Answer: B)

Explanation:

A sphincter is a thick circular muscle that normally holds a natural body passage or orifice constricted and relaxes as needed by normal physiological function. Circular muscles are the muscle layer that encircles the body between the epidermis and the longitudinal layer of muscles.

The mucosa of muscularis consists of a smooth muscle and is most common in the stomach. The circular muscle layer prevents food from flowing backward within the muscularis externa (propulsion), while the longitudinal layer shortens the tract while a sphincter prevent the movement of digesting materials.

Hence, the correct option is B.

The majority of mining in the U.S is subsurface mining.<br> True or false
Reika [66]

Correct answer: True

Subsurface mining is one of the types of mining, which is done when minerals that are mined are present below the surface of the earth. This is done because the minerals cannot be obtained from the surface level. Then, in that case, subsurface mining is done.

It is done by constructing a reinforced tunnel down the surface to the place where the mineral resource is present.

What is the digestive function of bile? (Anatomy and Physiology)​
valkas [14]

Answer:

Bile, informally known as stomach acid, chemically breaks down food early on in the digestive process.

Explanation:

Chewing is the first step in the process of digestion (assuming we are talking about humans and other animals with a similar digestive system) where the food is mechanically/physically broken down.

At the same time, saliva breaks down the food chemically (hence why leaving a simple carb such as bread in your mouth causes it to dissolve over time)

Once you swallow, muscles in the esophagus push the broken-down food to the stomach, where more chemical digestion takes place as a result of bile.
