The human digestive system consists of the gastrointestinal tract plus the accessory organs of digestion (the tongue, salivary glands, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder).[1] In this system, the process of digestion has many stages, the first of which starts in the mouth. Digestion involves the breakdown of food into smaller and smaller components, until they can be absorbed and assimilated into the body.

Chewing, in which food is mixed with saliva begins the process of digestion. This produces a bolus which can be swallowed down the esophagus and into the stomach. Here it is mixed with gastric juice until it passes into the duodenum, where it is mixed with a number of enzymes produced by the pancreas. Saliva also contains a catalyticenzyme called amylase which starts to act on food in the mouth. Another digestive enzyme called lingual lipase is secreted by some of the lingual papillae on the tongue and also from serous glands in the main salivary glands. Digestion is helped by the mastication of food by the teeth and also by the muscular actions of peristalsis and segmentation contractions. Gastric juice in the stomach is essential for the continuation of digestion as is the production of mucus in the stomach.

Peristalsis is the rhythmic contraction of muscles that begins in the esophagus and continues along the wall of the stomach and the rest of the gastrointestinal tract. This initially results in the production of chyme which when fully broken down in the small intestine is absorbed as chyle into the lymphatic system. Most of the digestion of food takes place in the small intestine. Water and some minerals are reabsorbed back into the blood in the colon of the large intestine. The waste products of digestion (faeces) are defecated from the anus via the <span>rectum</span>

The phenotype of vestigial (short) wings (vg) in Drosophila melanogaster is caused by a recessive mutant gene that independently
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

It is expected to obtain 576 individuals with normal wings and body with normal hair, 192 with normal wings and hairy body, 192 with vestigial wings and body with normal hair, and 64 with vestigial wings and hairy body.

Explanation:

Since only the wild-type of the offspring cross each other and since the parents have antagonistic phenotypic characters for each gene, all the progeny produced in the F1 is heterozygous with VgvgHh genotype, where

Vg: Normal wings.

eg: Vestigial wings.

H: Body with normal hair.

h: Hairy body.

Once F1 reproduces with each other, the Mendelian proportions 9/16, 3/16, 3/16, 1/16 expected in the F2 generation are produced.

Since in total there were 1024 individuals in the offspring, this amount is multiplied by the expected proportions, giving rise to the mentioned result.

How could the nostril and mouth movements of a frog be described when it is using its lungs to breathe?
Ulleksa [173]
To breath in the air, frog lowers the floor of the mouth. That causes throat to expand and nostrils to open. The air enters the mouth through nostrils and after that nostrils close. The floor of the mouth contracts to push the air into the lungs. To breath out the air, the floor of the mouth is lowered again and the air is pushed into the mouth. Nostrils open again and the air leaves the mouth.
