yes, Muscularis  mucosa - The stomach and small intestine's mucosa are pulled into undulating folds by a thin layer of smooth muscle that is constantly tensed. The surface area that is available for digestion and absorption is significantly increased by these folds.

The submucosa is located directly beneath the mucosa, as its name suggests. It joins the underlying muscularis to the overlaying mucosa by way of a large layer of dense connective tissue. It has blood and lymphatic vessels (which carry nutrients that have been absorbed), as well as a few submucosal glands that secrete digestive juices. Additionally, it functions as a passageway for the submucosal plexus, a densely branched network of nerves.

These layers compress to encourage mechanical digestion, expose more of the food to the chemicals that aid in digestion, and transport the food along the canal.

Which of the following correctly identifies the types of cell division describe in rows x and y
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

B. Row x describes meiosis and row y describes mitosis

Explanation:

  • <em><u>Mitosis is the process in which a cell divides to yield two daughter cells with same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. </u></em>The process takes place in the somatic cells or the body cells. For example, a cell with 14 chromosomes divides to produce two cells with 14 chromosomes.
  • <em><u>Meiosis on the other hand is the process in which a cell divides into four daughter cells that have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.</u></em> The process takes place in the germ line cells where gametes are produced. For example a cell undergoes meiotic division to produce four cells each with 7 chromosomes.
