After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis, responsible for preventing food from entering the airway.
The liver produces bile which emulsifies (separates) fat.
Small quantities of certain minerals like iron, calcium, magnesium, and salt are important for nutrition and health.
A substance undergoes a phase transition when it moves from one state of matter to another, for example, when water freezes or boils.
Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.
