The liver is the largest internal organ, because it has many important functions such as making bile, collecting circulated blood, and processing chemicals.

Answer:

Liver is largest organ in rat and it is largest because rats do not have gall bladder

Explanation:

Liver has numerous functions in a body of rat, one of which is producing bile. The purpose of bile is mainly to digest fats. Liver also turns other waste into less harmful substances. Rats do not have gall bladder like other animals, because bile produced by them is much more concentrated and purpose of gall bladder is to concentrate bile, so it seems unnecessary in rats to have a gall bladder. Now with many functions including proteins for blood, storage and release of glucose and so on, the production of much more concentrated bile requires much stronger connective tissues and large then average size of liver.

What would be the best explanation for why myelinated fibers conduct signals faster than unmyelinated fibers?
Sliva [168]

Answer: The diffusion of ions along the axoplasm is faster,in myelinated compare to unmyelinated,

Neurons are the structural and functioning units of nervous system.They are the vehicles for transmission of impulses as electrical signals from one part of the cells,and from one part of the body to another.

The basic structural components of a typical neuron are the cellbody, the axon, and the dendrites.

Based on structure neurons are classified as myelinated and unmyelinated.This is based on the the surrounding layer of myelin sheath around the axon. The myelin provides the insulating layer for the axon.And ensures fast movement of impluses.

In myelinated neurons the myelin sheath are interrupted at intervals by gaps along the length of the axon called Nodes of Ranvier. These gaps contains more Na-K channels for influx and out-flux of K and Na+ ions for transmission of impulses.

The cytoplasm of axon is called axoplasm,Since this is surrounded by myelin sheath which contains Na-K+ channels,The rate of diffusion of ions along  these channels is faster for depolarization to take place than in unmyelinated neurons. Inaddtion as these ions  diffusion increases,its jump faster at the nodes of Ranvier (saltatory conduction) to the next axoplasm which further speed up the rate of transmission.

Unmyeinated lacks myelin sheath,therefore the exchange and  the rate of diffusion of ions along the axons is low.

Molodets [167]
They're considered to be human like hands. They have a thumb like humans which allows them to grip onto trees and maneuver better. It also helps them with their grip onto branches and trees because they rarely come down from up there, so they need to be able to grip tightly even a sleep. I would say it's natural selection due to evolution.
