    The liver does not help in the process of taking care of drugs, alcohol, and other chemicals.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The liver plays a crucial role in processing drugs, alcohol, and other chemicals in the body. It metabolizes and detoxifies these substances, breaking them down into less harmful components that can be eliminated from the body. Without the liver's involvement, these substances would accumulate and cause harm to the body. Therefore, the statement that the liver does not help in the process of taking care of drugs, alcohol, and other chemicals is false.

    Correct Answer
    A. Trachea
    Explanation
    The trachea is the tube in the respiratory system that carries air from the throat to the bronchi. It is commonly known as the windpipe. The trachea is made up of cartilage rings that help keep it open and prevent it from collapsing. It is lined with tiny hair-like structures called cilia that help to trap and remove any foreign particles or mucus from the air before it reaches the lungs. The trachea plays a vital role in the process of respiration by allowing the passage of air into the lungs.

    Correct Answer
    capillaries
    Explanation
    Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in the circulatory system that connect the arteries and veins. They are responsible for the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products between the blood and the surrounding tissues. Capillaries have thin walls which allow for the diffusion of substances, making them ideal for this exchange. They are found throughout the body, forming an extensive network that ensures every cell receives the necessary nutrients and oxygen while removing waste products.

    Your body's food waste is transported out of the body by the           

    Correct Answer
    colon
    Explanation
    The colon is responsible for transporting food waste out of the body. It is part of the digestive system and plays a crucial role in the final stages of digestion. The colon absorbs water and electrolytes from the remaining food matter, forming solid waste or stool. The stool is then transported through the colon and eventually eliminated from the body through the rectum and anus.
