Biology

Nimfa-mama [501]3 years ago

The microvilli (just like the microvilli in the intestines) in the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron, functions to increase the surface area of the tubule leading to a more efficient reabsorption process (as the PCT functionally functions to reabsorb solutes such as sodium, potassium, and glucose).

What would most likely happen if the parietal cells in your stomach stopped functioning?
salantis [7]

If the parietal cells in your stomach stop functioning The pH of the abdomen will rise.

Parietal cells, called oxyntic cells, are stomach epithelial cells that release intrinsic factors and hydrochloric acid (HCl). These cells are present in the stomach's gastric glands, which are situated in the fundus and body regions. Gastric acid secretion, which helps with food digestion, mineral absorption, and bacterial control, is controlled by parietal cells.

In the center of the glands in the fundus-body region of the stomach are the parietal cells. They release the intrinsic factor, a protein that binds vitamin B12, and gastric acid, or hydrochloric acid (about 0.16 M, pH 0.8). The parietal cells that are destroyed are unable to create enough stomach acid. As a result, the pH of the stomach rises, food digestion is hampered, and the risk of gastroenteritis increases.

Mekhanik [1.2K]
Well, a homologous structure is a bone or something else that is present in many different species that could point to a common ancestor. Since you do not have the examples in your question I will just give you some and hope that it helps you: 
The arm of a human, the wing<span> of a bird or a bat, the leg of a dog and the flipper of a dolphin or whale.
