Medicine
1 answer:
Drupady [299]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Many cells in the body have extensions of their cellular menbrana, which depending on their length can be cilia or microvilli, which are the shortest. We see the case, for example, the microvilli found in the small intestine, more abundant at the level of the second and third portions of the intestine, which favors the great absorption of liquids, proteins and nutrients that occur at this level.

Cilia are cellular structures that have a more defined formation and are characterized by their nucleus being made up of proteins and enveloped by the cytosol and plasma menbrana. They are presented as an appendix in the form of hair; We will find these cilia in the cells of the respiratory system and in the reproductive system where they help the mobility of foreign bodies (respiratory system) and the movements of sperm (reproductive system).

mylen [45]

Whole grains are grains that have their entire kernel (bran, endosperm and germ) intact therefore retaining valuable nutrients. Refined grains on the other hand are grains that have been milled and stripped off parts of their kernel therefore lowering their nutritional quality.

At rest, most of the body's blood supply resides in the pulmonary loop.<br> a. True<br> b. False
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The answer to the statement: At rest, most of the body´s blood supply resides in the pulmonary loop, would be, B: False.

Explanation:

The circulatory system never stops working. Pumping of blood, transportation of oxygen, nutrients and water to and from tissues is a process that does not end, even during sleep. The only moment when this process does not happen, is in death. However, a good question is, where does the blood go, or stay, when the body is not active, like for example, during sleep. And the answer is that most of it will rest on the systemic veins and venules and will slowly circulate back to the heart, but at a much lower rate than when the body activates itself. However, what is not true is that blood will reside mostly in the pulmonary loop, because this loop does not have the capacity to store that much blood.
