Chapter 1, Problem 5CAL

- a. Yes, because the drug is irritating her stomach lining and that explains her symptoms.
- b. Yes, because serotonin is located both in the brain and the digestive tract, so the drug is altering
digestive system functioning. - c. No, because the drug is supposed to elevate mood and affect brain function, and it shouldn’t have any effect on the digestive system.
- d. No, because the drug is quickly absorbed from the digestive tract and does not remain in the digestive system long enough to have any effect there.
