Answer:

Secretes enzymes and other liquids that aid in the digestion and processing of food

Explanation:

The liver is a large organ in the body, if not the largest. It possess a red-purple color and constitutes a part of the digestive system. The liver carry out many functions in the human body; inclusive of digestive function. Although it is not a main digestive organ.

During digestion, the liver is responsible for processing of absorbed nutrients by releasing certain hormones and chemicals like bile, which aids in digestion of fat. This is the reason the liver is considered a "gland"

The stimulation of an inadequate number of sodium channels for the generation of a positive sodium channel feedback loop is cons
diamong [38]

Answer:

Sub-threshold

Explanation:

If the stimulus is too small to generate the action potential, it is considered as subthreshold stimulus. Subthreshold stimulus causes the opening of small number of sodium channel i.e. not enough to generate action potential because action potential is generated by complete reversal of membrane polarity. Slight depolarization is caused by subthreshold stimulus by the opening of inadequate number of sodium channel but its magnitude is not enough to reach the threshold voltage. Consequently the action potential is not generated.

The response produced by subthreshold stimulus is called as local response or local depolarization because it could not travel further. The minimum stimulus required to generate the action potential is call as threshold stimulus and stimulus greater than threshold stimulus is called as suprathreshold stimulus. It changes the frequency of generated action potential.

Once inside the lungs, these arteries split into increasingly smaller branches that eventually reach the pulmonary capillary bed
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

This is the site of gaseous exchange

Explanation:

Gaseous exchange is the mechanism by which oxygen is substituted for CO₂ in the body. CO₂ laden blood is carried to the alveoli, which is wrapped with numerous capillary beds and with walls that are thin. When a person inhales, the difference in the partial pressure of the various gases ( oxygen and carbon dioxide) causes them t move down their concentration gradients, with CO₂ diffusion into the lungs from red blood cells, and oxygen binding to the haemoglobin in the red blood cells, after which they are carried to all body tissues for cellular respiration. During exhalation, the CO₂ in the lungs is expelled to the exterior and the process repeats.
