Answer:-

In reaction to the smell, sight, or thought of food, the first hormonal response is that of salivation ( starts making saliva )  The salivary glands secrete more saliva in response to the stimulus presented by food in preparation for digestion. Simultaneously, the stomach begins to produce hydrocholoric acid to digest the food  

The salivary glands are glands inside a person's mouth and throat that produce the watery and mucous-containing fluid known as saliva. Saliva is constantly released into our mouth to keep it lubricated and to help us chew and swallow food. There are three pairs of salivary glands: sublingual, parotid and submaxillary

and for the end the main digestive enzymes in your body are : -

1- Amylase, produced in the mouth. It helps break down large starch molecules into smaller sugar molecules.

2- Pepsin, produced in the stomach. Pepsin helps break down proteins into amino acids.

3- Trypsin, produced in the pancreas. Trypsin also breaks down proteins

4- Pancreatic lipase, produced in the pancreas. It is used to break apart fats.

5- Deoxyribonuclease and ribonuclease, produced in the pancreas. They are enzymes that break bonds in nucleic acids like DNA and RNA

If you have a heat engine with a hot reservoir of 515°C and a cold reservoir of 190°C, what is the thermal efficiency of the sys
DENIUS [597]

The equation for the thermal efficiency of a system is given by n = Tc/Thx100 where n is the thermal efficiency, Tc is the temperature of the cold reservoir and Th is the temperature of the hot reservoir. Dividing 190 by 515 gives us an efficiency of 36.9%.

Distinguish between systolic and diastolic blood pressure
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Blood pressure is usually defined as the pressure exerted by the blood that circulates on the walls of blood vessels. This pressure is created when the heart pumps blood continuously throughout the circulatory system.

The blood pressure have two numbers, one at the top and one at the bottom. The number showing at the top shows the amount of pressure exerted on the arteries when the muscles associated with the heart gets contracted. This is commonly considered as the systolic pressure. On the other hand, the number at the bottom shows the amount of pressure that is exerted by the heart muscles between the heart beats and this is known as the diastolic pressure.

The systolic blood pressure is more important compared to the diastolic blood pressure because it enables the person who measures the blood pressure or a doctor, to determine the risk of having a heart attack.
