1. Increase in vessel pressures in the hepatic artery portal hypertension
and the portal vein. This increased pressure is of-
ten associated with liver disease.
2. Condition that occurs when a section of the stom- hiatal hernia
ach protrudes upward through an opening in the
diaphragm toward the lung
3. erosive lesions affecting the lining of the stomach peptic ulcer disease (PUD)
or duodenum
4. A narrowing and obstruction of the pyloric sphinc- pyloric stenosis
ter
5. An organ that performs as many as 500 different Liver
functions. Some of the livers primary roles
are vital for homestasis
6. An inflammation of the pancreas that can be acute pancreaatitis
or chronic
7. The expulsion of the feces from the rectum defecation
8. Type of gastritis that usually develops suddenly acute gastritis
and is likely to be accompanied by nausea and
epigastric pain. It can be mild, transient, irritation
or can be a severe ulceration with hemorrhage.
9. An inflammation of the mucosal lining of the stom- gastritis
ach that can be either acute or chronic
10. A condition in which chyme periodically backs up gastroesophageal reflux dis-
from the stomach into the esophagus. Occasion- ease (GERD)
ally, bile can back up into the esophagus. The

14. A thick, sticky substance produced by the globlet mucus
cells in the epithelial lining of the nose, trachea,
and bronchi
15. Fluid that accumulates in the peritoneal cavity ascites
16. The innermost of four layers of the walls of the GI Mucosa
tract. The mucosa produces mucus
17. Inflammation of the stomach and intestines, usu- gastroenteritis
ally because of an infection or allergic reaction
18. A muscular ring through which chyme passes as it pyloric sphincter
leaves the stomach in small, varying amounts. The
pyloric sphincter prevents reflux of bile from the
small intestines into the stomach.
19. Asymptomatic diverticular disease. Usually there diverticulosis
are multiple diverticula present,
