Hypoperfusion is another name for:
balu736 [363]

Answer:

D) shock

Explanation:

Hypoperfusion is caused by insufficient oxygen and nutrient delivery to body tissues. It is also called as shock because if not treated on time it can lead to failure of organ tissue system. There can be many reasons for hypoperfusion or shock but in the end all of them lead to decreased cardiac output. Sometimes shock can occur even when cardiac output is normal. This happens because the body requirement for oxygen and nutrients is so high that normal cardiac output is not sufficient for delivering them. This situation can occur during fever, infection and extreme pain.

The pancreas secretes many enzymes, collectively referred to as ______ that are deposited into the first section of the small in
ehidna [41]

Answer:

The process of food ingestion, digestion, absorption and excretion, is a pretty long and complex one, which requires not just physical and mechanical actions by the body, particularly the digestive tract, but also the action of diverse chemicals, best known as enzymes, that will ensure that nutrients in food can be taken from the food and used properly by the cells of the body. Starting with simple activation of the nervous system by smell, touch, sight, or simple thought, and ending with the actual excretion, digestion is a pretty interesting dance.

The answers, then, to the questions, would be as follows:

1. Pancreatic juices. These are vital for the digestion and absorption mainly of fats and sugars. Proteins are mostly the responsibility of stomach enzymes, though the pancreatic juices finalize what the stomach enzymes started.

2. The creamy content that leaves the stomach and enters the duodenum, is called the chyme. This is simply the fluid way in which the once solid foods, and liquid foods, travel down the system so that nutrients can be extracted.

3. Because the chyme is coming from the stomach, where large amounts of acid have been added to work on proteins, most pancreatic enzymes would become inactive. Therefore, the pancreas, especially the epithelial cells of it, secrete bicarbonate ions to bring the pH of the chyme down. Then can the different lipases, amylases, and other pancreatic enzymes, work.

4. The gallbladder functions mainly as a reservoir of bile, the substance created by the liver and which contains salts. However, it also adds to the bile produced by the liver by hyper-concentrating what is stored inside by removing water and electrolytes from it. This is why liver bile and gallbladder bile are not exactly the same. When lipid-rich food enters the system, cholesystokinin, CCK, is released by the duodenum and jejunum and thus the gallbladder responds by emptying its contents through the common bile duct.

5. The name of the aggregates are mycelles and these allow the pancreatic lipases and other enzymes to work on long-chain fat molecules.

6. The name of the motion that takes place in the small intestine, and which pushes the chyme back and forth, is called the segmental contractions and this allows the chyme to come into contact with the microvilli, which will be th ones taken up the necessary nutrients from the digested foods.
