Food starts to move through your GI tract when you eat. When you swallow, your tongue pushes the food into your throat. A small flap of tissue, called the epiglottis, folds over your windpipe to prevent choking and the food passes into your esophagus.
Esophagus. Once you begin swallowing, the process becomes automatic. Your brain signals the muscles of the esophagus and peristalsis begins.
Lower esophageal sphincter. When food reaches the end of your esophagus, a ringlike muscle—called the lower esophageal sphincter —relaxes and lets food pass into your stomach. This sphincter usually stays closed to keep what’s in your stomach from flowing back into your esophagus.
Stomach. After food enters your stomach, the stomach muscles mix the food and liquid with digestive juices. The stomach slowly empties its contents, called chyme, into your small intestine.
Small intestine. The muscles of the small intestine mix food with digestive juices from the pancreas, liver, and intestine, and push the mixture forward for further digestion. The walls of the small intestine absorb water and the digested nutrients into your bloodstream. As peristalsis continues, the waste products of the digestive process move into the large intestine.
Large intestine. Waste products from the digestive process include undigested parts of food, fluid, and older cells from the lining of your GI tract. The large intestine absorbs water and changes the waste from liquid into stool. Peristalsis helps move the stool into your rectum.
Rectum. The lower end of your large intestine, the rectum, stores stool until it pushes stool out of your anus during a bowel movement.
The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:
Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.
Neurons transmit signals to the central nervous system. The brain processes this information to initiate a response. Two neurons communicate with each other through the ( axon , dendrite, synapse) . The ( cerebrospinal cord, glial cell, neurotransmitter) is released at the site to initiate action potential and carry the signal through the body.
Answer:
synapse
neurotransmitter
Explanation:
Neurons are the basic units for the transmission of signals to the central nervous system. The two neurons are connected through the syanpse. Synapse is the space or junction between two nerve cells, or neurons.
The neuron receives signals through dendrites and two neurons communicate with each other through a chemical called neurotransmitter, which is released at the end of a nerve fibre and carry the signal through the body.
Hence, the correct answers are synapse and neurotransmitter.
My best answer would be the rising of sea levels would mostlikely be the outcome of increased global temperature.
1- they can be used as domestic fuel for cooking instead of kerosene or firewood that contribute to pollution
2-they can also used to generate electricity in rural areas as these areas has not enough resources of electricity
<span>The best place would be far away from a cliff and the worst would be right on top of a cliff or some sort of land such as a beach or directly beneath it. At anytime, gravity will cause mass wasting, in other words the rock and soil will just break apart.</span>
