Answer: By the help of the fluid delivered from the pancreas.

Explanation:

The human body is a very complex system consisting of many organ and organ system.

One of those systems is the the digestive system. By the help of this system the digestion and absorption of food takes place.

There are numerous number of enzymes involved in the digestion of the food released by various organs. The pancreatic and intestinal enzymes are secreted that work at alkaline pH, but the chyme that is secreted from the deodenum is slightly acidic yet they work together.

This is because pancreas pour enzyme into small intestine which is alkaline  and it then secretes huge amount of sodium bicarbonate which neutralizes the acidity of the stomach and makes the pH optimum for the digestion of food.

How is a mantle plume (hot spot) different from volcanoes in the Ring of Fire? How are they similar? Give one specific example o
riadik2000 [5.3K]

The difference between a hot spot volcano and the volcanoes from Ring of Fire can mainly be seen in the way of formation and functioning. The hot spot volcanoes are far away from any tectonic plate boundary and they manage to penetrate the crust over them and come out on the surface to usually create volcanic islands. The activity of the volcanoes from the Ring of Fire depends directly from the activity between the bordering tectonic plates, and as the borders move over time, the volcanoes stop existing, and new ones rise in the direction where the boundary moves.

The similarity can be seen in the type of eruptions, and that usually both types of volcanoes form volcanic islands.

Example for a hot spot volcano is Mauna Loa on Hawaii.
