Tom Was Admitted to the Emergency Room Last Week Complaining

Tom was admitted to the emergency room last week complaining of abdominal pain.He was diagnosed with a serious infection of his abdominal cavity.At the tissue level,which of the following scenarios is the most likely cause of his abdominal pain and infection?

A) The gap junctions between Tom's nerve cells are blocked resulting in a backup of neural impulses.This is what is causing the pain in his abdominal cavity.
B) Tom most likely ruptured the gap junctions that hold the epithelial cells together in his intestines allowing the contents to leak into the abdominal cavity.
C) The tight junctions that hold the epithelial cells together in Tom's intestines are not creating a solid barrier.This is allowing the gastric juices in his intestinal tract to leak into the abdominal cavity.
D) The pH of Tom's stomach dropped leading to increased acidity levels.The stomach is not accustomed to high acidity levels resulting in Tom's pain.
E) The adhesion junctions in the intestinal wall were stretched out,allowing the contents of Tom's intestinal tract to leak into the abdominal cavity.This is what caused the pain he was experiencing.
