Bell performed experiments to show that nerves of the body contain a mixture of sensory and motor fibers.

In his experiment he tested if the two spinal roots that originally originated from spinal nerve carry signals in opposite direction to each other just prior to their joining at the spinal cord. The dorsal roots generally joined the spinal cord from the back while the ventral roots joined the spinal cord from the front.

He experimented on animals by cutting the ventral roots and noticed muscular paralysis, later with more observation came to the conclusion that the ventral roots carry signals back to the muscles and are motor in nature. While the dorsal roots are sensory in nature thus the nerves in the body are a mixture of sensory and motor nerves.

To know more about sensory and motor fibers refer to the link below

Do photosynthesis and cellular respiration affect the level of carbon in the geosphere?
olga nikolaevna [1]

The answer is; YES they do

Photosynthesis is important in taking carbon from the atmosphere . This is why forest are great carbon sinks because they sequester carbon from the atmosphere. Cellular respiration, on the other hand, is the opposite of photosynthesis. It increases the levels of carbon in the atmosphere by breaking down carbon-based foods to carbon dioxide.

Hormones can act on the cell that produces them, neighboring cells and distant cells after passage in the blood. Discuss whether
algol [13]

Answer and Explanation:

Yes, a single molecule can work through all three effector route. Cells commonly lead independent lives, and they might influence and communicate with other cells for sexual mating. For example, yeast cells communicate with one another for mating. On the other hand, animal cells communicate by different kinds of signal molecules. These molecules include amino acids, nucleotides, proteins, small peptides, retinoid, and derivatives of fatty acids and also includes dissolved gases such as carbon monoxide and nitric oxide. In the extracellular spaces, most signal molecules are secreted by the signaling cells. Some signal molecules are exposed to the extracellular spaces, while others are released by diffusion. Target cells respond by a specific protein called receptors. Receptors bind the signal molecules and start response in the target cell. On the surface of target cells, receptors are transmembrane proteins. When receptors bind extracellular signal molecules, they stimulated and produced a flow of intracellular signals that initiate the cells' behavior.
