Q

Function of small vs large intestine

A

Unlike the small intestine, the large intestine produces no digestive enzymes. Chemical digestion is completed in the small intestine before the chyme reaches the large intestine. Functions of the large intestine include the absorption of water and electrolytes and the elimination of feces.

Q

Adaptations required for flight

A
  • Forelimbs are modified into wings, humerus and short and bulky and digits are reduced
