B. Trypsinogen is activated, thus neutralizing the stomach acid.
C. Bile salts from the gallbladder neutralize the stomach acid.
D. When pepsinogen activates pepsin, one result is the neutralization of stomach acid in the stomach.

Secretin increases the flow of bicarbonate ions from the pancreas into the small intestine to neutralize stomach acid.

Gastric acid regulation, pancreatic bicarbonate modulation, and osmoregulation are the three primary roles of secretin. Pancreatic fluid stimulation and bicarbonate secretion are two of secretin's main physiological effects.

Peptide hormones released by endocrine cells in the digestive system include secretin and CCK. While CCK enhances the synthesis and secretion of bile juice and pancreatic enzymes, Secretin stimulates the release of water and bicarbonate ions from the pancreas.

A pancreatic fluid that is high in bicarbonate is secreted when secretin is present. By interacting with pancreatic ductal cells, secretin enters the bloodstream or intestinal lumen and increases the production of bicarbonate, which lowers the pH of the gastric chyme as it enters the small intestine.

OLga [1]

Answer:

The patient will have increased blood flow and decreased blood viscosity.

Explanation:

Thinning blood makes it, for lack of better term, thinner. This means it must have a lower viscosity. (For examples of viscosity, think of pouring out a glass of water versus a glass of maple syrup. The syrup has a much higher viscosity, and will take longer.)

As demonstrated in the above example, liquids with lower viscosity flow faster. This means the patient's blood flow will increase, as it will be easier for the blood to move through capillaries and the heart won't have to push as hard to move the blood through the body.

These results correspond with answer B or D, which, at the time of this answer, are identical. Whichever answer states increased blood flow and decreased viscosity is correct.

1. Use special knee and elbow pads to prevent the child from joint bleeds. Ceramic tiles should also be carpeted.
If the child is very active, it is advisable for the child to wear a helmet to prevent head injuries.

2. Regular exercise: Exercises will help strengthen the muscles and decrease the chances of bleeding from injuries. A good exercise is swimming, because it helps exercise all the muscles without putting street on the joints.

3. Caring for teeth: It is advisable for the child to brush twice daily and floss regularly. This would reduce the chances of the child's gum to bleed.

Identify this functional group
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Hydroxyl

Explanation:

Hydroxyl groups are simple structures consisting of an oxygen atom with two lone pairs bonded to a hydrogen atom.

A hydroxy or hydroxyl group is a functional group with the chemical formula -OH and composed of one oxygen atom covalently bonded to one hydrogen atom.

Using these given definitions, a hydrogen bond is labeled with one linkage, while a covalent bond is with two links to the Carbon Atom.

See attached image for a similar diagram for proof.
