The common bile duct and the main pancreatic duct share a common opening into the duodenum, which is controlled by a sphincter. when a gallstone forms, sometimes it moves down and gets lodged in this sphincter. as a result, secretions from the gallbladder and pancreas are blocked from entering the lumen of the duodenum. what results do you predict, specifically caused by the absence of these blocked secretions? select all that apply. (assume there is no accessory pancreatic duct, as is the case for most people.)
a. bicarbonate from the pancreas would be blocked, so the lumen in the duodenum would be a little more alkaline than normal when processing a meal.
b. bicarbonate from the pancreas would be blocked, so the lumen in the duodenum would be a little more acidic than normal when processing a meal.
c. enzymes would be blocked, so some foods would not be adequately digested.
d. glucagon would be blocked, so the ability to regulate blood glucose would be reduced.
e. insulin would be blocked, so the ability to regulate blood glucose would be reduced.
f. bile would be blocked, so the ability to digest proteins would be reduced.
g. bile would be blocked, so the ability to digest fats would be reduced.
