Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B.

Explanation:

The patellar tendon reflex is the kicking movement of the lower leg in response to the tap on patellar cap used to test the L2, L3, and L4 segments of the spinal cord in the body.

The spinal cord interacts with muscles through muscle sensors called muscle spindle which signals after the stretching of the muscle. The signals are sent to the spinal cord through afferent neurons or sensory neurons which starts the reflex action to prevent overstretching of the muscle.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

Epithelial cells are most likely to be found where in your body?
sattari [20]

Answer:

Epithelial cells also line the inside of your throat, intestines, blood vessels, and all your organs. They are a barrier between the inside and outside of your body and are often the first place that is attacked by viruses as they begin their invasion deeper into the body.

Explanation:

Epithelial tissue covers the outside of the body and lines organs, vessels (blood and lymph), and cavities. Epithelial cells form the thin layer of cells known as the endothelium, which is contiguous with the inner tissue lining of organs such as the brain, lungs, skin, and heart.

BIG POINTS To whoever answers this 50 POINTS ok Describe how energy is produced from power of water. In your answer, include the
ioda

Hydropower can be harnessed from flowing and falling water. Water stored behind dams and at a height has a lot of potential energy which is converted into mechanical and electrical energy.This water is released gradually and is made to fall under the force of gravity and drive hydraulic turbines and electri­cal generators. Hydropower is also another indirect form of using solar energy. Hydropower has great potential as a supplier of electricity but environmental constraints limit such a development as the generation of electricity by hydro­electric power plants result in pollution and massive ecological disruptions such as land flooding, siltation, eutrophication and adverse effects on flora and fauna. Smaller dams and reservoirs cause less damage but cannot exploit the full potential of this energy resource. Planning environmental impact assessment and construction of a hydroelec­tric power plant takes many years and the high initial capital investments are also limiting factors in the development of hydropower. The development cost of hydroelectric power plants can be reduced by developing low cost turbines and generators, involving public participation in the development and opera­tion of the project and using efficient environmental friendly technologies.
