Answer:
a. Mastication process and formation of bolus in the oral cavity
b. The contraction in the stomach breaks the food down into smaller pieces. These pieces are then moved to the small intestine.
c. In the small intestine, food particles are broken down into nutrients, fat, protein and carbohydrates which are absorbed into the bloodstream.
Explanation:
a. First step of digestive system functioning is the mastication process and formation of bolus in the oral cavity.
b. The contraction in stomach, with the help of digestive enzymes and acids, break the food down into smaller pieces. The small pieces of food are then released into the first part of the small intestine (duodenum).
c. In the small intestine, two enzymes released from pancreas and gall bladder break down the food particles into fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Thereon, nutrients and carbohydrates, proteins and fats are absorbed into the bloodstream.
Answer:
C. Acquired herniations of the muscular colon wall mucosa and submucosa
Explanation:
Hernia refers to the development of outgrowth or protrusion of all or part of the organs through their cavity walls or membrane. Diverticulosis is herniation of mucosa and submucosa of the wall of the colon. Diverticulosis is one of the conditions caused by the imbalance of homeostasis. Many sac-like outgrowths develop in the wall of the colon. The outgrowths are in the form of pouches and are called diverticula.
The out-pouching occurs where the muscularis layer of the wall of the colon has weakened. The people with diverticulosis may have no symptoms and no complications. However, when diverticulosis causes inflammation, the person experiences several complications such as pain, vomiting, nausea, etc.
The pulmonary circuit is the path that deoxygenated blood takes, which goes through the heart and to the lungs.
