he digestive, circulatory, respiratory, immune, and excretory systems all work together to maintain homeostasis. Discuss how a m

inor malfunction in one of these systems could lead to major malfunctions in others. If methods were developed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of one system, what effect might that improvement have on the other systems?

The digestive, circulatory, respiratory and excretory systems interact in supplying matter and energy to body cells and in removing waste. A minor malfunction in one of the systems could lead to major malfunctions in others. It may eventually lead to cell damage or death.

All the cells in the body need oxygen( respiratory system) to maintain functioning--getting energy from food (digestive system) ingested and removing the waste (excretory system).  Also, the respiratory system and excretory systems remove waste products such as carbon dioxide and urine and sweat. If it fails, the body will lose homeostasis.

Methods developed to improve efficiency and effectiveness of one system might help other systems preserve  or improve functioning. If one system is compromised it may be assisted with or replaced by developed methods preventing it from accompanying damage to other systems.

Which of these is least likely to be an adaptation of an organism to its environment?
Mkey [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is "C. Cave fish have evolved degenerated eyes because they have no use for vision in dark, underwater caves."

Explanation:

All of these statements about organism adaptation to its environment are true, but the real reason why cave-fish are blind is not because there's no use for their eyes in the dark, but because being blind saves them energy, as using one's vision requires the activity of photoreceptive cells and neurons, and underground caves are lacking in both food and oxygen.

The process of lipid digestion begins even before you take your first bite of food. Just the smell of food can begin digestive j
ikadub [295]

Answer:

The given statements have been rearranged in the following order to depict the flow of events that account for lipid digestion in the human body:

  1. Mechanical digestion by chewing breaks food down.
  2. During digestion, gastric lipases break down fat into fatty acids and triglyceride molecules.
  3. Gastric lipase digests some triglycerides.
  4. The pancreas secretes gastric lipase into the small intestine, where the majority of fat digestion occurs.
  5. Lipid ­digesting enzymes from the pancreas break down the triglycerides into two free fatty acids and a monoglyceride.
  6. Lingual lipase is secreted from the pancreas and breaks down triglycerides.
  7. With the aid of pancreatic lipase, fats are further broken down into free fatty acids and monoglycerides.
  8. Products of fat digestion are packaged into micelles and transported to the enterocytes.

The process is started in the mouth. Action of the teeth physically breaks down the food and increases it surface area that allows for better access to it for the enzymes to carry out mechanical digestion. Gastric lipases are those in the stomach, most of the lipid digestion takes place in the small intestine with the help of enzymes secreted by the pancreas and the small intestine itself. After digestion, the final products are taken up by the lymphatic system.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
