1. Chief; carbonic esterase; carbon dioxide
2. Parietal; carbohydrase; bicarbonate
3. Parietal; carbonic anhydrase; carbon dioxide
4. Goblet; carbonic anhydrase; bicarbonate

Identify the incorrect statement:

1. Increasing acidity in the stomach stimulates endocrine cells in the gastric epithelium to produce somatostatin that inhibits further HCl secretion

2. HCl production increases in response to carbohydrates entering the stomach

3. HCl secretion is inhibited when acidity increases in the small intestine

4. Gastrin, histamine, and acetylcholine all act to increase HCl secretion

Enterokinase:

The large intestine functions in:
1. Bicarbonate secretion and bacterial action
2. Acid secretion and bacterial action
3. Water reabsorption and mass movements
4. Mixing action and intestinal hormone production

A common cause of peptic ulcer disease is:
1. Increased activity of the autonomic nervous system in persons with chronic stress
2. Infection of the stomach wall by Helicobacter pylori (a type of bacteria)
3. Consuming high levels of dairy products and hot, spicy foods
4. Increased production of hydrochloric acid (HCl) or gastrin by the stomach

Identify the incorrect statement:
1. Constipation is caused by decreased motility in the large intestines
2. Diarrhea may result from decreased fluid absorption in the large intestines
3. A high intake of dietary fiber reduces the risk of constipation because it increases distension and motility in the large intestines
4. Bacterial diarrhea results from a bacterial toxin that blocks water channels in the cells of the large intestines
