Final answer:
The list of GIT obstruction abnormalities includes intussusception, volvulus, hernia, and ileus, all of which cause physical blockages that can interrupt the normal function of the digestive system.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer to the student's question on obstruction abnormalities of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is A) Intussusception, volvulus, hernia, ileus. These conditions can lead to a physical blockage within the GIT, interrupting the normal passage of contents through the digestive system.
- Intussusception occurs when a part of the intestine telescopes into the adjacent section, causing a blockage.
- Volvulus refers to the twisting of the intestine that can lead to obstruction and disrupt blood flow.
- Hernia is the protrusion of an organ or tissue through the wall of the cavity that normally contains it, which can cause an obstruction if the intestine is involved.
- Ileus is a functional or mechanical lack of movement in the intestines that leads to a build-up of intestinal contents and blockage.
Understanding these conditions helps in the diagnosis and treatment of GIT obstructions.
