Students have asked these similar questions
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
Explain in detail the mechanical and chemical processes that render a chunk of cheese (containing mostly protein and fat) absorbable in the jejunum.
Why are there so many mucin-producing
glands along the
length of the GI tract?
