,◉ How is pepsin used by the body?
A. To break down proteins
B. To break down starches
C. To emulsify fats and oils
D. To absorb water and nutrients. Answer: A. Pepsin aids chemical

◉ Which mineral supports the function of the thyroid?

D. Alveoli.. Answer: D. The alveoli are the tiny air sacs in the lungs
where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place.
◉ How do the intercostal muscles between the ribs assist with
respiration?
A. By protecting the delicate bronchioles and alveoli.
B. By signaling a decrease in intra-alveolar pressure.
C. By enlarging and reducing the space in the thorax.
D. By maintaining a medial separation between pleurae.. Answer: C.
The ribs themselves protect the lungs (choice A), but the intercostals
are muscles that expand and contract the chest, allowing it to draw
in and expel air.
◉ In which organ do muscles push food into the stomach via
