Which statement correctly describes the mechanism of inflammatory diarrhea?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inflammatory diarrhea occurs if the mucosal lining of the intestine is injured. This can be caused by various factors such as infections, toxins, or autoimmunity, leading to the release of inflammatory mediators and damage to the intestine.

Answer: B
 Secretory diarrhea occurs if the pathogen stimulates the intestine to secrete fluid and mucus. This can happen through the activation of cyclic AMP or cyclic GMP pathways, leading to an increase in chloride secretion and a decrease in sodium absorption, ultimately resulting in watery diarrhea.
