Question

A class of molecules named for this substance binds to farnesoid X receptors, which regulate their production by suppressing a 7-alpha hydroxylase enzyme. Ursodiol is part of that class of steroid acids named for this substance that is often conjugated to glycine or taurine. Inflammation of an organ that stores this substance is indicated by Murphy’s sign. A duct (10[1])named for this substance (10[1]-5[1])and the (10[1])duct of (10[1])Wirsung join to form the ampulla of Vater. It’s not produced by acinar (“ASS-in-er”) cells, but this substance (-5[1])is released by the sphincter of Oddi in response (10[1])to CCK. Buildup of a component of this substance can lead to skin discoloration in jaundice. (10[2])This substance increases fat-soluble (-5[1])vitamin absorption in the duodenum and emulsifies lipids to aid in digestion. For 10 points, name this yellow-green fluid stored (10[1])in the gallbladder. ■END■ (10[1])
