The damage to Jane’s GI tract is localized to the large intestine (colon), whereas patients with Crohn’s disease may have any part of the GI tract affected in the form of “skip” lesions. B. A patient with Crohn’s disease is more likely to have bloody stool than Jane. C. The entire thickness of the Jane’s intestinal wall (mucosa, submucosa, smooth muscle, and serosa) may be affected, whereas only the mucosa is affected in patients with Crohn’s disease. D. Jane may benefit from using a nicotine patch or chewing nicotine gum, while evidence for a therapeutic benefit of nicotine in Crohn’s disease is more limited. E. Anti-inflammatory pharmaceuticals, such as steroids and immunomodulators, are used to treat Crohn’s disease but not Ulcerative Colitis.arrow_forward
- Pernicious anemia is an autoimmune disease that leads to the destruction of parietal cells. How does the loss of these cells lead to ECL (enterochromafin-like) cells hyperplasia? Describe the likely steps in this pathophysiological process.arrow_forward54-year-old man comes to the physician because of a 2-day history of fever, abdominal pain, and bloody diarrhea. His temperature is 40°C (104°F). Physical examination shows left-sided tenderness on palpation of the abdomen. A CT scan is shown.

A) Appendix B) Colon C) Duodenum D) lleumE) Jejunumarrow_forwardExplain how Vibrio cholerae causes cholera without apparent damage to the intestinal epithelium. a. This microbe attaches to the surface of intestinal epithelial cells, producing an endotoxin that causes the epithelium to secrete potassium ions. This induces small amounts of water to follow by osmosis, resulting in the watery rice-stool characteristic of the illness. b. This microbe causes destruction of the cellular structures underneath the intestinal epithelium—this is what induces the watery rice-stool characteristic of the illness. This leaves the overlying intestinal epithelium intact. c. This microbe directly invades the intestinal epithelial cells, but does not kill them. Instead, while multiplying inside them, it causes them to secrete large amounts of chloride ions. This induces water to follow by osmosis, resulting in the watery rice-stool characteristic of the illness. d. This microbe attaches to the surface of intestinal epithelial cells, producing an exotoxin…arrow_forward
