[blank_start]Crohn’s[blank_end] is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease affecting all layers of the GI tract ([blank_start]transmural[blank_end]). Its key characteristic is [blank_start]skip[blank_end] [blank_start]lesions[blank_end], and on a colonscopy there is a “[blank_start]cobblestone[blank_end] [blank_start]appearance[blank_end]." ANY part of the GI tract but most commonly the [blank_start]terminal[blank_end] [blank_start]ileum[blank_end] (can cause [blank_start]vitamin[blank_end] [blank_start]B12[blank_end] deficiency).

Pregunta
Pancreatic secretions are controlled by the [blank_start]parasympathetic[blank_end] nervous system.
[blank_start]Secretin[blank_end] in response to H+ in the duodenum causes the pancreas to secrete [blank_start]bicarbonate[blank_end].
In response to [blank_start]fats[blank_end] and [blank_start]amino[blank_end] [blank_start]acids[blank_end] in the duodenum, the pancreas releases CCK cholecystokinin (CCK). CCK also causes [blank_start]gallbladder[blank_end] contractions.
These proteolytic enzymes are released inactively as [blank_start]zymogens[blank_end] to protect the pancreatic tissue from being destroyed.

Pancreatitis is due to injuries that lead to autodigestion of the pancreas by its own [blank_start]enzymes[blank_end].
[blank_start]Acute[blank_end] pancreatitis is characterized by reversible pancreatic [blank_start]parenchymal[blank_end] injury associated with inflammation. [blank_start]Biliary[blank_end] [blank_start]tract[blank_end] disease and alcoholism account for approximately 80% of cases of [blank_start]acute[blank_end] pancreatitis in Western countries.
[blank_start]Chronic[blank_end] pancreatitis is defined as prolonged inflammation of the pancreas associated with irreversible destruction of [blank_start]exocrine[blank_end] parenchyma, [blank_start]fibrosis[blank_end], and, in the late stages, the destruction of [blank_start]endocrine[blank_end] parenchyma.
