At short focusing distances, ciliary muscles contract causing the suspensory ligaments to tighten.

The ciliary muscle is an integral muscle of the eye that is constructed as a ring of smooth muscle in the middle layer of the eye, the uvea (vascular layer). It regulates the passage of aqueous humor into Schlemm's canal and governs accommodation for observing objects at different distances.

A suspensory ligament is a ligament that provides support to a body part, particularly an organ. The suspensory ligament protects the fetlock from hyperextension (i.e., falling too low) during exercise. The ligament begins in both the fore and hindlimbs at its connection to the back of the upper cannon bone.

When the ciliary muscle relaxes, its diameter increases; when the suspensory ligaments tighten, the lens becomes thinner. This occurs when concentrating on a celestial object. When the ciliary muscle contracts, the lens becomes much more circular and has more focusing power because the pressure on the zonular fibers is reduced. When the ciliary muscles relax, these fibers contract, pulling the lens out and creating a flatter shape with less focusing power

KiRa [710]

Answer:

corrugated cardboard tube - digestive tract

irregular surfaces on the corrugated tube - villi

pump - heart

Plastic tubing - blood vessels

Explanation:

The corrugated cardboard tube represents the digestive tract.  The give away was the presence of the irregular surfaces within the tubes. This is called the villi. The villi is responsible for the absorption of food after digestion into the body.

Irregular surfaces on the corrugated tube represent the villi. They are tiny hair-like structures that are in the small intestine, that are responsible for the absorption of food into the bloodstream.

The pump represents the heart. The heart is the only organ in the body that provides the pressure force that pushes the blood throughout the body. In this model, the pump will most likely be performing the same function.

The plastic tubings are meant to contain one form of fluid or the other. Judging from that, they can be said to represent the blood vessels. This is because they are connected to the heart and are meant to transport bodily fluids around the body

Eukaryotic cells have a large complex cytoskeleton. Especially in animal cells, they are very large why is this? What is the dif
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Eukariotic cells are bigger and complex than bacteria. The difference between cystoskeleton of eukariotic and bacteria cells is the type of proetein in each one.

Explanation:

The cytoskeleton is composed mainly in arrays of protein filaments. Its function is to maintain the shape of the cell, maintain in place the organelles (such as mitochondria, nucleus, etc.) and the transport throughout the cell. Every cell has a cytoskeleton, eukaryotic, bacteria and archaea. Eukaryotic cells are bigger than bacteria and have more organelles in them to maintain in place, this is why cytoskeleton are bigger and complex. The bacteria are a single cell, simpler, with a few organelles, the cytoskeleton is more simple but important. The cytoskeleton is similar in both, the difference is the type of proteins in them. In bacteria are simple proteins, meanwhile, in eukaryotic are a complex protein.
