Give the definition of parasympathetic nervous system?

1 answer:

6 0

Answer: Autonomic nervous system is made up of 3 divisions; Sympathetic nervous system, parasympathetic nervous system and sympathetic division. All these divisions are involuntary actions where parasympathetic is ultimately responsible for the "rest and digest" part of it. When the body is at rest the parasympathetic nervous system inhibits or lowers high energy requiring bodily functions.

This nervous system will lower any fight or flight response actions such as the release of epinephrine into the blood and enable digestion, urination and defeacation. When engaged in digestion you feel relaxed and at rest, this is solely due to the parasympathetic nevous system.

Suppose you observed 32 whitefish blastula cells. One cell was in metaphase, 3 were in anaphase, 8 were in prophase, and 4 were

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Eight prophase cells, one metaphase cell,three anaphase cells, and four telophase cells. It results in 8 + 1+ 3 + 4 = 16 cells.This indicates that the remaining cells of 32-16 = 16 were in interphase.This means the cells spend the maximum amount of time in interphase.This time is equal to half the total cells.

So, if it's a 24-hour process,the interphase should spend 12 hours.

Six hours of prophase, 45 minutes in metaphase and 2 hour, 15 minutes in anaphase, and 3 hours in telophase.

Why are two different restriction enzymes used to cut the puc19 plasmid and the lux gene DNA? What would have happened if only t

snow_tiger [21]

This is because there might not be one restriction site bordering the gene to be cloned and the identical restriction site in the plasmid. Since these two restriction enzymes make compatible sticky ends, the insert has a chance of combining with the plasmid. To ensure efficient digestion, the two recognition sites should be more than 10 base pairs apart. If one of the enzymes is a poor cutter or if the sites are separated 10 base pairs or less, the digestions should be performed sequentially

Which of the following is not a component of the hepatic triad found at the edges of a liver lobule?

goldenfox [79]

Answer: c) central vein.

Explanation:

The liver is an organ that is present both in humans and in vertebrate animals. It secretes the bile, essential for the digestion of fats, and it also has many other functions, including the synthesis of plasma proteins, storage of vitamins and glycogen and detoxifying function. It is responsible for removing various substances from the blood that may be harmful to the body, including alcohol, making them harmless.

The liver is divided by the sickle cell ligament into two main lobes, right and left. There are two other smaller lobes, the square lobe and the caudate lobe.

The hepatic triads are triangular areas located at the angles of the hepatic lobules, made up of a lax conjunctive stroma. They contain a branch of the hepatic artery (that irrigates the liver), a hepatic portail vein (a thick blood vessel that carries blood from the gastrointestinal tract and spleen to the liver so that nutrients are metabolized) and a bile duct (transports bile into the small intestine). Therefore, it does not contain a central vein.
