What is the name of the outer layer of the lungs that connects to the thoracic wall?

A. Reabsorption of potassium ions: Potassium reabsorption occurs in the nephron, not in the bladder.

B. Secretion of hormones: The bladder does not secrete hormones; its primary function is to store urine.

C. Storage of urine: The bladder is responsible for storing urine before it is excreted from the body.

D. Filtration of urine: Filtration occurs in the kidneys, specifically in the glomerulus, not in the bladder.

A. Pancreas: pancreas secretes enzymes such as amylase (for carbohydrate digestion), lipase (for fat digestion), and proteases (such as trypsin and chymotrypsin for protein digestion). These enzymes are secreted into the small intestine to aid in the digestion of chyme.

B. Stomach: Chyme is a semi-fluid mixture of partially digested food and digestive juices formed in the stomach. The stomach’s muscular contractions mix food with gastric secretions, resulting in this thick paste that is then gradually released into the small intestine for further digestion.

C. Small Intestine: While the small intestine further processes chyme through digestion and absorption, it does not produce it.

D. Large Intestine: The large intestine primarily absorbs water and electrolytes from indigestible food matter and forms waste, but it does not produce chyme.
