The correct answer is metatarsal bones or metatarsus.

A homologous structure refers to an illustration of a bone or an organ, which appears in distinct animals, demonstrating anatomical similarities suggesting descency from a common ancestor. Or it can be said, that when very distinct animals exhibit bones, which seems very identical in function or form and seem to be associated.

The metatarsus or metatarsal bones refer to a combination of five lengthened bones in the foot, situated between the tarsal bones of the mid and hind foot and the phalanges of the toes.

How is the inside surface area maximized in each animal dogfish shark?
Alexus [3.1K]
The inside surface area is shaped in a crescent. It consists of a spiral valve which is made up of the small intestine. Although the dogfish shark has a relatively short small intestine compared to other animals, therefore, the spiral valve allows for a more compact form of the small intestine.
Hence, this structure provides maximum surface area over a relatively short distance in order to make the absorption of nutrients efficient achieved from the food, the sharks had from eating different sea animals.

24. An investigator examines voltages resulting from changes in membrane permeabilities. If the cell membrane suddenly had 100 p
omeli [17]

Answer:

Generally, K+ ions ensures re-polarization of  the membrane potential. It always ensures that the neuron returns its resting  state, protecting the  neurons and ensuring episode of rest before the next action potential.

K+ does this by leaving the axon, making the inner layer more negative. This is resting membrane potential. Because there are many K+ channels for leakages out of the neuronal axons.

Therefore, in this scenario, he neuron will return to its resting membrane potential state which between values -50 to -75mV.

Therefore the value of the potential will be -60mV, or within the range of -50 to -60mV. This is because the neuron is is non- excitable.
