    Study Notes

    Paneth Cells

    • A reduction in the number of Paneth cells would likely have significant consequences.

    Goblet Cells

    • The jejunum has the most goblet cells in the digestive tract.

    Anatomy of the Duodenum

    • The hepatic portal vein crosses over the inferior or horizontal (third) portion of the duodenum.

    Hormonal Imbalance

    • An imbalance of secretin would result in an acidic small intestine environment, despite normal levels of pancreatic enzymes, pepsinogen, and stomach and gall bladder motility.

    Anatomy of the Pancreas

    • The tail of the pancreas lies in the splenic hilum.
    • The splenic artery supplies blood to the pancreas.
    • The pancreatic head is responsible for secreting enzymes via a duct or ducts into the superior part of the duodenum.

    Salivary Gland Damage

    • Damage to the parotid gland would lead to an increase in the concentration of triglycerides in the esophagus.

    Steatorrhea Causes

    • The liver is the least likely organ to be the cause of a patient's steatorrhea.

    Abdominal Pain Causes

    • The most likely cause of a 68-year-old man's acute-onset severe upper abdominal pain is gallstones.
