Answer to Question 1

4
The mouth and stomach are used mostly for digestion. The small intestine is where most of the absorption of food nutrients occurs. Food is not directly absorbed into the bloodstream.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Cardinal signs of cellulitis include heat, redness, swelling, pain, and a glossy, stretched appearance of the skin. Thirst is not associated with cellulitis.
