Describe what would happen in the following experiment: A 2.5-g weight is attached to the end of the isolated wholeskeletal musc

le used in these experiments. Simultaneously, the muscle is maximally stimulated by 8.5 volts and the platformsupporting the weight is removed. Will the muscle generate force? Will the muscle change length? What is the name for thistype of contraction?

Answer:

The answers have been explained below in separate paragraphs -

Explanation:

Yes, after stimulation, the muscle will generate force but the reaction of the muscle will not be visible because the force generated will be of low intensity and passive in nature and the load pulling the muscle downward will not allow it to move under the influence of this force.

After removing the platform the muscle will change length if the weight is still connected to the muscle. The connected weight will pull the muscle downward and as a result the length of the muscle will be increased. This increase in length will not be due to muscle contraction, it will only be due to the force pulling downward.

This type of contraction is termed as isometric contraction in which even though the muscle is activated but it is not allowed to contract or relax due to the presence of an external force.

If you have been to Venice (Italy), you have seen lagoons. In fact, the world lagoon is derived from a latin word <em><u>laguna</u></em>.

Principally, a lagoon is shallow water body which has been separated from the main water body due to sandbars, barrier islands, coral reefs,etc. However, sometimes, they includes other terms too such as bays, estuaries, sounds, or even lakes. They are of two types, i.e. Coastal Lagoons and Atoll Lagoons. In the figure attached, you can see how a lagoon looks like.

Which of the following statements is FALSE?
Naya [18.7K]

Answer: d. None of the above is false.

Explanation: The reasons are:

Intermolecular forces should be reduced when molecules need to be vaporized, otherwise they will not be converted into vapours.

When the temperature increases, forces of attraction decreases which allows molecules to evaporate because energy will be increased which allows molecule to break bonding between them. Hence increasing temperature has effect on vaporization.

Dispersion forces is the weakest force between molecules and hydrogen bond is strong so molecule having only dispersion force will evaporate at the higher rate.

The sympathetic nervous system differs from the parasympathetic nervous system in that _________. a. the sympathetic nervous sys
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

One of the functional differences between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system is that in the sympathetic nervous system first stage neurons have synapses a considerable distance from the target organ (Option C).

Explanation:

Sympathetic nervous system is part of the autonomic nervous system, and is responsible for producing the body's activating response, such as increased heart rate, pupil dilation, and increased muscle strength and endurance. The main neurotransmitters of this system are epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine.

<em>One of the fundamental characteristics of the sympathetic nervous system is its ability to release neurotransmitters even when they are far from the receptors, while the nerve ganglia of the </em><em>parasympathetic nervous system</em><em> must be close to the target organs.</em>
