How does the nervous system work

Biology
1 answer:
Amiraneli [1.4K]3 years ago

The basic functioning of the nervous system depends a lot on tiny cells called neurons. The brain has billions of them, and they have many specialized jobs. For example, sensory neurons take information from the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin to the brain.

Describe two things that would happen in an ecosystem if there were no unicellular organisms. Explain why something with only on
Ierofanga [76]

Unicellular organisms include bacteria, protists, and yeast. For example, a paramecium is a slipper-shaped, unicellular organism found in pond water. It takes in food from the water and digests it in organelles known as food vacuoles. Nutrients from the food travel through the cytoplasm to the surrounding organelles, helping to keep the cell, and thus the organism, functioning. Multicellular organisms are composed of more than one cell, with groups of cells differentiating to take on specialized functions. In humans, cells differentiate early in development to become nerve cells, skin cells, muscle cells, blood cells, and other types of cells. One can easily observe the differences in these cells under a microscope. Their structure is related to their function, meaning each type of cell takes on a particular form in order to best serve its purpose. Nerve cells have appendages called dendrites and axons that connect with other nerve cells to move muscles, send signals to glands, or register sensory stimuli.  Outer skin cells form flattened stacks that protect the body from the environment. Muscle cells are slender fibers that bundle together for muscle contraction. The cells of <u>multicellular</u> organisms may also look different according to the organelles needed inside of the cell. For example, muscle cells have more mitochondria than most other cells so that they can readily produce energy for movement; cells of the pancreas need to produce many proteins and have more <u>ribosomes</u> and rough <u>endoplasmic</u> <u>reticula</u> to meet this demand. Although all cells have organelles in common, the number and types of organelles present reveal how the cell functions.

Hope that helps!!

identify and describe the characteristics of solar and lunar eclipse PLEASE I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO WHOEVER ANSWERS
frosja888 [35]

From our perspective on Earth, two types of eclipses occur: lunar, the blocking of the Moon by Earth's shadow, and solar, the obstruction of the Sun by the Moon.

When the Moon passes between Sun and Earth, the lunar shadow is seen as a solar eclipse on Earth. When Earth passes directly between Sun and Moon, its shadow creates a lunar eclipse.

Lunar eclipses can only happen when the Moon is opposite the Sun in the sky, a monthly occurrence we know as a full Moon. But lunar eclipses do not occur every month because the Moon's orbit is tilted five degrees from Earth's orbit around the Sun. Without the tilt, lunar eclipses would occur every month.

Lunar and solar eclipses occur with about equal frequency. Lunar eclipses are more widely visible because Earth casts a much larger shadow on the Moon during a lunar eclipse than the Moon casts on Earth during a solar eclipse. As a result, you are more likely to see a lunar eclipse than a solar eclipse.

Of all the ways that Renaissance society was hierarchically divided, what was regarded as the most "natural" distinction and the
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

Gender

Explanation:

  • Renaissance was a period of European history that was very disputed.
  • This period was a hierarchal age and the place of a person in the society was determined by the class that he/she was born into it.
  • However, the hierarchy was not limited to just rank but also included gender which was defended by revolutionary women as gender was considered as a natural distinction. 
  • Thus, revolutionists in the process of equalisation wanted to defend gender the most.

Sholpan [36]
In the intestinal phase of gastric secretion, chyme is moved into the duodenum. Intestinal phase is the phase of digestive system in which the duodenum responds to arriving chyme and moderates gastric activity through hormones and nervous reflexes. The duodenum enhances the secretion of gastric and then inhibits it.
