Prepare for and carry out extended feeding techniques. 1.1 Explain the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal tract in relation to extended feeding. every part of the gastrointestinal tract is designed to help in the digestive process in a specific way. The mouth is involved in chewing also know as masticating. The purpose is to break down food into small enough pieces to pass through the esophagus and enter the stomach. The food is moistened with saliva helping turning it into bolus in

Anthrax can enter and affect the body via the skin‚ the lungs or gastrointestinal tract. The first one‚ the skin‚ is the least deadly.
