It is because of the different neurotransmitters and their receptors.

Sympathetic stimulation of arterioles in skeletal muscle is mediated by epinephrine acting on its β-adrenergic receptors.  

Sympathetic stimulation   of vasoconstriction occurs as a result of activation of α-1 adrenergic receptors by norepinephrine released by post-ganglionic sympathetic neurons.

Sympathetic neuron stimulates vasoconstriction in the GI tract, while the sympathetic neuron stimulates vasodilation in arterioles due to the presence of different receptor.

Further Explanation:

The “Somatic Nervous System” controls the voluntary function of the sensory organs and skeletal muscle. It contains both efferent (motor neuron) and afferent (sensory neuron) nerve that connects the “Central Nervous System” to the body muscles and tissues. This allows the body to perform a complex movement.It has two important divisions, namely, sympathetic and parasympathetic. They work in opposition. The sympathetic system helps to produce the excitatory response at the time of physical activity.

The sympathetic system of the ANS helps in stimulating the activity of the adrenal gland that releases epinephrine and nor epinephrine. These hormones increase the blood flow within the body by stimulating the heart rate and increase the rate of breathing by binding the adrenergic receptor on the peripheral tissue. Sympathetic neurons perform vasoconstriction in the gastrointestinal tract and perform vasodilation in skeletal muscle; both functions are different. The presence of beta-2 adrenergic receptors present in skeletal muscle that stimulates vasodilation. The presence of the alpha-1 receptor in the gastrointestinal tract stimulates vasoconstriction. Thus, sympathetic neuron performs two different functions at two different places.

How did Claire’s digestion reaction rates tell you that the problem was in her small intestine, and not her stomach?
lozanna [386]

Answer:

Absorption of the nutrients will not happen.

Explanation:

Claire’s digestion reaction rates tell you that the problem was in her small intestine, and not her stomach because the intestine is responsible for the absorption of most of the nutrients produced from eating and drinking of food substances. If the absorption of the nutrients will not happen by the intestine, the whole homeostasis or equilibrium of the body disturbs and no growth of the cell  occurs.

Effectus [21]

Answer: D. Digestion increases as the volume of the enzyme increases.

Explanation:

Enzymes speed up reactions by reducing the activation time of a reaction. If there are more enzymes therefore, the reaction will move faster.

Pepsin is an enzyme that prefers acidic conditions so it can work with dilute HCL. It can also work in temperatures of 40 °C without getting denatured. As more Pepsin is added therefore, the reaction will move faster and digestion will increase.

Is the creation of genetically unique offspring by two parents?
viktelen [127]
The answer is sexual reproduction in which the creation of offspring by fertilization consisting 2 haploid gametes come together to form a diploid zygote with a new genetic combination. The main difference between sexual and asexual reproduction is that asexual reproduction results in a genetically identical offspring whereas sexual reproduction results in a unique offspring in which offspring with a new genetic combination.

Which types of organisms have a cell wall and which have a cell membrane.
Ratling [72]
All plants have a cell wall, all mammals have a cell membrane. a cell membrane is semi-permeable it allows mammal cells to absorb needed nutrients, oxygen and deposit waste into the blood stream where it is excreted through urine and feces. a plant cells nutrients are absorbed through the root system and leaves, waste is excreted in the form of oxygen through the plant itself.
