Answer:

The correct answer is E) juxtaglomerular complex

Explanation:

The smooth muscle cells of both the afferent and efferent arterioles are swollen and contain dark granules. These cells are called Juxtaglomerular cells. These cells secret Renin which convert angiotensinogen into angiotensin.

The epithelial cells of the distal convoluted tubules that comes in contact with the afferent and efferent arterioles are more dense than the other tubular cells and are collectively called muscula densa. The cells of the mascula densa may function as chemoreceptors; feeding information to the juxtaglomerular cells. The juxtaglomerular cells and macula densa together form juxtaglomerular complex.

Answer:

E. juxtaglomerular complex

Explanation:

Macula densa cells are the columnar tubule cells. They are present in the wall of afferent arterioles. The modified fibers of smooth muscles present in the lining of the afferent arteriole are called juxtaglomerular cells.

The juxtaglomerular cells and macula densa cells together make the juxtaglomerular apparatus, also called juxtaglomerular complex. The function of the juxtaglomerular apparatus is to maintain the blood pressure of kidneys.

How does inbreeding alter genotype and allele frequencies?
erik [133]

Explanation:

The inbreeding process, are blood crossings between relatives who have a common ancestor. Inbreeding leads to an increase in the frequency of homozygous genotypes and a decrease in the frequency of heterozygotes. We may also note that although changes in genotypic frequencies occur, no changes in allelic frequencies are observed over successive generations of self-fertilization. The main consequence of 2 individuals sharing one or more common ancestors is that they may carry replicas (identical copies) of one or more genes present in these ancestors. And if these individuals mate, they can pass on such replicas to their offspring, generating self-sibling offspring, that is, with two identical copies of the same gene that was present in these common ancestors.

Which of the following is not characteristic of smooth muscle? A) The striations are due to the orderly arrangement of actin and
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

A) The striations are due to the orderly arrangement of actin and myosin

Explanation:

Smooth muscles are non-striated involuntary muscles which are found in the walls of stomach, urinary bladder, blood vessels...Smooth muscle tissue is composed of spindle-shaped muscle cells with single central nucleus. Like the other two type of muscles (cardiac and skeletal), smooth muscles also have four main functions:

  • Contractility-ability to contract. In the case of skeletal muscles it is voluntary, while in cardiac and smooth muscles it is unconscious.
  • Excitability-ability to change  membrane potential usually by the influence of nervous impulse.
  • Extensibility-the capacity to lengthen
  • Elasticity-ability to change its length and then return to previous.
