Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Patients with esophageal strictures may require frequent dilation with bougie dilators, which range in size from 16 to 60 French.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The stomach has three main functions: (1) it moves food along, (2) the secretory actions cause the food to break down, and (3) the endocrine component is responsible for the release of gastrin and somatostatin. Gastrin causes the release of acid, and somatostatin inhibits the release of gastrin.
