Several questions dealing with anatomy/biology?
1) A person’s blood has high cholecystokinin levels. What does this tell you about the presence or absence of chyme in the small intestine?
2) Some pathogenic bacteria in food can survive the stomach and small intestine, reaching the large intestine. There, they attack the lining of the colon. This irritates the colon, and goblet cells in the colon are stimulated to produce more mucus. This extra mucus can inhibit water absorption through the colon. What common digestive abnormality does this cause?

The presence of chyme in the small intestine ultimately triggers the gall bladder to "squirt" bile into the intestine. This is caused by the increased presence of cholecystokinin.
Diarrhea results when the colon cannot absorb excess water.
1. It means there is a high amount of fat or protein rich chyme in the small intestine.

2. Diarrhea
Someone in your class must be asking the same questions. . .
1) The chyme is in the duodenum of the small intestine. The highly acidic chyme triggers the release of cholecystokinin, which digests fats and proteins.
2) not sure but it sounds like diarrhea…
