Answer: A. Ascending and transverse colons

Explanation:

The ascending and transverse colons will be impaired due to injury because   Blood from the superior mesenteric artery and parasympathic nerve fibres from the vagus nerve is collected by the ascending and transverse colon.

However, blood from the lower mesenteric artery and parasympathic nerve fibres from the pelvic splanchnic nerve originating from sacral spinal nerves (S2-S4) is provided by the descending and sigmoid colons.

Hence, the correct answer is  A. "Ascending and transverse colons".

irina1246 [14]

The answer should be the "small intestine." 90% of digestion takes place in the small intestine and that's because that's during the process of digestion the small intestine sucks all of the nutrients out of the food then passes off the waste. Digestion starts as soon as you put food in your mouth because your saliva contains chemicals that breaks the food down.

Hope this helps!
