mkenna was very sick because not all of her body systems were working together properly. she was diagnosed with celiac disease. which of the following functions of her small intestines was most impacted by her disease?

• absorption
• digestion
• elimination
• ingestion

Explanation:

Celiac Disease damages the small intestine's lining, which is crucial for absorbing nutrients. Digestion involves breaking down food (more in stomach/small intestine enzymes but not the main impact here), elimination is for waste (large intestine), and ingestion is taking in food (mouth). So absorption is most impacted.

Answer:

A. Absorption
