
Erosion of the mucosa causing bleeding
Recurrent inflammation, necrosis, and fibrosis forming a connection between intestinal loops
Loss of surface area for absorption in the ileum
Bone marrow depression by toxic wastes
Chronic blood loss in stools
Insufficient hydrochloric acid for iron absorption
Physical and emotional stress
An autoimmune reaction
A combination of recessive genes
Idiopathic
Lower left quadrant
Lower right quadrant
Sharp, colicky, periumbilical
Lower abdominal pain, radiating into the groin
Infection in the appendix
An episode of severe diarrhea
Obstruction of the lumen in the appendix
Eating a low-fiber diet
Increased peristalsis in the adjacent colon
Inflammation and stretching of the appendiceal wall
Increased gas and fluid inside the appendix
Local inflammation of the parietal peritoneum
The (m)omentum walls off the inflamed area.
Intestinal bacteria escape through the necrotic appendiceal wall
The obstructing object inside the appendix perforates the wall
Bacteria escape into the circulating blood
Change in shape of the stool
Bleeding with defecation
Mild but persisitant pain in the lower left quadrant
Occult blood in the stool
Lungs
Stomach
