2)Aerobes outnumber anaerobes 100 to 1

Hypothetically speaking, what would this graph suggest about the cause of ulcers?
Assume Group 1 is antacid treatment and Group 2 is a placebo.
# Ulcers/ patient
Group 1
Treatment Group
a) Antibiotics prevent ulcers
b) Bacteria cause excess acid
Group 2
Oc) The excess acid theory is correct
d) The excess acid theory is incorrect
The inflammatory bowel disease ulcerative colitis is thought to be a result of a breakdown of the mucus barriers within the intestine due to reduced mucus production. Therefore, in ulcerative colitis patients you would expect to observe a decrease in the amount of:
1) goblet cells
2) circular muscle
3) submucosa
4) serosa

While each of these diseases causes inflammation by a different mechanism, they all result in decreased capacity to absorb nutrients and minerals. In extreme cases, this can lead to severe diarrhea, malnutrition, osteoporosis (weakening of the bones), and iron deficiency, to name a few. Based on the information above, which region(s) and structure(s) of the alimentary canal is (are) most likely targets of inflammation? Explain your answer based on the roles of each segment of the alimentary canal.arrow_forward
