Where does digestion begin?
Mouth
Rectum
Stomach
Esophagus
Small intestine - Answer: Mouth
What is not a function of the digestive system?
Ingestion of nutrients
Absorption of nutrients
Long-term storage of nutrients Movement of nutrients
Breakdown of nutrients - Answer: Long-term storage of
,nutrients
Which membrane is responsible for the covering of organs and
linings of internal body cavities?
Basement membranes
Mucous membranes
Serous membranes
Cutaneous membranes
Synovial membranes - Answer: Serous membranes
