Multiple Choice Questions on Gastrointestinal Disorders Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following statements about the role of the intestine in development of obesity best describes the situation?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because flavor signals from tasty, processed food can indeed override satiety signals even after a large meal. This is due to the hedonic aspect of eating, where the pleasure derived from consuming flavorful foods can lead to overeating despite feeling full. The brain's reward system plays a significant role in this process, causing individuals to continue eating beyond their caloric needs. In contrast, choices A, B, and C do not accurately describe the role of the intestine in the development of obesity. Choice A focuses on hormonal imbalances, which can contribute to obesity but does not solely explain the complex nature of obesity development. Choice B oversimplifies the control of energy intake, disregarding the various factors influencing eating behaviors. Choice C places the blame solely on personal choices without considering the physiological and psychological factors that contribute to overeating.
Question 2 of 5
Your physician measures your blood pressure as 120/110. What SHOULD be your response?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: you're concerned because the diastolic number indicates your heart will have to work harder. This is because the diastolic number (110) represents the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats, which should ideally be below 80. A high diastolic pressure indicates increased resistance in the arteries, making the heart work harder to pump blood. The systolic number (120) being within the normal range is not as concerning as the elevated diastolic pressure. Summary: - Choice A is incorrect because the diastolic number being high is a cause for concern. - Choice C is incorrect as blood pressure numbers are crucial indicators of heart function. - Choice D is incorrect as the systolic number being low is not the primary concern in this case.
