Answer:

e. absorption of monosaccharides

Explanation:

The oral cavity is the first part of the digestive system where food is received, crushed, mixed with digestive enzymes secreted at that level, and also where the food is turned into the form of bolus before it is being channeled down through the pharynx into the alimentary canal for further digestion.

The oral cavity is also a site for respiration and speech production.

It is made up of the teeth, hard and soft palate, tongue and other vital parts that play different roles in food digestion.

The function of the oral cavity does not include absorption monosaccharides.

But in 1860, archaeologists discovered a fossil of a highly detailed Archaropteryx lithographica (a bird-like dinosaur), which filled the void of the “transitional species” that scientists needed to link birds and reptiles. Since then, many fossils of feathered dinosaurs have been found.

disa [49]

Answer:

The original phagocyte secretes cytokines that attract other phagocytes

Explanation:

Before phagocytosis occurs and with the presence of an original phagocyte at the scratch site mostly a macrophage (also a phagocyte), chemical signals signals are given off to attract phagocytes to the scratch site.

These chemical signals may be cytokines that are given off by macrophages located in the tissue near the infection site etc. These cytokines produced can then stimulate the recruitment of phagocytes including the neutrophils and monocytes from the blood.
