Answer:

The GIT mucus lining of the GIT serve as a physical barrier to the movement of digested food substances.

The mucus also help to prevent inflammation of the bowels; by reducing  or suppressing immune response to inflammation.

In Cystic fibrosis, the blockage of the ducts by the mucus, prevents enzymes from reaching the digestive  food substances,. The resulting undigested food substances leads to bloating, pain, cramps, gas, smelly belch, constipation, and smelly stools.

Sympathetic division is responsible for the nervousness, pounding in the chest and the butterfly movement in the stomach while parasympathetic division overest a and digest the nervousness.

Explanation:

The nervousness experienced when someone is about to speak in front of a class is caused by the sympathetic system which have divergent effects as many different effector organs are activated together for that same purpose. I.e More oxygen are inhaled and delivered to skeletal muscle. The respiratory, cardiovascular, and musculoskeletal systems are all activated at the same time causing an unstable reaction to the central nervous system...

On the other hand, the parasymthetic division causes the central nervous system to rest and digest at a very slow rate..

At a point in time the central nervous system triggered an Homeostasis action which posses a balance between the two divisions.I.e symthetic and parasymthetic and then brings about a balance to the body reaction at that same point.
