    Taste buds loose sensitivity causing decreased in appetite. What is this? _________________________.

    Correct Answer
    Gastrointestinal System
    Explanation
    Taste buds losing sensitivity and causing a decrease in appetite is a symptom related to the gastrointestinal system. The gastrointestinal system includes the organs involved in the digestion process, such as the stomach and intestines. When taste buds become less sensitive, it can affect the enjoyment of food, leading to a decreased desire to eat. This can have an impact on the overall functioning of the gastrointestinal system and the body's ability to properly digest and absorb nutrients.

    What colors is it easier for the older person to see?

    Correct Answer
    red and orange
    Explanation
    As people age, their eyes undergo changes that affect their ability to perceive colors. The cones in the eyes, which are responsible for color vision, become less sensitive, especially to colors in the blue and green spectrum. On the other hand, red and orange colors are easier for older individuals to see because they have longer wavelengths and are more easily detected by the remaining functioning cones in the eyes. Therefore, red and orange colors stand out more and are more visible to older people compared to other colors.

    The _______ is the muscular organ in the female reproductive system where a fertilized egg implants and develops during pregnancy.

    Correct Answer
    Uterus, uterus
    Explanation
    The uterus, also known as the womb, is a hollow, pear-shaped organ located in the female pelvis. Its primary function is to nourish and protect a developing fetus during pregnancy. The inner lining of the uterus, called the endometrium, thickens each month in preparation for a potential pregnancy. If fertilization occurs, the fertilized egg implants in the endometrium, and the uterus provides the environment for the fetus to grow and develop.  Sources and related content
