Answer: Throbbing, Sharp, Aching, Cramping, Tingling, Crawling

Explanation: Adenocarcinomas are types of cancers that start in mucus producing glands. The pancreas produces hormones and enzymes that help to digest food. About 85% of pancreatic cancers are caused by adenocarcinoma. These tumors starts in the ducts of the pancreas.

Pain is a symptom that can't be ruled out when we are talking about adenocarcinoma. The pain is usually as a result of the tumors pressing on the bones, nerves or other organs in the body. Since the pancreas is a soft tissue, damage to it may cause "throbbing", "sharp" or "cramping" pains. The tumor may also produce chemicals which may damage the nerves and cause "burning", "tingling", "crawling" pains. The tumorcould also press on the nerves causing tingling and burning pains.

Also, the pain could be as a result of nerve changes due to chemotherapy treatment. In this case, the pain descriptors could be "numbing" or "tingling". The pain at the site of injection could be referred to as "burning" as a result of the burning sensation one may feel.

4. Which of the following is true regarding the pancreas?
eduard

Answer:

The true statement regarding the pancreas is that pancreas secretes sodium bicarbonate (option D).

Explanation:

The pancreas is a gland that performs both exocrine and endocrine functions. Within its exocrine function this gland can secrete a solution formed by water and sodium bicarbonate.

The <u>secretion of pancreatic sodium bicarbonate is carried out from the ductal and central cells</u>, providing a hydroelectrolytic solution useful for attenuating stomach acid at the level of the duodenum.

The other options are not correct because:

<em>     A. </em><u><em>Trypsin </em></u><em>is an enzyme that is responsible for breaking the pethidic bonds of porters, and not carbohydrates.</em>

<em>     B. Pancreatic </em><u><em>amylase </em></u><em>acts on carbohydrates, not fats.</em>

<em>     C. </em><u><em>Lipase</em></u><em> in pancreatic juice acts on fats, not on sugars or carbohydrates.</em>

True [87]

Answer:

1: If I had a set daily/weekly workout, a good idea on what to drink and eat would be:

A healthy breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Some healthy breakfast options include scrambled eggs and toast. Some healthy lunch options include salads and sandwiches. Some healthy dinner options include soups and rice bowls with different a variety of toppings. Stews and Stir-Frys are also fun and healthy.

Drink lots of water, and stay away from carbonated drinks and unhealthy amounts of fructose/artificial flavors.

2: It is definitely better to sleep the same amount daily. Sleeping in on the weekends is a popular option for some people, but it is healthier to sleep the same amount daily, so that you can feel energized everyday, not just on the weekends.

I hope this helped, let me know if I need to edit my answer/include anything else. :>
