Why taenia solium is not digested by human intestines?

Biology
1 answer:
Rina8888 [55]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

that's an pretty interesting question

Explanation:

For the simple reason that no digestion takes place in the human intestines. Digestion takes place in the stomach. Intestines are where the nutrients are absorbed into the body, and the conditions there are much more favourable for parasites like tapeworms. The stomach produces hydrochloric acid strong enough to burn a hole in a rug and is also home to lot of other strong digestive enzymes. Any tapeworm venturing there would get digested in seconds.

Look at the two images of cells.
BartSMP [9]

Explanation:

A)Image A represents a peptide hormone that interacts with a receptor, and image B represents a steroid hormone that interacts with the cell’s DNA

The endocrine system involves chemical signalling via the secretion of molecules called hormones into extracellular fluid.

  • Steroid hormones are lipophilic, and readily diffuse across cell membranes. They bind to receptors in the interior of the cell to form a complex which regulates gene expression.
  • Peptide hormones however,are hydrophilic, and thus cannot readily diffuse across the membrane. They remain outside the cell, binding to receptors which then activate secondary messenger signalling and a subsequent cellular response.

Further Explanation:

Hormones bind to chemical receptors in order to cause specific changes in target cells, these lead to changes in the body's internal environment called homeostasis. It includes the thyroid, parathyroid, pituitary, pineal and adrenal glands along with other regions.

The bone, adipose tissue, heart, pancreas and liver are a few of the regions of the body which show endocrine function. The brain, or control center functions to receive and process the information from the receptor. Effectors receive the control center's command and elicits a response in the form of a feedback loop, that may oppose or enhance the stimulus.

Cells in a multicellular organism become specialized for particular tasks and communicate with one another in order to maintain homeostasis. Within the human body these are known as hormone cascades, where several complex steps occur- the tissues signal to one another with the use of hormones released by the endocrine system. The regulation (increase and decrease) of these secretions is achieved by negative feedback loops, where the release of certain substances during a cascade in turn halts the secretion of hormones at earlier stages.

What initiates the micturition reflex? a. Stretch receptors in the wall of the urinary bladder signal the sacral region of the s
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is a. Stretch receptors in the wall of the urinary bladder signal the sacral region of the spinal cord.

Explanation:

The answers that take place automatically and quickly are called reflexes. When the smooth muscle in the bladder wall is stretched, the micturition reflex is triggered. Micturition (Urination) is the act of emptying the bladder (urinating). When the bladder is full of urine, the bladder wall stretch receptors trigger the micturition reflex. The detrusor muscle surrounding the bladder contracts. The internal urethral sphincter relaxes and allows urine to leave the bladder and pass into the urethra. Those two reactions are involuntary. The external urethral sphincter is voluntary. You must relax so that the urine passes through the urethra and leaves the body.
