The two organs that help break down food mechanically are the stomach and the intestines (large and small intestines).
The stomach helps digest the food and the intestines help turn the food into waste.

Hope this helped :)
Have a great day

Mechanical digestion occurs in the mouth and the esophagus. In your mouth you use your teeth to break your food into smaller pieces. In your esophagus, the walls of the organ periodically contracts which further digests the food.

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Dementia

Explanation:

Dementia is a condition that involves impaired mental ability and memory which is common among older adults. This condition, which is a major contributor to disability and placement of older adults in nursing homes, can be as a result of several factors of which nutrition has a major role to play. Metabolic and endocrine problem that results to the inability of the body system to regulate nutrients such as calcium and vitamin B-12, are some of the factors that triggers dementia in older adults. Also, nutritional deficiencies such as dehydration, inadequate intake of vitamin B-1, vitamins B-6, copper,vitamin E, and vitamin B-12 increases the chances of developing dementia in older adults.

Research shows that low levels of vitamin D can be linked to increased risk of developing dementia, and as such, supplements such as B-complex vitamin, vitamin C, and vitamin D is usually recommended for the prevention of dementia, especially when they are deficient in the diets taken.

<h2>CRISPR/Cas9</h2>

Explanation:

CRISPR can be used to reintroduce dystrophin back into the KO mouse

  • CRISPR stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats and is used to for gene editing
  • CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome editing has been shown to permanently correct DMD mutations and restore dystrophin function in mouse models
  • Germline editing by injecting zygotes with CRISPR/Cas9 editing component was first done in mdx mice by correcting the mutated exon 23
  • Postnatal editing of mdx mice was then achieved using recombinant adeno-associated virus to deliver CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing components and correct the dystrophin gene by skipping or deleting the mutated exon 23 in vivo
  • Germline and postnatal CRISPR/Cas9 editing approaches both successfully restored dystrophin function in the mice and same technique can be used for KO mouse model
