Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Ileus is obstruction of the intestine. It can be caused by a mechanical or functional difficulty and occurs when gas or fluid cannot move normally through the bowel. Functional obstructions occur when the intestinal motility (peristalsis) is defective, as in paralytic ileus. Mechanical obstructions occur when there is a blockage in the lumen or pressure exerted from outside the intestine. Examples include volvulus, stenosis, and intussusception.
