I. UNDERSTANDING THE DISEASE AND PATHOPHYSIOLOGY 1. How is acid produced and controlled within the gastrointestinal tract? The production of acid occurs in the stomach by cells that are therein. The cells found in the stomach produce intrinsic factors and hydrochloric acid. There are chemical messengers that help during the activity. They are histamine, gastrin and acetylcholine. Gastrin helps in stimulating the cells to produce secretions when food enters the stomach. An enzyme somatostatin inhibits the secretions when needed. The digestion takes place in three phases; the cephalic phase, gastric phase and the intestinal phase. It is in the ...

In this case, the leader selects some tools that are directive, participative, and achievement oriented. The basis for selecting these tools is the needs of ...

Introduction

Cancer affects the body’s most basic unit, the cell. Normally, cells grow and divide to form new cells. When cells grow old, they die to make room for new ones and new cells grow only when the body needs them. However sometimes the old cells do not die or new cells are produced when not needed by the body they form tumors. Tumors can be either benign or malignant (National Cancer Institute, 2011). and organs.

When a muscle is stimulated, do all motor units fire? Why, or why not?

Not all motor units fire when a muscle is activated. This is because in the reflex, not all motor units are activated (Brown et al, 2006).

1b). Explain how the force of contraction changes with recruitment.

The force of contraction depends on the activation of muscle fibers. When more motor fibers are recruited, a greater contraction force results (Zatsiorsky & Kraemer, 2006). The stimulation of the smallest muscles such as the slow twitch fibers result from the recruitment of the smallest motor nerves which, occurs first (Zatsiorsky & Kraemer, 2006).

1c). with continues recruitment, is there a point at which there is ...
