Explain how microscopic and macroscopic anchoring of muscle filaments enables you to bend your elbow.

1 answer:

7 0

The development and dissolution of cross-bridges connecting myosin head binding actin ratchet the thin and the thick filaments past one another in response to nervous system motor output. The muscle fibers get shorter as a result of this sliding movement since the filaments are anchored.

<h3>Briefing:</h3>

Muscle contractions attached to a hard endoskeleton are necessary for human body movements. Tendons connect muscles to bones, which are made of fibers that are built up from the sarcomere, a basic structural component. Within the sarcomere, the thin and the thick filaments have different places of attachment. Myosin head and actin cross-bridges develop and break in response to nervous system motor output, ratcheting the thin and the thick filaments past one another. This sliding motion shortens individual muscle fibers because filaments are attached..

Additionally, muscular contraction causes the boy's bones to shift in relation to one another as the fibers themselves are a component of the muscles and are related to bones at either end. Thus, muscle function—such as the bending of either an elbow by contracting the biceps—is made possible by the structural anchoring between muscles and filaments.

Predict how predation might evolve. For example, a parasite might evolve to become less virulent so that it doesn’t kill so many

IgorC [24]

Answer:

<u>Evolution in the Parasitism:</u> Parasites are mostly the microorganisms which lives in other organisms and develops there body as whole inside its host.As a parasite needs the nourishment and resources of its host cell to grow, or develop. But, it can also involves the damage or the destruction of its host cell as whole or the genome of the host cell can be damaged by its efforts.

Explanation:

<u>Parasite as a predator:</u>

We can simply say, that a parasitic body is much smaller to any other predator but it too consumes all or some of the energy which is the host body posses. As there are some parasites which lives in the gut and the liver of the beings and they get the required energy from the host's body for there own growth and development. The parasites are also involved in changing the cycle of mechanism or function of the host in which it lives inside.

<u>Endoparasites:</u>

The endoparasites requires another body or vessel through which it is transmitted from one point to the other. And the parasites then lives in the body or premises provided by that specific host's body. As the plasmodium which is the protozoa, is transmitted from one body to another with the help of mosquito acting as a vessel for its transmission. Some other types of the endoparasites which grows and damage the host's body are tapeworm,heart-worm, and flatworm in general.

<u>Hyperparasites:</u>

The type of parasites which is also acting as the host for another parasite living inside its body. As we have the example of the, protozoans which are found in the gut of the fleas, while the fleas are again acting as the parasite inside the dog's body.

Answer: Eating a diet high in saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol has been linked to heart disease and related conditions, such as atherosclerosis. Also too much salt (sodium) in the diet can raise blood pressure. Not getting enough physical activity can lead to heart disease.

Explanation: Diet is an important risk factor in coronary heart disease. Heavy drinking may well increase heart attack, heart failure, stroke, and high blood pressure. A limit for men is 2 drinks a day, for women 1 drink a day.

the skull forms a solid sheet of protection and the ribs form a cage. why do you think the rib cage is not a solid sheet like th

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

I think the the ribs are not a solid sheet because they need to be able to expand so the lungs can get an adequate amount of air in the lungs. The brain just needs to be protected and doesn’t need to expand so it’s a solid sheet. The skull seems to be the better protector at first because the ribs can break and puncture a lung, harming your breathing but if you do hit your head your brain can start swelling and the skull doesn’t allow any room for expansion. Head injuries are much more dangerous, especially if the brain starts swelling. Rib injuries seem much simpler to fix and less dangerous.
