Answer:

C. facilitates the absorption of vitamin B12.

Explanation:

The Intrinsic factor is a substance that is produced by the stomach and it has the important function of producing vitamin B12 which is necessary for life. Vitamin B12 is used in the production of mature red blood cells. It also improves the function of the nervous system. The production of this intrinsic factor is a very vital role of the stomach because, in the absence of a stomach, for example, in the case of a gastrectomy, a person can only survive if he is given injections of Vitamin B12.

The stomach also serves as a holding center for food and eventually delivers the food to the small intestine and the duodenum.

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

5;15

Explanation:

Local muscular strength and local muscular endurance are two important qualities of muscle functioning. The maximum weight a muscle can lift is indicated by Local muscular strength while the number of repetitions of particular task a muscle can perform without being exhausted is indicated by local muscular endurance. These both tasks are frequently used in our daily life

For example if you can pull 50 kg weight that would be your local muscle strength and if u can pull it 20 times that would be your local muscle endurance.

While performing the the intensity of resistance exercise during assessment if you pull the 50 kg weight less than 5 times it would be considered as local muscular strength and if you pull it greater than 15 times it would be considered as local muscular endurance.

Choose all of the items needed to complete a circuit ​
Kruka [31]

The items needed to complete a circuit include the following:

  • Wire
  • Battery
  • Load
  • Switch

<h3>Functions of the parts of a Circuit.</h3>

The wire helps in the distribution of the electric current from the power

source in order to ensure it gets to the load.

The battery contains compounds which is responsible for providing the

energy required to power up the load.

The load could be a bulb, fan etc and is the final destination of the electric

current. The electric current powers up the load and makes it functional.

The switch helps to regulate the flow of electric current and has an 'on and

off button' to prevent energy wastage when not in use.
