What happens to a man whose pancreas has been surgically removed?

Explanation

When a man's pancreas has been surgically removed, it means that the organ responsible for producing insulin and other important hormones has been taken out. As a result, the correct option is A, the level of blood sugar would increase. The pancreas produces insulin, which helps regulate the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood. Without the pancreas, the body cannot produce insulin, which would cause the level of glucose in the blood to rise. This is because the glucose cannot be transported from the bloodstream into the cells, where it is needed for energy. Option B, the glycogen content of the liver would increase, is incorrect. Glycogen is a storage form of glucose in the liver and muscles. However, the removal of the pancreas would not cause an increase in the glycogen content of the liver. Option C, his blood pressure would decrease, is also incorrect. The pancreas is not directly involved in regulating blood pressure. Option D, his weight would increase appreciably, is also incorrect. While the removal of the pancreas can cause weight loss, it is not likely to result in a significant increase in weight. In summary, the correct answer is option A, the level of blood sugar would increase, due to the absence of insulin production by the pancreas.
