Answer 2

The correct order is:

• Hormones signal that Monica is hungry.
• Monica eats a snack while reading a book.
• Parasympathetic stimulation activates peristalsis for mechanical digestion.
• Food is pushed through the stomach to the small intestine.
• Enzymes in the small intestine begin chemical digestion.

Explanation:

• The automatic or the 'involuntary nervous system' consists of three main segments which are: Sympathetic, Parasympathetic and Enteric nervous system.

• The enteric nervous system mainly controls the functioning of digestive system.

• Parasympathetic nervous system controls the intrinsic nervous system aided through Vagus nerve.

• Apart from that, the "hormonal functions of the digestive system" are also controlled by the nervous system.
