Answer:
            
            "Absorption is the process in which digested food molecules move from                the wall of samll intestine into blood or lymph"

Explanation:

                     Small intestine is composed of three main regions:

1. Duodenum:

                    It is the first part of samll intestine where acidic chyme from stomach enter and become alkaline due to mixing with bile and pancreatic juice. Chemical digestion of carbohydrate, protein and fats is completed here.

2. Jejunum:

                Jejunum is the site where about 90% of absorption of digested food takes place. It is lined with small hair like projection called villi and micro-villi. these villi are lined with blood vessels  (capillaries as shown in the figure) and lymph. After absorption of small peptides, amino acids, glucose and fructose, they reach to blood capillaries inside villi and micro villi. From here digested food particles are transported to liver and other parts where they are needed. 

3. Ileum:
             
          It is the last and longest part of small intestine about 12 feet long. <span>ileum contains receptors for absorption of vitamin B12 and bile salts.</span>

kap26 [50]

Answer:

low level of calcium would result in fewer signals sent between pre and post synaptic cells.

Explanation:

The calcium has a main role in signal transmission mechanism and here is the mechanism :

1-the impulse reaches the synapse (depolarization which is a voltage change).

2-the voltage gated calcium channels open and let calcium flow into the cell.

3-the calcium causes the synaptic vesicles to rupture and release chemical transmitters which cross the synaptic cleft and finally bind to receptors on the post synaptic cell (transmitting the signal)

so it's obvious that if calcium concentration decreases, the signal transmission also decreases.

Answer:

a stationary front moves when a cold front or warm front stops moving this happens when two masses of air are pushing against each other but neither is powerful enough to move the other winds blowing parallel to the front instead of perpendicular can help it stay in place.
