Question

Sandra has been having pains just under her diaphragm and a little to the right of the center of her body. They seem to be especially painful after she has eaten fatty food. Which of the following would be best for her to ask her doctor to help her investigate?

 If her pancreas is still secreting bile 
If the lining of her stomach has been damaged
 If her small intestine has enough fat-digesting enzymes
 If something is wrong with her gallbladder

Answer 1

Hi.

She should ask her to doctor to investigate for Atherosclerosis. This typically happens when you eat foods high in Trans Fats.

Answer 2

Answer:

If her small intestine has enough fat-digesting enzymes

Explanation:

The organ which is referred in the question is duodenum of the small intestine. In the duodenum, pancreatic juice containing fat digesting enzyme, lipase is poured. The pancreas releases the pancreatic juice. If lipase, a fat digestion enzyme is not secreted in sufficient amount in the duodenum, the digestion of fats will be hampered which may results in pain below the diaphragm.
