All of the following statements are untrue except:
A)Peptic ulcers can be treated by anticholinesterase drugs.
B)gastric secretion in response to hypoglycemia is due to gastrin.
C)Peptic ulcers tend to heal by removal of the pyloric antrum.
D)Vomiting occurs more by smooth muscle than by skeletal muscle activity.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peptic ulcers can indeed heal following the removal of the pyloric antrum, as this procedure can reduce the production of gastric acid by removing the area of the stomach that produces a significant amount of gastrin, a hormone that stimulates acid secretion. This reduction in acid can allow the ulcer to heal. The other options are incorrect: anticholinesterase drugs are not typically used to treat peptic ulcers (they can actually worsen symptoms by increasing gastric acid secretion), gastric secretion in response to hypoglycemia is not primarily due to gastrin, and vomiting is primarily a function of skeletal muscle activity (the act of vomiting is controlled by the brain and involves the coordinated contraction of skeletal muscles, not smooth muscles).
