Muscles that guard entrances and exits of internal passageways are ________ muscles.

Biology

The answer to the given question will be that the muscles that guard the entrances and exits of the internal passage are known as sphincter (circular muscles).

  • Due to their structure and controllability, skeletal circular muscles differ from their smooth muscle counterparts.
  • The muscularis mucosa, which is mostly found in the stomach, is composed of smooth muscle.
  • The longitudinal layer shortens the tract while the circular muscle layer in the muscularis externa prevents food from moving backward.The human body contains at least 50 or 60 different types of sphincters.
  • Some are quite small, like the many precapillary sphincters that line the circulatory system's blood vessels.
  • Lower esophageal sphincter (LES), pyloric sphincter (PS), ileocecal sphincter (ICS), and internal sphincter are the four different smooth muscle sphincters found in the GI system (IAS).

Hence, the answer is that the muscles that guard the entrances and exits of the internal passage are known as sphincter (circular muscles).

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Predators hunt prey. (Obviously). As such, they help control the population of that particular prey-species. If the predator species is removed from the equation, 2 times are changed. Long term & short term. Long term includes lower populations due to lack of resources. Short term includes overpopulation due to lack of threat.

Which of the statements regarding the cell cycle is true? Group of answer choices It is regulated by cyclins and CDKs. Different
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

All of these choices are correct.

Explanation:

Cell cycle is the process of growth and division of cell. It comprises of interphase and mitosis. In interphase the cell grows, replicates its genomic content and prepares itself for division. In mitosis the division occurs.

Cell cycle is controlled by a group of kinases called as Cyclin dependent Kinases (CDKs). They act by phosphorylating their substrates. They are of various types like Cdk1, Cdk2, Cdk4 etc. They become active when they bind to a regulatory protein called cyclin. They are also of various types like Cyclin A, Cyclin B, Cyclin C etc. Level of cyclin and corresponding CDK increases and decreases according to the stage of cell cycle. For example in S phase of cell cycle concentration of cyclin A and E shoots up. CDK2 is able to bind to these cyclin molecules and hence it becomes active.

Cell cycle has major checkpoints where the condition of cell is analysed before it proceeds to the next stage of cycle. If any abnormality is detected, repair mechanism is activated or the cell is killed. Checkpoints do not allow cell cycle to proceed in damaged cells.

p53 is a tumor suppressor protein which can halt cell cycle when it detects some abnormality in cell. It usually acts in G1/S checkpoint (before the DNA replication starts in cell) and G2/M checkpoint (before the cell division begins). Hence, all of the above statements are true.

Naily [24]

Answer:

Biological evolution

Explanation:

<em>Biological evolution is defined as the formation of complex organisms from single ancestral type over a large time period. Evolution believes that all living organisms descended from a common ancestor but not without modification.</em>

There are several evidence to support the theory of evolution including morphological evidence, paleontological evidence, biochemical evidence, among others.

The similarity in the structure and components of DNA of all living organisms is one of the evidence pointing to the fact that living organisms might truly have been from a common ancestor. In addition, all living organisms tend to use ATP largely as their source of energy, giving further credence to evolution theory.
