Answer:

Vegetative or autonomic nervous system.

Explanation:

This system regulates the processes in the body that we cannot consciously influence. It is constantly working and it can react quickly to changes, altering processes in the body to adapt. The involuntary nervous system is made up of three parts:  The sympathetic nervous system , The parasympathetic nervous system  and The enteric (gastrointestinal) nervous system.

  1. <u>Saliva:</u> the liquid in your mouth that lubricates food and begins to digest it.
  2. <u>Esophagus:</u> a muscular tube which transports food from the pharynx to the stomach.
  3. <u>Bowels:</u> the small and the large intestine.
  4. <u>Chyme:</u> partly digested food that is passed from the stomach to the small intestine.
  5. <u>Abdomen:</u> the cavity in your body located between the bottom of the rib cage and the hips.
  6. <u>Digestion:</u> the process by which food is converted into a form that can be used by cells.
  7. <u>Bladder:</u> a hollow, muscular organ at the bottom of the abdomen that holds and discharges urine.
  8. <u>Urine:</u> a liquid filtered from the blood by the kidneys and discharged from the body as waste.
  9. <u>Villi:</u> hair-like parts of the small intestine that absorb nutrients from food.

<h3>What is digestion?</h3>

Digestion can be defined as a form of catabolic activity that involves the breaking down of food into smaller sizes that can be absorbed as nutrients by the body of a living organism while releasing energy through the process.

Based on the digestive system, the body parts which are used for the digestion of a food in the human body include the following:

  • Mouth
  • Esophagus
  • Stomach
  • Small intestine
  • Large intestine
  • Villi
  • Abdomen

8. Edible vaccines, a more controversial approach to vaccine development, have been investigated by scientists. Plants can be ge
IceJOKER [234]
After some research I found the important parts mostly bolded

Advantages:

1) Although the technology at first seems like something done for convenience rather than being something of significant utility, the fact is that poorly developed nations like India which have a relatively poor vaccination program are most likely to benefit from such a vaccine.
This is also the reason why many of the projects mentioned here (including Arntzen's early work) have been funded by the WHO.


 

2) Mucosal immunity : The vaccines which are given parenterally (e.g. Intramuscularly) induce a systemic response but little or no local immune response in the GI tract. This so called "mucosal immunity " is increasingly being considered very important for defense against GI pathogens. ( Remember OPV..)

3) And of course, it's painless and convenient

 


Disadvantages:

1) The vaccine dose would be inadequate if the patient eats only one banana/potato instead of the recommended two. Furthermore, there might be difficulties in judging the dose itself since the amount of antigen in each fruit cannot be accurately measured.

2) The risk of introducing a new gene into the Plant DNA population is not known. The gene may jump species and propagate into other plants (or wild varieties of the same plants). 
This may cause unpredictable results including a decrease in the number or even extinction of a particular plant species due to growth stunting caused by the viral/bacterial gene. (This has been known to occur in research studies, including Arntzen's)

3)"Oral Tolerance":  In another concern, scientists need to be sure that vaccines meant to enhance immune responses do not backfire and suppress immunity instead. Research into a phenomenon called oral tolerance has shown that ingesting certain proteins can at times cause the body to shut down its responses to those proteins.
This may cause the body to become more susceptible to a particular disease agent rather than become immunized against it.
