Why are the contents of gastric juice so hostile to the exposed duodenal wall?
Orlov [11]

Gastric juice  is a thin strongly acidic (pH 1 - 3 ) almost colorless liquid secreted by the glands in the stomach lining. It is made acidic by one of its constituents namely hydrochloric acid. It is because of its acidic nature that gastric juice can be  so corrosive to the lining of the duodenum.

The integrity of the inner lining of the (mucosa) of the duodenum depends on a careful balance of the "aggressive" factors (such as acid) and "defensive" factors (such as mucus) which helps to protect the delicate surface lining.

Disruption of this balance caused by too much acid (or weakened defense ) can result in erosions or ulcers .

kathy became addicted to alcohol in her teen years, which factors influenced her drinking? check all that apply
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

There is a lot of evidence to suggest that a family addiction history is an indicator of the likelihood of addiction.  If Kathy's family had an addition history, she should have not experimented with any form of substance use.

Explanation:

Some people drink because they like the way alcohol makes them feel.  If they drink in moderation or occasionally, there may be almost no addiction potential.  However, in Kathy's situation, her family history showed that individuals in her family who start drinking, more often than not, lose control and become addicted.  

Peer pressure can be a real problem that leads to substance abuse. It is possible that Kathy felt pressured to drink and did not have an adequate support system or adult monitoring at hand,

If Kathy's parents did not see underage drinking as an issue, they were setting Kathy up for big problems.  Teens who have parents who establish and enforce behavioral guidelines and reinforce legal mandates are much more likely to avoid substance abuse.

Children who are able to access alcohol and other addictive substances are more likely to experiment, and in some cases, become addicted.  It was irresponsible for Kathy's parents allow Kathy access to alcohol.

Advertising portrays the use of alcohol to be fun, exciting and socially inclusive.  It is possible that these messages contributed to Kathy's decision to start drinking.  

Given her family history, the accessibility of alcohol, peer pressure and lack of good parenting, Kathy was doomed to addiction from a very early age. hope this helps you or A,B,D,E hope this helps you :)
