As food passes through the alimentary canal, the presence of chemical secretions will occur in which order?

1 answer:

6 0

The alimentary canal includes mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. As food passes through the alimentary canal, it is exposed to the different chemical secretions from the organs of the alimentary canal, as well as from other organs, such as liver and pancreas.
First, in the mouth, salivary glands produce saliva which <span>contains enzymes involved in the food digestions. After the food is passed to the esophagus, it produces mucus to help passage of the food. In the stomach, acid and pepsinogen, as well as mucus are produced. All of these secretions help food digestion. Small intestine also produces some digestive enzymes. Further, bile from liver and enzymes from pancreas are secreted via ducts into small intestine. Finally, large intestine secretes mucus for lubrication.</span>

noname [10]

Answer:

1. opening Voltage gated channels

2. Calcium

Explanation:

The signals are transmitted in the neurons in the form of electrical signals and which are transformed into the chemical signals at the synaptic cleft.

The electrical signal is transformed into a chemical signal when the electrical impulse reaches the terminal of the axon and opens the calcium voltage channels. The calcium which is present in a higher amount than inside enter into the terminal and allows fusion of the synaptic vesicle carrying neurotransmitter and the neurotransmitter is released into the synapse.

The neurotransmitter then binds the receptors and initiates the electrical impulse in the postsynaptic neuron.

Thus, opening Voltage gated channels and Calcium is the correct answer.

A checkered hen mates with a checkered rooster. The genes for the checkered trait are codominant in both parents. What are the c

iVinArrow [24]

There are 75% chances that their offsprings will be checkered.

Explanation:

The gene version allele is received by an individual and if they are different then the gene of the parent which is dominating is expressed in the offspring. However, in the case of co dominance the offspring gets the trait of both parent alleles.

So, in this case the mating of checkered rooster and checkered hen with co-dominance in their trait of genes will produce checkered offspring with a chance of 75 percent as can be calculated by the punnet square. The result will be 3 out of 4 checkered offspring.

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

plicae circulares and intestinal villi

Explanation:

The inner wall of the intestine is full of wrinkles, called villi. An enlargement of them under the microscope reveals that they are formed by cells whose surface has innumerable small "wrinkled" structures. The small intestine is the largest viscera of the body (about six meters). Intestinal villi and microvilli increase the area of contact with the intestine as well as the speed of absorption of food. Blood capillaries and lymph are in these villi to absorb nutrients.

The intestinal villi, have the function of increasing the absorption of nutrients after digestion. They are the folds of the intestines. The surface of the villi has an area of 12 cm² and the microvilli 240 cm².

Villi and microvilli increase the area of intestinal absorption by approximately 30 times and 600 times, respectively, providing exceptionally efficient absorption of nutrients in the lumen.

The entire small intestine has circular folds of mucosa, also called Kerckring valves and circular plicae. Most extend transversely around the small intestine cylinder for about half or two-thirds of its circumference, but some form complete circles, and some have a spiraling direction; The latter usually extend a little more than once around the bowel, but occasionally two or three times. Circular folds slow the passage of partially digested food along the intestines and provide an increased surface for absorption.
