1.What are lungs made up of?
2.What is one function of the rennin?
3.Where is water and mineral salts absorbed?
4.What are the two digestive juices in the small intestine?
5.What are 3 symptoms of Kwashiorkor?
I really need to know the answers to these questions,thank you so much!
I will be happy to critique your thinking and answers. We don't do your assignments for you.
not an assignment actually.
Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "Kwashiorkor" to get these possible sources:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwashiorkor
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/MEDLINEPLUS/ency/article/001604.htm
You can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. Also see http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/. Try it with your other questions.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
Actually,I don't really know if I spelled the word correct though,sorry.Because I checked the book of another kid in my class and he spelt it different he spelt it-kwashiakor-but thanks so much for your help!
1. Lungs are made up of a combination of several types of tissues. The main components of the lungs are bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli. The bronchi are the airways that lead from the trachea (windpipe) into each lung. Bronchioles are smaller branches that extend from the bronchi, and they eventually terminate in tiny air sacs called alveoli. The alveoli are the functional units of the lungs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place.
To find the answer to this question, you can consult medical physiology textbooks or reputable online resources such as educational websites or reliable health sources. Look up "anatomy of the lungs" or "structure of the respiratory system."
2. Rennin, also known as chymosin, is an enzyme produced in the stomach of young mammals, including humans, to aid in the digestion of milk. Its main function is to curdle or coagulate milk, thus making it easier to digest. Rennin helps break down the proteins in milk, allowing for better absorption of nutrients.
To find the answer to this question, you can refer to biology or physiology textbooks, or search online using keywords such as "function of rennin" or "role of rennin in digestion."
3. Water and mineral salts are primarily absorbed in the small intestine, specifically in the final sections known as the jejunum and the ileum. These parts of the small intestine contain specialized structures called villi and microvilli, which provide a large surface area for absorption. Water and mineral salts pass through the mucosal layer of the small intestine and are then absorbed into the bloodstream for distribution throughout the body.
To find the answer to this question, you can refer to anatomy and physiology textbooks or search online using keywords such as "absorption in the small intestine."
4. The two main digestive juices in the small intestine are intestinal juice and pancreatic juice.
- Intestinal juice: This digestive fluid is produced by the walls of the small intestine. It contains enzymes like maltase, sucrase, and lactase, which help break down complex carbohydrates into smaller sugars for absorption.
- Pancreatic juice: This digestive fluid is produced by the pancreas and enters the small intestine through the pancreatic duct. It contains various enzymes, such as pancreatic amylase, lipase, and proteases (like trypsin and chymotrypsin), which help break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins for absorption.
To find the answer to this question, you can consult biology textbooks or search online using keywords such as "digestive juices in the small intestine."
5. The symptoms of Kwashiorkor, a severe form of malnutrition, typically include:
- Edema: Swelling of the limbs, face, and abdomen due to fluid retention caused by a lack of protein in the diet.
- Fatigue and muscle wasting: Weakness, decreased muscle mass, and reduced energy levels.
- Changes in hair and skin: Hair may become thin, brittle, or change color, and the skin can become dry, rough, and discolored.
To find information about the symptoms of Kwashiorkor, you can search online using keywords such as "symptoms of Kwashiorkor" or refer to medical textbooks or reputable health sources.
