The duodenum is the first section of the small intestine, and it is the primary site for the chemical digestion of chyme and the absorption of most nutrients. While some absorption occurs throughout the small intestine, and the stomach digests food, the duodenum is where the bulk of nutrient uptake into the bloodstream happens.

4. Which of the following best describes the movement of an action potential along a neuron's axon?
✓ saltatory conduction

Instead of continuously traveling along the entire axon membrane, the electrical impulse 'jumps' from one node of Ranvier (gaps in the myelin sheath) to the next. This jumping mechanism significantly increases the speed of nerve impulse transmission, allowing for rapid communication within the nervous system.
