Correct. Chronic inflammation in Inflammatory Bowel Disease can lead to the formation of scar tissue (fibrosis) in the intestines. This can result in narrowing of the intestinal lumen and obstruction.
Incorrect. While increased production of digestive enzymes may occur in certain digestive disorders, it is not a primary mechanism involved in the tissue damage seen in IBD.
Incorrect. In IBD, cell regeneration is often disrupted, and accelerated cell turnover can contribute to inflammation and tissue damage rather than healing.
Incorrect. In IBD, the intestinal mucosa may be weakened rather than strengthened due to chronic inflammation and damage.
