Pancreatic secretions can be prevented from entering the duodenum by:
1. pyloric valve
2. sphincter of oddi
3. the common bile duct
4. cholecystokinin secretion
Proteolysis cannot be performed by:
1. zymogen | 2. chymotrypsin |
3. trypsin | 4. carboxypeptidase |
A cause of pancreatitis can be autodigestion by the activation, within the pancreas, of:
1. bile
2. bacterial
3. carboxypeptidase
4. trypsin
The serous secretions [enzyme rich] are stimulated by the hormone:
1. cholecystokinin
2. secretin
3. enterogastrone
4. enterocrinin

3. B12
4. A
A type of capillaries with discontinuous endothelium seen in liver are known as:
1. sinusoids
2. central vein
3. porta hepatis
4. portal veins
The Kupffer, specialized macrophages lining the walls of the sinusoids cells, are phagocytic cells found in the
1. stomach
2. pancreas
3. small intestine
4. liver
The common bile duct is formed when the common hepatic duct merges with the:
1. Duct of Rivinus
2. cystic duct
3. pancreatic duct
4. Wharton’s duct
The hepatopancreatic ampulla [ampulla of Vater] is formed by the union of common bile duct with the:
1. hepatic duct
2. pancreatic duct
3. cystic duct
4. common hepatic duct
