gladu [14]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The correct answer is: simple squamous epithelium.

Explanation:

The epithelium is one of the four basic tissues found in the body, along with the connective tissue, the muscle tissue, and the nervous tissue.

Epithelial tissue is commonly found surrounding surfaces such as the skin, and also making up the inner lining of hollow organs such as the ones that form the gastrointestinal tract.

<u>The number of layers and the shape of the cells in the epithelium have a direct correlation in the function of the tissue.</u> Functions can vary a lot from organ to organ, from absorption to protection and everything in between.

<u>A</u><u> simple squamous epithelium</u><u> is composed of a single layer of flat cells, which makes it permeable to liquids and small molecules, an important feature in organs where filtration or diffusion is needed; for example: capillaries and alveoli</u>.

Contraction of myofibrils within a muscle fiber begins when
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer: calcium is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum

Explanation:

Muscle contraction is the stimulation of sites that produce stress within muscle fibres.

Calcium ions bind to tropomyosin in inducing muscle fibre contraction, exposing active site for Crossbridge formation on actin. Then ATP binds to myosin, transferring the myosin to its high-energy state, freeing the myosin head from the active actin site. Triggering tension-generating sites within muscle fibres.

Hence, the contraction process is initiated with teh relaease of calcium from  sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Lubov Fominskaja [6]
The answer is A. detritus.

Detritus typically includes the bodies or fragments of bodies of dead organisms, and fecal material. Detritus typically hosts communities of microorganisms that colonize and decompose (i.e. remineralize) it. In terrestrial ecosystems it is present as leaf litter and other organic matter that is intermixed with soil, which is denominated "soil organic matter".
