It provides the body with essential nutrients and water needed for energy, growth, and repair.
It helps the body breathe and exchange gases.
It sends signals throughout the body to control actions.
It protects the body from diseases.
Where does chemical and mechanical digestion begin in the human body?
The mouth
The stomach
The small intestine
The esophagus
Explain how the tongue and salivary glands work together to aid in the digestion of food.
The tongue chews food while the salivary glands absorb nutrients.
The tongue converts food to a bolus and the salivary glands secrete saliva to chemically digest carbohydrates and fats.
The tongue secretes saliva and the salivary glands break down proteins.
The tongue absorbs water and the salivary glands produce enzymes for fiber digestion.
Jane has been experiencing symptoms like heartburn, regurgitation and constipation. When Jane goes for an appointment, the doctor states she might be experiencing a gastric motility disorder. What mechanism is affected by this disorder:
Pericarditis
Perimenopause
Peritoneum

Explain how the production of gastric acids and digestive enzymes in the stomach contributes to the process of digestion.
They chemically break down food, making nutrients easier to absorb.
They increase blood flow to the stomach.
They help the stomach contract and move food to the intestines.
They produce energy for the body.
How are villi connected to the circulatory system?
Villi are connected to capillaries that absorb nutrients
Villi are connected to alveoli that aid in gas exchange
Villi are connected to veins that bring nutrients to the heart
Villi are connected to arteries that that bring nutrients away from the heart
Why is the absorption of water and electrolytes by the large intestine important for the body?
It helps maintain hydration and electrolyte balance
It increases blood sugar levels
It produces digestive enzymes
It prevents the absorption of nutrients
