The correct answer is: A. A watery mixture of partially digested food released by the stomach into the intestines

Chyme or chymus is formed in the stomach, during the process of digestion (it takes 40 minutes to 3 hours to be produced) , and it is transported to the small intestine-duodenum.

In the beginning of the digestion (in the mouth), mixture of food and saliva called bolus, is formed. Mechanical and chemical breakdown of a bolus creates chime which is ready for the extraction of nutrients from it.

A) Describe the first interaction that triggers signaling to begin in a target cell.
sergey [27]

Answer:

Ligand-receptor interaction is the first interaction that triggers cell signalling.

Ligands are the hormones, drugs or neurotransmitters that specifically bind with receptors present in cell surface to initiate cell signalling. Ligand binding to the receptor is reversible. Binding of the ligand to the receptor can activate or inactivate receptor. Activation may lead to cell signalling pathways. Inside cells, there are secondary molecules which on activation starts a cascade of reactions. which in-turn regulate the function of the ligand molecule.

At first, the activated receptor relates with G proteins molecules in the cell.

before the ultimate physiological effect of the ligand on the cell's behavior is produced Therefore, the cellular signaling starts as soon as the first messenger (the ligand) binds to its receptor.

Risk factors include people who work with animals or animal products, travelers, postal workers, and military personnel.Diagnosis can be confirmed by finding antibodies or the toxin in the blood or by culture of a sample from the infected site.

Triss [41]

The muscular system allows the body to move while the skeletal system provides a structure and form to our body. Without the muscular system we could not move and without the skeletal system we would not take any form.
