1. Tim's symptoms include deteriorated coordination, stamina and school performance, nausea, painful joints and an abnormal increase in growth rate. His personality also changed which manifested as depressive mood, introversion, anxiety and tension. These symptoms could indicate an endocrinological problem, therefore the organ system which could be associated with them is the thyroid gland.

2. The thyroid gland is an organ of the endocrine system which is located in the neck, behind Adam's apple. It regulates metabolism, protein synthesis and development. It does so by producing a number of hormones: calcitonin, thyroxine and triiodothyronine. The two thyroid hormones (thyroxine and triiodothyronine) regulate the body's metabolism by controlling the way cells produce and consume energy.

3. Hyperthyroidism is an endocrine condition in which there is an overproduction of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland. Under these conditions, the thyroid gland proves to be overactive and the main symptom is the acceleration of the metabolism. Tim's sudden increase of growth rate and inability to gain weight, along with his nervousness and mood swings, and his fatigue and loss of energy could indicate a problem of hyperthyroidism.

4. Cortisol is a steroid hormone which is produced by the thyroid gland. It is often called as the "stress hormone" as it is released in response to a stressful situation. It is also released in response to low blood glucose concentration. Some of cortisol's functions are the increase in blood sugar, the suppression of the immune system and bone formation. Cortisol is also involved in the metabolism of macronutrients.

The seismic waves that travel through Earth’s interior are known as the P waves and the S waves, these seismic waves have differences, first the P waves compress and enlarge the foundations(rocks) as they move through it, while the S waves, shakes the particles of their medium up and down and side-by-side. P waves can travel through solid granite, magma, water or even air, while S waves can only travel through solids, they are unable to travel through fluids. The P waves are the fastest of all known seismic waves, it is the first seismic wave to register on the seismograph, while the S wave is the second one.

What mechanical and chemical digestion occurs in the stomach
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

<h2>There are two kinds of digestion; </h2><h2>i) Mechanical and ii) chemical digestion. </h2>

Explanation:

There are two kinds of digestion;

i) Mechanical and ii) chemical digestion.  

Mechanical digestion involves physically breaking down  the food into smaller pieces. It begins in the mouth as the food is chewed.

In the Stomach

The stomach is a muscular sac with three important functions:

i) It mixes and stores food until it can be further digested.

ii) It secretes chemicals that help break the food into more digestible forms.

iii) It controls the passage of food into the small intestine.

Chemical digestion involves breaking down the food particles into simpler nutrients that can be used by the cells.  

In stomach, chemical digestion of mostly  proteins occurs  Secretions from the stomach lining consist of about two liters of HCl, pepsin, and other  many fluids that make up gastric fluids. The fluid is acidic and it helps kill bacteria and  many other pathogens. It also produced by the stomach lining usually keeps the acids from damaging the lining. If no mucus or  too much acid is produced, peptic ulcers form.
