can anyone help me with a physiology question? I'm stuck on #2 heres the assignment. Help is appreciated1. Bob is under a lot of stress at his job and at home. He begins to feel discomfort and a burning sensation in his abdomen after a meal, and after consulting a doctor finds that he has developed a duodenal ulcer. He doesn't understand how being nervous would cause the ulcer, and asks you to explain. What would you tell him?




2. Leon has gallstones. His doctor puts him on a diet low in fat. Why?





3. Barb has Crohn's disease, a regional inflammation of the intestine. The disease is thought to have some genetic basis, but the actual cause is as yet unknown. When the disease flares up, she experiences abdominal pain, weight loss, and anemia. Which part(s) of the intestine is (are) probably involved, and what is the cause of Barb's symptoms?





4. What symptoms would you expect to observe in a person whose small intestine is blocked at the level of the jejunum?



5. In a condition known as gout, blood levels of uric acid are higher than normal. Since uric acid is not as soluble as urea, some of the uric acid will precipitate out in joint capsules, causing local inflammation, pain, and ultimately damage to the joint. Individuals with gout are frequently treated by altering their diet. How can this help?

one of the causes of gallstones is a high fat diet, which means more cholestrol in the gallbladder, and less emptying of it.
