What is the difference between the ligamentum arteriosum and the ductus arteriosus?

Biology

Goshia [24]4 years ago

In fetal life, the lungs are not expanded, so most of the blood from the right ventricle is shunted from the pulmonary artery to the aorta through the patent ductus arteriosus. With a few breaths the lungs expand, and blood flows from right ventricle to pulmonary artery into the lungs. Withdrawal of circulating prostaglandin from the mother plus bradykinins released from the expanding lung of the infant cause the ductus to close over a few minutes to hours. The closed ductus remains as the ligamentum arteriosum.

________ are neurons in the brain's visual system that respond to particular features of a stimulus.
forsale [732]

Answer:

The cells of the visual cortex are neurons in the brain's visual system that respond to particular features of a stimulus.

Explanation:

These neurons respond to stimuli presented to both eyes. Simple cells receive innervation directly from thalamic cells and respond to light stimuli with defined orientation and with specific configuration and location in the visual field. Complex cells also respond to the orientation parameter.  

These cells trigger action potentials when the visual stimulus appears within their receptive field.
