- When a patient needs a tendon graft, surgeons sometimes use the tendon of the palmaris longus, a relatively dispensable muscle of the forearm.

The pain is absent when he wakes up in the morning but appears about midmorning. It is relieved by food but recurs 2 to 3 hours after a meal. This pain often wakes him up during the night. Endoscopic examination of his gastrointestinal tract showed normal stomach anatomy but craters and inflammation were observed in the duodenum. Gastric analysis demonstrated that the gastric juice pH fell to 1.9 with pentagastrin stimulation (6 ug/kg s.c.). Fasting serum gastrin levels were normal. Include your references below. 1. Based on your understanding of the function of the gastrointestinal system, what do you think is the problem? 2. What is the significance of a pentagastrin stimulation test? (What is pentagastrin?)
