Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution
In the digestive system there are many organs. It starts from the mouth or the buccal cavity and ends at anus. All the organs have different functions. The lists of various organs involved in the digestive system are as follows:
- 1. Buccal cavity: It is the cavity of the mouth. Food is chewed and masticated and grinded by the teeth and its digestion starts with the action of a carbohydrate lytic enzyme called the ptyalin or the salivary amylase.
- 2. Esophagus: It is a long narrow tube from where the food passes to the stomach for further digestion.
- 3. Stomach: It is a pouch like structure where the digestion of food materials. The secretion of hydrochloric acid apart from some enzymes which helps in digestion of the food substances like the proteins, carbohydrates, fats and so on.
- 4. Small intestine: It is a long and highly convoluted tubular structure. In this part of digestive system where the absorption of vital nutrients and minerals takes place. It is also the last site where the digestion takes place.
- 5. Large intestine: It is also a tubular structure. Here only the final absorption of mainly water and the essential nutrients takes place. No digestion takes place in the large intestine.
- 6. Anus: It is that part of the digestive system from where the waste, unwanted fecal, and the undigested matter are excreted out of the body.

Q8. A researcher wants to study the effectiveness of a pill intended to reduce stomach heartburn in pregnant
women. The researcher chooses randomly 400 women to participate in this experiment for 9 months of their
pregnancy period. They all need to have the same diet. The researcher designs two groups of 200 participants:
One group take the real medication intended to reduce heartburn, while the other group take placebo
medication. In this study what are:
Independent variable:
Dependent variable:
Control variable:
Experimental group: "
Control group:
If the participants do not know who is consuming the real pills and who is consuming the sugar pills.
This study is
It happens that 40% of the participants do not find the treatment helpful and drop out after 6 months.
The researcher throws out the data from subjects that drop out. What type of bias is there in this study?
If the company who makes the medication funds this research, what type of bias might exist in this
research work?
