Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

The structures of the digestive system include the oral cavity, the pharynx, the
esophagus, the stomach, the small intestine, the large intestine, the rectum, the
anus, the liver, the gallbladder, and the pancreas.
The digestive process includes both the physical movement of food down the
digestive tract and the secretion of enzymes and fluids. The teeth chew the
food, the salivary glands secrete saliva, and the stomach holds and mixes the
food. The small intestine is responsible for most digestive and absorptive roles.
The major role of the large intestine is to reabsorb water, minerals, and bile
salts. The rectum stores the waste, and the anus allows for elimination. The liver
produces bile, the gallbladder stores it, and the pancreas adds bicarbonate and
enzymes to the chyme in the small intestine for the final phase of digestion.
When digestion is completed, starches and sugars have been broken down into
monosaccharides, and lipids have been disassembled into glycerol, fatty acids,
and monoglycerides. The long-chain fats enter the lymphatic system. The
monosaccharide and short-chain fatty acids are sent to the liver for use in metabolism.
Proteins are broken down into amino acids and then absorbed, and
the amino acids travel through the blood to the liver to be used by the body.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
