Stomach

In the stomach, enzymes break down food such as carbohydrates, protein and fats, so that nutrients can be absorbed farther down the GI tract, according to the National Digestive Disease Information Clearinghouse. The stomach mixes and churns foods to slowly release into the small intestine. Liquids empty the quickest, in one to two hours, and solid food takes about two to three hours to transit out of the stomach.

Answer:

-The three main types of muscle include skeletal, smooth and cardiac.

- Skeletal muscle – the specialised tissue that is attached to bones and allows movement. ...

Smooth muscle – located in various internal structures including the digestive tract, uterus and blood vessels such as arteries. ...

Cardiac muscle – the muscle specific to the heart.

-Skeletal muscles are attached to the skeleton by tough connective tissues called tendons

-Many skeletal muscles are attached to the ends of bones that meet at a joint. The muscles span the joint and connect the bones. When the muscles contract, they pull on the bones, causing them to move.

-They are lightweight yet strong and hard, and serve multiple functions.

-The joints help attach bones to one another to provide flexibility & allow the muscles to help give the bones a way to move.

- The nervous system helps all the parts of the body to communicate with each other.

-Your nervous system uses specialized cells called neurons to send signals, or messages, all over your body.

-homeostasis?

Receptors in muscles provide the brain with information about body position and movement. The brain controls the contraction of skeletal muscle. The nervous system regulates the speed at which food moves through the digestive tract.

Mendel investigates stem length, or height in pea plants what if he had investigated human height instead why would his results
WINSTONCH [101]

Human height is one of the traits that belong to traits that cannot easily be placed in discrete phenotypic classes (there is not only tall and short people, there is continuous variation of height between them). Such traits are usually controlled by more than one gene (polygenic traits).

On the other hand, a Mendelian trait is controlled by a single locus.
