e) what is the little thing that hangs in the back of the throat and what is its function
f) what is the function of tonsils
a) Pancreas - The pancreas produces digestive enzymes that help break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in the small intestine during chemical digestion.
b) Liver - The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gall bladder and released into the small intestine to help emulsify fats, making them easier to digest.
c) Gall Bladder - The gall bladder stores and concentrates bile produced by the liver and releases it into the small intestine when needed for fat digestion.
d) Appendix - The function of the appendix is not entirely clear, but it is thought to play a role in the immune system and may also serve as a reservoir for beneficial gut bacteria. It is not directly involved in chemical digestion.
e) The little thing that hangs in the back of the throat is the uvula. Its function is not fully understood, but it is believed to play a role in speech and swallowing.
f) The function of tonsils is to help protect the body from infection by trapping germs that enter the mouth and throat. They are part of the immune system and produce white blood cells to fight off infections.
