drugs: a medicine or other substance which has a physiological effect when ingested or otherwise introduced into the body.

What layer of the alimentary canal wall is responsible for absorption and secretion?
Annette [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. The mucosa is responsible for absorption and secretion.

Explanation:

The mucosa is the deepest layer of the intestinal tract, surrounding the lumen, or space inside the tube. This layer comes into direct contact with food (or bolus) and is responsible for absorption and secretion, which are important processes in digestion.

The mucosa is highly specialized in each organ of the intestinal tract, facing a low pH in the stomach, absorbing a multitude of different substances in the small intestine and also absorbing specific amounts of water in the large intestine.

IgorC [24]

Answer:

The three hallmarks of diabetes mellitus, are: polyuria, polyphagia and polydipsia. Polyuria, is the excessive production of urine and it is seen when people constantly need to pee. Polyphagia, is excessive hunger, in which, people constantly express their need to eat something. And finally, polydipsia, is excessive thirst, present in diabetics, who constantly feel the sensation of thirst and tend to drink a lot of fluids. When these hallmarks are present, even sometimes without a test, it can be ascertained that a person suffers from diabetes mellitus, or simply, diabetes.

Explanation:

Diabetes mellitus was the term used to define diabetes in general. Diabetes is defined as a metabolic disorder in which, usually, sugar levels are very high in the blood, due to a problem either with production of insulin, or the insulin present being incapable of performing its function. There are three types of diabetes mellitus: diabetes type 1, with onset in youth, and also called insulin-dependent diabetes, type 2, with onset in the adult, also known as non-insulin dependent diabetes, and type 3, which is gestational diabetes. In all three cases, the three symptoms mentioned above appear, and they are the clearest signs of a possible diabetes.
