Answer:

D. Sensory Neurons

Explanation:

Peripheral nervous systemconsists of all the neurons and ganglia within the body, outside the central nervous system. It is divided into:

  • Somatic nervous system- it controls the movements of skeletal muscles which means that this nervous system is under the voluntary control
  • Autonomic nervous system- its role is to control involuntary movements of smooth muscles and glands

Somatic system consists of two types of nerves:

  • sensory or afferent nerves-carry the information from the stimulus detector (receptor) to the central nervous system (CNS)
  • motor nerves (efferent nerves)-carry the information from CNS to the effectors (skeletal muscles).

Autonomic nervous system consists of:

  • sympathetic nervous system
  • parasympathetic nervous system
  • enteric nervous system

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

The correct answer is "high heritability".

Explanation:

Concordance, is a term used in genetics to describe the probability that one of the twins have certain trait if his brother certainly has it. A high percentage of concordance, such as 75%, is translated into high heritability since monozygotic twins have identical genomic sequences. Additional information to determine heritability will be to study the exposure to similar environmental conditions, since environment can also affect the presence of certain traits.

Which part of the eye is responsible for detecting colored light?
Sergio [31]
You have rods and cones in your eye. Cones detect colour and fine detail. Rods are used for monochrome vision; usually, monochrome vision is used in poorly lit, dark environments. Rods and cones are both in the retina of the eye.

Cones = Colour. CC is a good mnemonic.

Alja [10]

Answer:

a. Viral infections may lead to inflammation between the ribs (i.e., costochondritis)

b. Viral infection

c. Viral infection may lead to the influx of chemical mediators (cytokines), increased blood flow, and movement of plasma and white blood cells (leukocytes) from the blood into the injured site

Explanation:

Costochondritis is a painful condition caused by the inflammation of the cartilage that joins the ribs to the breastbone (this joint is known as the “costochondral joint”). Costochondritis is caused by inflammation of the costochondral joint, which may be triggered by multiple causes including, among others, viral/bacterial/fungal infections, exercise or strenuous activity, chest trauma, osteoarthritis, presence of tumors, etc. Acute inflammation is the immediate immune response of the body to harmful stimuli (e.g., viral infections), which is characterized by the increased movement of white blood cells (such as neutrophils and macrophages) that rapidly travel from the blood into the injured area. This plasma contains chemical mediators like pro-inflammatory cytokines which are secreted from immune cells (e.g., Th1 cells, CD4+ cells, macrophages) in order to promote inflammation.

ANSWER THE 4 QUESTIONS FOR BRAINLIEST AND 10 POINTS
Alika [10]

1. The sun's position changes,because the Earth turns on its axis,which causes the sunlight to hit at different angles. This  means that after a period of time,the sun no longer shines on one side. It will be dark/night on one side and light/day on the other side.

2.Shadows change,because the angle that the light hits us is different overtime.

3.The flagpole will look the same from when it started at the exact time.

4.Overtime our shadows become small and you may not be able to see it. That is mostly for small objects.You can see the but for small and certain angles.

Hope that this helps. This took a long time I would appreciate a Brainliest.Enjoy.-From Nea.
