Biology - Digestion and Absorption Question with Solution | TestHub
Given below are two statements.
Statement I - Degradation of fats increases formation of ketone bodies in diabetes insipidus.
Statement II - Entero-gastrone slows gastric contractions and inhibits secretion of gastric juice.
In the light of above statements, select the correct option given below:
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
Statement I is incorrect because the degradation of fats leading to the increased formation of ketone bodies occurs in diabetes mellitus, not in diabetes insipidus. Diabetes insipidus is caused by a deficiency of or resistance to antidiuretic hormone (ADH), resulting in excessive urination and thirst, but it does not affect fat metabolism or cause ketoacidosis.
Statement II is correct because enterogastrone (also known as gastric inhibitory peptide) is a hormone secreted by the duodenal mucosa in response to the presence of fats in the chyme. It acts to inhibit gastric acid secretion and slows down gastric contractions, thereby delaying gastric emptying.
Therefore, Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
Answer: Statement I is incorrect but statement II is correct.
