1- Pyloric sphincter
2-Duodenum
3- Bile duct
4-Pancreatic duct
5-Esophagus
6-Lower esophageal sphincter
7-Fundus of stomach
8- Cardia
9-Body of stomach
10-Pyloric part

The esophagus(5) connects to the stomach.
 The food passes,from the pharynx, to the esophagus, to the stomach. This process is aided by peristaltic movements done by esophagus muscles.
This organ contains two sphincters:the upper and the lower esophageal sphincter.

The stomach is divided into four parts:
1-The cardia (8) - this part is connected to the esophagus and its where the epithelium changes from stratified squamous to columnar.
In this region is the lower esophageal sphincter (6).

2--The fundus(7)- It's formed by the upper curvature of the stomach.

3- the body(9)- is the main part; and the biggest

4-The pylorus/ Pyloric part (10) - is the lower region. This part is connected to the small intestine, the duodenum. In this region there is a 
strong ring of muscle called the (1) Pyloric sphincter.

In the first part of the duodenum there is a connection with a duct that comes from the pancreas -4-Pancreatic duct .
There is another duct that ends in the duodenum called- Bile duct, that caries bile to digest fats.

Answer:

One thing that I can contribute to the NC State Community campus diversity is my culture and my background.

I’m a first-generation American born Nigerian. My parents are from Nigeria and relocated to America some years before I was born. This as lead to basically two influences in my life, the influence of the Nigerian culture from my parents and my community, and the influence of the U.S. culture.

Basically, these are the two influences in my life, I had to mix the varying unique ways to living into one and take good advantage of life out of both worlds.

At majority of the time, my beliefs align with the beliefs of a typical Nigerian but at other times I see myself conflicted due to the varying or separate backgrounds.

I believe in living a day at a time and to enjoy the present moment so as to get the best from both backgrounds which has structured me into the person I am today.

Elena L [17]

Answer: LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS

Explanation:

Exponential growth can be define as the increase in per capita growth of the population when the resources available are surplus. A limiting factor is the one which is capable of limiting the growth, abundance and distribution of population of species. Predator populations, habitat conditions and food resources all are examples of limiting factors which can limit the growth of population exponentially.

Laboratory experiments cannot be consider as limiting factor hence, are not responsible for limiting the exponential growth.
