The digestive system is made up of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract—also called the digestive tract—and the liver, pancreas,
and gallbladder. The GI tract is a series
of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus. The hollow organs that make up the GI tract
are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine—which includes the rectum—and anus. Food enters the mouth and passes to the anus through the hollow organs of the GI tract. The liver, pancreas, and gallbladder are the solid organs of the digestive system. The digestive system helps the body digest food.
Bacteria in the GI tract, also called gut flora or microbiome, help with digestion. Parts of the nervous and circulatory systems also play roles in the digestive process. Together, a combination of nerves, hormones, bacteria, blood, and the organs of the digestive system completes the complex task of digesting
the foods and liquids a person consumes each day.

In the movie Osmosis Jones how is the nervous system represented
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

As an electric power grid

Explanation:

When Osmosis Jones misses his shot he hits the nervous system which is then represented as an electric power grid. This sets off very strong cramps in Frank. This is pretty interesting because the nervous system works like that. It sends electrical impulses down the cells and that is how information passes through the body.

How can a woman give birth to a child and avoid transmitting herpes?
netineya [11]

Since herpes is spread from active skin infection and not from latent infection, a newborn baby can be infected with herpes only if they are born while the virus is active. Neonatal herpes generally occurs if the baby's skin becomes infected during the birth process.
