Bile Juice is poured into the alimentary canal that is necessary for the absorption of?

A)
Na and Ca

B)
Fat soluble vitamins

C)

Explanation :

Bile juice is bitter, greenish liquid is produced in the liver and deposits in the gallbladder, which dissolve fat.

Vermiform appendix of alimentary canal is made up of?

A)
Digestive tissue

B)
Respiratory tissue

C)
Excretory tissue

D)
Lymphatic tissue


Correct Answer :

Lymphatic tissue


Explanation :

The appendix is ​​located in the lower right side of your stomach. It is a finger-shaped, thin, nearly 4 inch tall tube, which is part of your gastrointestinal tract.
The appendix a special type of tissue that is connected to the lymphatic system, which takes the necessary white blood cells to fight the infection.

The appendix does not help directly with digestion. It is not clear what role the appendix has in the body, and removal of the organ doesn't show any negative health consequences.

Sometimes, the appendix can become inflamed and infected, which result of an abdominal infection that has spread to the tiny organ, or some kind of obstruction that has blocked the small opening of the appendix.the resulting condition called appendicitis.

The infection or inhibition causes the bacteria in the appendix to grow out of control, and the organ can fill with pus and swell. which causes acute abdominal pain and other GI symptoms, including vomiting and diarrhea.
Removal of the appendix (an appendectomy) is often the necessary course of action, although antibiotics may be recommended and used to treat the infection without the need for surgical intervention that depending on the severity of the case and other health of the patient.

If the problem is left untreated, the pressure in the organ will increase until the appendix ruptures, or bursts.When the appendix bursts, it spreads its content throughout the abdomen, potentially infecting the peritoneum, which is the silk-like membrane that lines the abdominal cavity. A peritoneum infection, called peritonitis, can then lead to sepsis, a complication that's potentially deadly if not treated aggressively.

2. Chlorophyll B: It absorbs some blue light and some red light.

Photosystem most aborbs infrared and red light (540nm-630nm) and this is the reason that photosynthesis is maximum in red light.

D)
Catabolic


Correct Answer :

Anabolic


Explanation :

Anabolic processes are the processes that form compounds. That means higher energy bonds are created.

This can cause jaundice and other, more serious complications in the new born, including possible heart failure.

treatment
If a baby experiences erythroblastosis fetalis in the womb, treatments include blood transfusion, IV fluid, immunoglobin, and address any difficulty in breathing to new born.

prevention
A preventive treatment known as RhoGAM or Rh immunoglobulin, by providing Rh immunoglobin to a pregnant woman to can reduce a mother’s reaction to their baby’s Rh+ve positive blood cells, blocking Rh sensitization can help prevent the situation.
