Which of the following is required for evolution to occur in a population?

Match each structure on the left with the corresponding function on the right. Group of answer choices Chemically digests food,

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

1. Chemically digests food, absorbs nutrients and minerals from food - Small intestine

2. Breaks down and physically digests food - Stomach

3. Metabolizes nutrients, detoxifies blood, makes bile - Liver

4. Stores and concentrates bile - Gallbladder

5. Removes waste products and excess fluid - Kidney

6. Filtering structure of kidney - Nephron

7. Produces eggs and reproductive hormones - Ovary

8. Produces sperm and reproductive hormone - Testis

Explanation:

This question is asking to correctly match certain digestive organs with their respective function. The organs and their function are as follows:

- Small intestine: Small intestine is the major organ that digests food chemically, and also absorbs nutrients and minerals from food.

- Stomach: This breaks down and physically digests food.

- Liver is responsible for metabolizing nutrients, detoxification of blood, and making of bile.

- Gall bladder is a greenish yellow organ responsible for the storage and concentration of the bile produced by the liver.

- Kidney is the major excretory organ of the body, which removes waste products and excess fluid from the body.

- Nephrons are numerous filtering structure of the kidney.

- Ovary is the female reproductive organ that produces the eggs/ova and other reproductive hormone like oestrogen.

- Testis is the male reproductive organ that produces the sperm and other reproductive hormone like testosterone etc.

The defecation reflex __________. involves long and short reflexes and involves two positive feedback loops involves two positiv

ch4aika [34]

The defecation reflex involves two postive feedback loops. these loops are the stretch receptors in the rectal walls and the sacral parasympathetic system. Defecation reflex empties the rectum by peristaltic movements push fecal matter from the sigmoid colon into the rectum. Then this distension of the rectal walls stimulates stretch receptors which results in defecation.

Arrange the following structures in order from the small intestine to the rectum. (1) ascending colon (2) descending colon (3) s

Hitman42 [59]

Answer: in order from small intestine to the rectum: 1, 4, 2 and 3.

Explanation: Ascending colon; the colic valve(the ileocecal valve) is located at the bottom of the ascending colon. At the top of the ascending colon, the colon bends to the left, forming the right colic flexure called the hepatic flexure. The transverse colon begins after this flexure.

The transverse colon; is the longest and most movable part of the colon which runs across the abdomen from the ascending colon at the right colic flexure with a downward convexity to the descending colon, here it curves abruptly on itself under the lower end of the spleen to form left colic flexure called the splenic flexure.

Descending colon; it start from the splenic flexure to the beginning of the sigmoid colon. The descending colon stores the remnant of digested food that will be deposited into the rectum.

Sigmoid colon; also known as pelvic colo is the closest to the rectum, it is a passage by which digested food move into the rectum.
