Answer:

The correct answer would be B. Ingestion, digestion, absorption, elimination.

Digestion refers to the breakdown of complex compounds into simpler elements.

The process of the digestive system can be sequenced as:

  1. Ingestion: Intake of food from outside the body. For example, in humans, food is taken in from a mouth.
  2. Digestion: The breakdown of complex compounds into simpler elements. For example, polysaccharides, polypeptides, and fats are converted into monosaccharides, amino acids, and fatty acid chains and glycerol respectively.
  3. Absorption: The digested food is absorbed and transported to all parts of the body. In humans, the small intestine is the major site of food absorption.
  4. Assimilation: The nutrients are transported or distributed to all cells of the body where they are utilized for power generation.
  5. Excretion: The undigested food is then excreted out of the body. In humans, the solid waste is excreted through the anus.

Free_Kalibri [48]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.

Neurons transmit signals to the central nervous system. The brain processes this information to initiate a response. Two neurons communicate with each other through the ( axon , dendrite, synapse) . The ( cerebrospinal cord, glial cell, neurotransmitter) is released at the site to initiate action potential and carry the signal through the body.

Answer:

synapse

neurotransmitter

Explanation:

Neurons are the basic units for the transmission of signals to the central nervous system. The two neurons are connected through the syanpse. Synapse is the space or junction between two nerve cells, or neurons.

The neuron receives signals through dendrites and two neurons  communicate with each other through a chemical called neurotransmitter, which is released at the end of a nerve fibre and carry the signal through the body.

Hence, the correct answers are synapse and neurotransmitter.
