Which division of the nervous system is the broadest (or most inclusive)?

Well the nervous system divides into the central nervous system (CNS) (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) (everything else). From there, the CNS divides into the autonomic (ANS) (reflex functions) and the somatic (SNS) (voluntary movement) nervous systems. The ANS subdivides into the sympathetic (SANS) (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (PSNS) (rest and digest) nervous systems. Not sure exactly what the question is referring to, but this is a basic layout of all of the main nervous systems.

Answer:

Peripheral

Explanation:

The Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) is the longest division of the nervous system and is formed by the nerves and nerve ganglia. Its function is to connect the Central Nervous System to other organs of the body and thereby carry the information transport.

It is one of the divisions of the Nervous System, which is anatomically divided into:

  • Central Nervous System (CNS): brain and spinal cord;
  • Peripheral Nervous System (PNS): Nerves and nerve ganglia that connect the CNS to the organs of the body.

What is the importance of manipulation and control in the experimental method?
Vitek1552 [10]
This is an experiment where the researcher manipulates one variable, and control/randomizes the rest of the variables. It has a control group, the subjects have been randomly assigned between the groups, and the researcher only tests one effect at a time.

Place all eight of these steps of the insulin signaling pathway in the correct order. The abbreviation PIP 2 is used for phospha
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The correct insulin pathway is described as under:

2. Binding of insulin to the alpha subunit of the insulin receptor

8. Activation of insulin receptor tyrosine kinase

3. Phosphorylation of IRS proteins

6. Phosphorylation of phosphinositide 3-kinase (PI-3K)

4. Conversion of PIP2 to PIP3

7. Activation of PIP3-dependent protein kinase B (PDK1)

5. Glut4 receptors transported to the cell membrane

Explanation:

The insulin signaling pathway is described as under:

RTK (receptor tyrosine kinases) which is a receptor for insulin is an extracellular receptor but in contrast to other cell surface receptors it is catalytic in nature. In the absence of insulin (ligand), it is monomeric but as soon as it gets activated (activation occurs upon ligand binding), it undergo dimerization. It leads to auto-phosphorylation in it's tyrosine residue which subsequently leads to phosphorylation of tyrosine residue of other receptors. Such hyper-phosphorylated receptor have high affinity with enzyme/molecule like IRS protein which have SH2 domain . IRS down stream activates phosphinositide 3-kinase (PI-3K). This enzyme converts component of animal cell membrane PIP2 into PIP3. PIP3 also remains membrane bound but it has the potential to phosphorylate another enzyme named as PIP3-dependent protein kinase B (PDK1). Further, PDK1 leads to the activation of Akt or PK-B. Akt is a serine-threonine kinase which ultimately leads to the recruitment of Glut4 receptors on cell membrane for uptake of more and more glucose into the cell.

Note: Apart from this Akt also phosphorylates another protein named as FOXO which ultimately causes cell growth, Akt can also phosphorylate BAD protein so as to restrict cell apoptosis or we can say it leads to cell survival, Akt also leads to translation in a cell with the help of mTOR raptor etc.

Suppose the two possible alleles for the height gene are tall and short. If short is recessive to tall, provide the symbol repre
navik [9.2K]

Phenotype - short , Tall

Genotype - tt (short) , TT or Tt (tall)

<u>Explanation:</u>

In Mendelian Genetics, <em>Dominant traits</em> are represented by capital letters and <em>Recessive traits</em> are represented by small letters.

So if height is the character considered, then the traits would be short and tall.

Tall is the dominant phenotype and short is the recessive phenotype.

The alleles of the gene for height are T and t.

The genotype for Tall trait is TT or Tt.

The genotype for short trait is tt.

Therefore, the symbol representation of phenotype (Tall) is TT or Tt and for phenotype (short) is tt.
