The medullary cavity is Select one: a. empty in adult bones. b. the site where osteoblasts are found. c. lined with endosteum. d
katrin [286]

Answer:

C- Lined with Endosteum

Explanation:

The medullary cavity, also called the marrow cavity, stores red and yellow bone marrow (or adipose tissue). It is the central cavity in the shaft of bones.

Endosteum lines the inner surface of the medullary cavity. It is a thin, vascular membrane of connective tissue with the purpose of being absorbed when a person is malnourished.

When considering membrane transport, what is a transporter?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Transporters are the integral membrane proteins that serve to move the substances across the membrane.

Explanation:

Transporters are the membrane proteins that serve to move specific ions or molecules across the lipid bilayer. These are the integral membrane proteins. Transporters include carriers, channels, pumps, etc. Channels are the integral membrane proteins that serve to provide a pathway for transport of charged and/or polar substances that otherwise can not cross the non-polar core of the lipid bilayer.

Pumps are involved in the active transport of substances against the concentration gradient and use the energy of ATP hydrolysis. Some of the examples of transporters are voltage-gated ion channels, GLUT1 glucose transporter, F₀F₁ ATPase proton pump, etc.

When a neuron responds to a particular neurotransmitter by opening gated ion channels
Volgvan

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Question:  When a neuron responds to a particular neurotransmitter by opening gated ion channels, the neurotransmitter is serving as which part of the signal pathway?

A) relay molecule

B) transducer

C) signal molecule

D) response molecule

Answer:

C) signal molecule

Explanation:

Signaling cells produce specific chemicals or compounds called signaling molecules. These signaling molecules arrive at their target cells and bind to the cell surface or intracellular receptors. Binding of the signaling molecules to their receptors present on the target cells is followed by signal transduction and production of desired response by the target cells.  

Neurotransmitters serve as signal molecules that bind to the receptors present on the membranes of the postsynaptic neurons to bring about changes in the membrane potential. Their binding may trigger the opening of the gated ion channels resulting in a change in the membrane potential followed by generation of inhibitory or excitatory responses.
