Answer and Explanation:

  • Ingestion of foods and liquids
  • Mechanical processing of food materials and liquids
  • Warming the body with heat released from the digestive organs as they process food.

Digestion is the breakdown of food substances by enzymes to simpler compounds that can be absorbed. Digestion begins in the mouth. Once food is ingested in the mouth, it is chewed and broken into small particles suitable for swallowing. Mechanical procesing of food is through the wave-like contractions of the muscular walls of the alimentary canal called peristalsis. Churn and pound food mixing it with digestive enzymes.

After digestion, absorption and assimilation, the final product is oxidized to provide energy to the body.

When you eat a large meal and your body absorbs a lot of glucose and that makes its way to the interstitial fluid before going i
Brrunno [24]

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The glucose is the basic unit of energy. It is absorbed by the cells of the body. The glucose that is taken inside the body by the means of food is utilized to gain energy.

The glucose that is absorbed from the food moves to interstitial spaces before going inside the cell.

100% of the glucose is transferred from the interstitial spaces of the cell to the inside of the cell.

This is because more amount of the glucose is still outside the cell as it is absorbed completely.

Which receptor fires continuously as long as a stimulation is applied?
Brrunno [24]

Type I cutaneous mechanoreceptor (Merkel disc), Type II cutaneous mechanoreceptor (Ruffini corpuscle), thermoreceptor, muscle spindles are the receptors fires continuously as long as a stimulation is applied. Thus, option b, f, g, h are correct.

<h3>what are the role of receptors?</h3>

Receptors are the sensing protein molecule which bind to specific molecule in cell called as ligand.

The ligand can be a drug or any endogenous molecule like neurotransmitters, hormones, etc.

Based on molecular structure and mode of action four major types of receptors are found such as G-protein coupled receptors, ligand-gated ion channel receptors, Nuclear receptors, Kinase-linked receptors

Almost all the receptors have endogenous ligands such serotonin, acetylcholine etc.

Hence, option b, f, g, h are correct.
