Answer:

electrical synapse

Explanation:

An electrical synapse provides channel of proteins referred to as gap though which two neurons are connected. This connection allows the electrical signal to travel from cell to the other. Electrical synapses are commonly found in the brain and nervous system of an organism

In this synapse, there is a passive flow of ions from one neuron to the other through the gap junction pores. The neuron from which the current flows is called as presynaptic element and is also referred to as upstream neuron while the neuron which receives the current is called as postsynaptic or downstream neuron.

Synapses in which gap junctions allow ions to diffuse quickly from cell to cell are called ELECTRICAL synapses. An electrical synapse is a mechanical and electrically conductive link between two neighboring neurons that is formed at a narrow gap between the pre-synaptic and post-synaptic neurons known as a gap junction.

1. how many chambers does the human heart have?

cluponka [151]

<h2>Answer:</h2><h3>1. four</h3>

Your heart has four separate chambers that pump blood, two on the right side and two on the left.

2. When the ventricle relaxes, the aortic valve closes to prevent blood from flowing back into the ventricle. When the aortic valve is not working properly, it can interfere with blood flow and cause the heart to strain to send blood to the rest of the body.

3. In medicine, a person's pulse is a pressure wave caused by the expansion of the arteries as a result of the circulation of blood pumped by the heart.

4. Capillaries are tiny vessels that branch out from arterioles to form networks around body cells.

Capillaries are very tiny blood vessels — so small that a single red blood cell can barely fit through them.

Individuals without AFS have a glutamic acid at position 487 on the ALDH2 protein, whereas individuals with AFS have a lysine at

azamat

Answer:

Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is an enzyme required to eliminate toxins such as acetaldehyde and alcohol, thereby mutations in this protein may be associated with the Alcohol flush syndrome (AFS)

Explanation:

ALDH2 is a protein required for ATP generation by catalyzing the oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids (i.e., oxidation of NADH to NAD+). Mutations in the ALDH2 gene have been associated with the inactive form of this enzyme, and this specific mutation at position 487 alters its enzymatic activity associated with the metabolism of acetaldehyde and alcohol. This amino acid substitution may lead to the active site-directed inactivation of the enzyme.

The tensor fasciae latae stabilizes the hip joint and the __________ joint.

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Knee.

Explanation:

Joints may be defined as the articulation by which the bones meet together and constitute the skeletal system. These joints helps in the particular movement of the body.

Tensor fasciae latae muscle is present in the thigh. This muscle is attached with tibia and innervated by the super gluteal nerve that supplies the blood artery. This muscle plays an important role in the stabilization of the knee and the hip joint.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c).
