Answer:

mouth

esophagus,

stomach

small intestine

The large intestine,

transverse colon

And the anus

Explanation:

The mouth is the entry point for food

The pharynx (throat) is the transition area from the mouth to the esophagus and once it enters the esophagus, food is moved down the esophagus and into our stomach.

From glands that line the stomach, acid, and enzymes are secreted that continue the breakdown process of the food

the small intestine has three segments. The first segment is the duodenum where the further breakdown of the food takes place. The next two parts of the small intestine (jejunum and ileum) are mostly responsible for the absorption of nutrients from the processed food into the bloodstream through the walls of the intestine.

the large intestine (colon) has four parts: ascending colon

ransverse colon, descending colon, and sigmoid colons phincter provides the control over releasing stool or holding it.

Hope that helps!

What are five body functions that monitor homeostasis?
KIM [24]

It regulates temperature, glucose, toxins, blood pressure, and pH.

<span>Temperature
The body must maintain a relatively constant temperature. If it gets too hot, the body employs vasodilation to cool down. This dilates the blood vessels, allowing more heat to escape from them through the skin.Glucose
The body must regulate glucose levels to stay healthy. When glucose levels become too high, the body releases a hormone called insulin. When they become too low, the body converts the glycogen in the blood to glucose.Toxins
Toxins in the blood can disrupt the body's homeostasis. Thus, it signals the urinary system to ensure that the toxins are excreted.Blood Pressure
The body must maintain healthy levels of blood pressure. To do so, the brain sends signals to the heart to speed up or slow down according to the blood pressure.pH
The lungs control the pH amount in the body. If pH levels become unbalanced, the lungs push more or less carbon dioxide out of the diaphragm. This can raise or lower pH levels in the body.</span>
