The Digestive System consists of the Alimentary Canal and various other organs whose primary function is to support the Digestive System.

The Alimentary Canal, is a long tube about 10 meters long which starts at the mouth and ends at the anus. This tube consists of multiple sections which each have their own specific functions to perform in the process of digestion. The sections of the Alimentary Canal in the order in which they process food are

the function of the lingual papillae are

The alimentary tract serves primarily to convert food into absorbable particles and to pass them on to the other organs of the body. These events are initiated by mechanical processes (fragmentation, mixing, transport) and the secretion of digestive juices containing enzymes, which act to split proteins, fats and carbohydrates by hydrolysis into constituents small enough to be absorbed (digestion). These end products of digestion, together with water, minerals and vitamins, then pass through the intestinal mucosa, from the lumen of the intestine into the blood and lymph (absorption).

Respiratory rate increased from 16 to 19 breaths per minute is  vital signs during activity would be the best indicator that the client is tolerating mild exercise.

Your body utilizes more oxygen during exercise and creates more carbon dioxide when your muscles perform harder. Your breathing has to increase from about 15 times per minute while you are resting to about 40–60 times per minute while you are exercising in order to meet this additional requirement. To supply the body with oxygen more quickly, breathing rate rises. To more effectively get the oxygen (and glucose) to the breathing muscles, the heart rate increases. These procedures call for oxygen. Because of this, when an activity is completed, a person's respiration and pulse rate do not immediately return to normal. The oxygen debt is the quantity of oxygen needed to flush out the lactic acid and replenish the body's oxygen stores.

Adenosine should be injected only via the IV route. The injection should be made close to an IV site, so as to flush each time with NS. The patient’s heart conditions should be monitored continuously on an ECG monitor and blood pressure machine. The dosage levels should match with the age appropriately. Adverse reactions of adenosine may include transient arrhythmias, bronchospasms, dyspnea etc.
