Sometimes the cure for gallstones is to surgically remove the gallbladder. What effect would removal of the gallbladder have on digestion?
1) Why does the procedure (Gastric-bypass) result in weight loss?
a) The patient "feels full" much more quickly - it is actually uncomfortable to eat too much.
b) Some of the absorptive area of the small intestine is bypassed, so fewer calories are absorbed
c) The reconnection of ducts from the pancreas and the bile duct allows for secretion of some digestive
enzymes that are necessary for complete breakdown of food
d) The procedure decreases the peristaltic capability of the lower intestine
e) All of the above are true
f) Choices a and b are correct
Blockage of the bile duct would be expected to affect
