Answer:

The correct answer is the duodenum.

Explanation:

Pancreatic juice is an alkaline fluid which contains important enzymes for the digestion of proteins, carbohydrates and fats.  

Pancreatic juice is secreted by the pancreas when food enters the stomach which is released into the "duodenum" of the small intestine. The pancreatic juice enters duodenum through a pancreatic duct which joins with the bile duct coming from the liver and form "ampulla of Vater" in the duodenum.

Pancreatic juice helps in digestion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats as it contains pro-enzymes and enzymes like trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, lipase and many more. It also makes the acidic stomach solution alkaline due to the presence of HCO₃.

Thus, the duodenum is the correct answer.

pdf The effects of cannabis use during pregnancy on low birth weight and preterm birth: a systematic review and meta-analysis
alexandr1967 [171]

Findings In this meta-analysis of 16 studies involving 59 138 patients, maternal marijuana use during pregnancy was linked to a higher risk of preterm births and admission to neonatal intensive care units as well as a decrease in the average birth weight, the 1-minute Apgar score, and the babies' head circumference.

Birth weight, gestational age at delivery, small for gestational age (defined as less than the fifth percentile fetal weight for gestational age), preterm delivery (defined as before 37 weeks' gestation), admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), Apgar score at 1 minute, Apgar score at 5 minutes, the incidence of an Apgar score less than 7 at 5 minutes, fetal head circumference, a rate of preterm delivery, gestational age at delivery, birth weight.

A quantitative, formal, epidemiological study method known as a "meta-analysis" is used to carefully evaluate the findings of earlier research in order to draw conclusions about that body of work. The study is typically—but not always—based on randomized, controlled clinical trials. In order to find the answers to a particular topic, a systematic review makes an effort to compile all accessible empirical studies. The statistical method of assessing and combining data from numerous related studies is called a meta-analysis.

How are DNA profiling and blood connected?
Anna [14]

Answer:

Hi there,

They are connected because both of them find identities to someone. All DNA Profiling is, is using either semen, blood, urine, even a strand of hair to test and find whoever left those categories behind. It is used in forensic science that is where they can find the victim's identity or find the suspect.

DNA Profiling and Blood are the same things, in fact, blood IS part of DNA profiling it helps with the testing process in forensic science.

I hope this helped :)
