The small intestine utilizes enzymes produced where?
all of these are correct |
|
small intestine |
|
pancreas |
|
liver |
The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.

Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds composed of ice crystals. At what elevation to cirrus clouds form?
low-altitude |
|
mid-altitude |
|
high-altitude |
|
ground level |
Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.
Blood is delivered to bodily tissues through:
capillaries |
|
arterioles |
|
plasma |
|
veins |
The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
