Across
- 3. A group of peptide hormones secreted by gastrointestinal mucosal cells that stimulates the production of acid
- 5. A hormone secreted by the S cells of the duodenum that prevents the pH of the small intestine from falling below 4.5; inhibits secretion of hydrochloric acid produced by parietal cells and stimulates the pancreas to secrete bicarbonate

- 9. Any of a group of enzymes that help break down fatty acids and perform essential roles in the digestion and processing of dietary lipids
- 12. The passage of liquid stools more than three times daily and/or a stool weight greater than 200 g/day
- 17. Released by the gallbladder to emulsify fats into smaller globules for further breakdown by lipid hydrolyzing enzymes (2 words)
- 21. A chronic inflammatory bowel disease that may affect any part of the digestive tract (2 words)
- 22. Tests that detect products of bacterial metabolism in the gut or products of human metabolism by measuring compounds in breath (2 words)
- 24. The gold standard in the evaluation of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (3 words)
- 26. An inflammatory disease characterized by persistent and progressive destruction of the pancreas (2 words)
- 27. An inherited disease caused by genetic alteration of a transmembrane conductance regulator protein (CFTR) that can lead to chronic pancreatitis and pulmonary disease (2 words)
- 30. Gastrin secreting cells (2 words)
- 32. A hormone secreted by the duodenal mucosa that regulates the release of bile by the gallbladder and the secretion of enzymes by the pancreas
- 33. Inflammation of the mucosa of the stomach
- 34. Regulates blood glucose by stimulating the breakdown of glycogen to glucose
Down
- 1. Secreted by the islets of langerhans in the pancreas to help regulate blood glucose levels
- 2. A protease of the intestinal brush border that specifically cleaves the acidic propeptide from trypsinogen to yield active trypsin
- 4. Clusters of cells resembling berries

- 14. A disease caused by the destructive interaction of gluten with intestinal mucosa causing malabsorption (2 words)
- 15. Inflammation of the pancreas
- 16. Cells in the mucosa of the small intestine that release serotonin (2 words)
- 18. A test used for the measurement of lactase activity (3 words)
- 19. An acute episode of destruction of the pancreas due to the release of active pancreatic enzymes into pancreatic tissue (2 words)
- 20. Proenzyme
- 23. A bacterium found in the stomach that can be associated with inflammation (2 words)

- 29. A non–β-islet cell, gastrin-secreting tumor
- 31. The conversion of food in the intestines into compounds capable of being absorbed
