1. Compare and contrast the pathophysiology between diverticular disease (diverticulosis) and diverticulitis. a. Diverticulosis is described by the presence of sac-like protrusions, diverticula, which form when colonic mucosa and submucosa herniated through defects in the muscle layer of the colon wall. Diverticula are developed from age-related degeneration of the mucosal wall and segmental increcreses in colonic pressure resulting in the bulging at the weak points. The weak points in the colon...
