ANS: A, D, E
Both ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are inflammatory bowel disorders that have an inherited component to their etiology and have tenesmus as a common symptom. Crohn's disease is characterized by skip-type lesions that involve noncontiguous segments of the bowel, whereas ulcerative colitis involves a continuous segment of bowel. Surgery can provide a cure for ulcerative colitis, but not Crohn's disease. Symptoms can be seen outside the GI tract in both diseases.
