Help needed!

I need help with these 3 questions:

Jaundice is a yellow staining of tissues produced by high blood concentrations of bilirubin. Which of the following is a likely cause of jaundice in adults?

1. Decreased production of HCl in the stomach resulting in a more neutral stomach environment

2. Gallstones that result in blockage of bile excretion.

3. . Lactase deficiency resulting in lactose intolerance.

4. Decreased secretion of amylase by the pancreas.

* Individuals with gastritis are told to avoid foods that stimulate acid secretion and to take antacids. They may also take H2 histamine receptor blockers such as Zantac. Which of the following explains how the fuction of histamine?

1. Histamine reduces the activity of the proton pump (H+/K+)

2. Histamine converts pepsinogen to pepsin.

3. Histamine promotes the release of HCl by parietal cells.

4. Histamine promotes the release of gastrin, which stimulates parietal cells to secrete HCL.

Lactose or milk sugar is hydrolyzed into monosaccharides by which of the following?

1. amylase in saliva

2. HCL in the stomach

3. amylase secreted by the pancreas

4. brush boarder enzymes on the small intestines

Preparing for my final exam :uhoh3:

Thank you so much! :bowingpur

    Being that I went through it (gallbladder disease-gallstones), here's what I can tell you. When you have a gallbladder attack, it also plays havoc on your liver enzyme count to the point that if you (far fetched hypothetically) walked into a doctor's appointment for an appointment, didn't tell the doctor that you just had a gallbladder attack within the past hour and he ordered labwork - you'd more than likely be called back in for a second round of blood work for possible hepititis.

    Jaundice is often caused by some type of liver dysfunction and because of this gallbladder/pancreas/liver relationship, gallstone attacks can cause disrupted liver function and (in some cases) the associated jaundice as well as pancreatitis. So my vote is for gallstones in this case:-)

    And this answer is based on personal experience vs what I was taught in school:D
