Answer: Thymus gland

Explanation:

The thymus gland is an endocrine gland that is located in the upper part of the human chest. It is responsible for producing white blood cells. This gland is located near the airway. The enlargement of the thymus gland can suppress the nearby structures. This may result in shortness of breath, and cough along with sputum. The thymus gland produces several endocrine hormones like thymopoietin and thymulin.

The given condition is indicative of the mass of the thymus gland.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option a and b.

Explanation:

The food is digested and absorbed in the small intestine, a long folded tube which lengths about 20 ft or 6m.  

The small intestine increases the surface area for food absorption as they have circular folding as well as the finger-like projections called villi and microvilli in the lumen of the intestine. These villi help in absorption of the nutrients from the intestine.

Thus, option a and b are the correct options.
