Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The gastric juices helps in the digestion of the food but the pH of the these juices can affect the inner lining of the stomach if there would have no mucus secretion from the epithelial cells.

The low pH would have been destroyed the lining of stomach and this can result in the causing ulcer. To prevent this the walls of the stomach has epithelial cells that secretes sticky secretion known as mucus.

NO SCAM FILES!!! Hey! i need help! Can you help me with this?? 30 points and brainlest!
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Regulation / Homeostasis  you get too hot or too cold:

  If you get either too hot or too cold, sensors in the periphery and the brain tell the temperature regulation center of your brain—in a region called the hypothalamus—that your temperature has strayed from its set point.

Your diaphragm expands and contracts so you can breathe:

  When you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts and moves downward. This increases the space in your chest cavity, and your lungs expand into it. The muscles between your ribs also help enlarge the chest cavity. They contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.

 

Nutrient Absorption

The reactants needed for cellular respiration are taken in and transported to your cells:

cellular respiration requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. It is the released oxygen that is used by us and most other organisms for cellular respiration. We breathe in that oxygen, which is carried through our blood to all our cells.

Defense from Illness

A pathogen enters your body through a cut:

The skin and mucous membranes act as a physical barrier preventing penetration by microbes. If the skin is cut then the blood produces a clot which seals the wound and prevents microbes from entering.

Defense from Injury

A bunny is running away from a wolf:

Rabbits have keen senses of smell, sight and hearing, which help them defend themselves from danger. When they sense a nearby predator, they innately freeze in place to camouflage with the landscape.

Your hand gets too close to a flame:

Skin is difficult to ignite, and usually chars in the presence of heat. It takes up to 10 minutes of direct flame for skin to crack open and start leaking out rendered fat. Even if a horse's body started to leak fat, it would be unlikely to go up in flames on its own.

Reproduction

A woman’s body prepares for a pregnancy:

Every month, usually one egg grows within a structure called the egg follicle (a fluid filled sac that nourishes the egg). The follicle produces estrogen, which helps a woman's body prepare for pregnancy by growing a new lining for the uterus.

A woman’s body prepares for a birth:

As your body prepares for birth, your cervix — the muscular ring between your uterus and vagina — begins to soften, dislodging the mucous plug.
