In a common reflex arc, after a sensory nerve signal is processed by interneurons in the integration center, where does the sign
kobusy [5.1K]

In a reflex arc, after a sensory nerve signal is processed by interneurons in the integration center, the signal goes to the motor neuron. The answer is motor neurons.

<h3>What is the reflex arc?</h3>

The reflex arc refers to the sequence of events since the body receives an external stimulus until it reacts.

In general terms,

1) A stimulus of varying nature reaches the body.

2) The peripheric nervous system -PNS- receives the stimulus and sends this information to the central nervous system -CNS-.

3) The CNS processes the information and sends another signal as a response to the stimulus.

Five elements compose the reflex arc, which are receptors, three types of neurons, and effectors.

The neurons involved in the mechanism are:

• Afferent or sensorial neurons

• Interneurons

• Efferent or motor neurons

Mode of Action:

  • <u>Ascending branch</u>

The stimulus reaches the body and is received by the specialized sensory receptors.

Afferent neurons, placed in the dermis and epidermis, receive this information from receptors, react and send it to the central nervous system as nerve impulses.

  • <u>Descending branch</u>

Interneurons in the CNS, process the information and send a motor response.  

Efferent neurons carry the response from the CNS to the effector organs, which might be either a muscle or a gland.

Finally, the target tissue responds to the stimulus as a contraction -muscle-,or as hormones release -gland-.

A motor neuron is formed by a cellular body, dendrites (cytoplasmic extensions that receive stimuli from other cells), and a long axon that is capable of conducting the electrochemical signals.

The axon brunches out into several extensions when it approaches the muscle.

At the end of each brunch, the axon is inserted in the muscle fiber surface, composing neuromuscular join.

This is the last part of the NS involved in the process before the muscle contracts.

After a sensory nerve signal is processed by interneurons in the integration center, the signal goes to the motor neuron, and from there to the effector.  

The corrct answer is motorneuron.

Bt corn is a genetically modified crop that contains a gene from another species
Varvara68 [4.7K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Bt corn is a genetically modified organism that contains a gene of bacteria known as Bacillus thuringiensis.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Bt corn is a type of transgenic crop that contains a gene which produces a crystal-like protein which has an insecticidal effect.
  • This gene is present in bacteria. This gene is transferred to the plant by the recombinant DNA technology and genetic engineering.
  • This bacterium is a soil bacterium which has no side effects on humans.
  • Due to use of this technology, the poisonous chemical insecticides are not used in crop production.

The process of land becoming a desert because there are no plants to help hold and cycle water. a erosion b . weathering C. dese
8090 [49]

Answer:

Option-C

Explanation:

Desertification refers to the formation of barren land from the arid land due to many factors which could be climatic or anthropogenic. The climate factors include no rainfall, arid conditions, less water and water bodies, overgrazing by animals and many others.

As a result of these factors, the plants die or are unable to hold the soil. This leads to loosening of soil which causes soil erosion. This converts the fertile land into infertile land and the land becomes barren.

Thus, desertification is the correct answer.
