What are the three basic functions organs perform in the human body

Biology
1 answer:
77julia77 [94]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

There are several different ways to name it, but I always go by absorption, digestion, and metabolism/breakdown.

Explanation:

Absorption is the uptake of minerals, vitamins, and nutrients from your diet and your ingestion of water or other liquids. Absorption primarily takes place in the small intestine and anything that isn't necessary and vital for human life is then excreted through the urinary tract as urine and the remainder of the digestive tract as waste/feces.

Digestion is the process that occurs in the digestive tract which breaks down all food intake by mechanical and enzymical (stomach/gastric acid) processes in order to provide the body with all of the nutrients and minerals it needs to survive.

Metabolism is the breakdown of acids, fats, and enzymes within the organs in order to maintain life and promote production of energy. A healthy diet, cardiovascular exercise for 4-5 days a week, and maintaining good health in general is best to maintain a high metabolism and produce the most energy.

How does an animals level fitness relate to its chance of survival and reproduction
maks197457 [2]
I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but a fit animal is one that is able to out-compete with other animals in its ecosystem. It possesses some kind of advantage, which makes it easier to compete with others for food, water, shelter, and mates. Due to these qualities, the animal is obviously able to live for a good deal of time and have a greater chance of producing viable offspring.

Much of the regulation of gluconeogenesis is a result of the inhibition of?
matrenka [14]

The suppression of glycolysis is responsible for a large portion of the control of gluconeogenesis.

Discussion about the statement:

The cytosol is the site of all glycolysis and gluconeogenesis processes. The rate at which glucose is produced in the body is inversely related to the intake of carbohydrates. The suppression of glycolysis is responsible for a large portion of the control of gluconeogenesis.

Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate is an intermediate that plays a crucial role in controlling both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. This metabolite's presence can promote glycolysis and prevent gluconeogenesis.

Control of Gluconeogenesis and Glycolysis

  • At various crucial stages of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, metabolic control takes place. The catalysts that accelerate each of these stages can be activated or inhibited by outside forces, for example, the quantity of a molecule that comes after. The conversion of glucose and ATP into glucose 6-phosphate is the first controlled step in glycolysis. Keep in mind that hexokinase catalyzes this process.
  • High levels of blood glucose, AMP, and low levels of cellular ATP all trigger the activation of hexokinase. In other words, the glycolysis process is enhanced when blood glucose levels are high. Whenever cellular ATP levels are low and AMP levels are high, glycolysis is also increased. Both of these instances show that the cell is short on energy and may be directly influenced to create additional energy.

What is the difference between plant ecm and mammalian ecm?
Rudiy27
ECM is the extracellular matrix, or the set of extracellular molecules secreted by cells with the purpose to support surrounding cells. In plants the cell wall is the ECM and in mammals ECM can be in the form of fibrils and may constitute a significant portion of the bulk of the organism and it also referred as connective tissue.

How does nerve impulses travel from one neuron to another?
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

(d) Electrical-->Chemical-->Electrical

Explanation:

A nerve impulse is the transmission of an electrical change along the neuron's membrane from the point at which it is stimulated (synapse). The normal direction of impulse in the body is from the cell body to the axon. This nerve impulse, or action potential, is a sudden and rapid change in the transmembrane potential difference.

Normally, the membrane of the neuron is polarized at rest, which means that the ionic constitution of the medium internal to the membrane is different from the external medium, which generates different electrical charges in one medium and the other, so this difference, ie , the potential during rest is negative (-70 mV). The action potential thus consists of a rapid reduction of membrane negativity to 0mV and inversion of this potential to about + 30mV, followed by a rapid return to values slightly more negative than the resting potential of -70mV.

Nervous impulse or action potential, therefore, is a phenomenon of an electrochemical nature and occurs due to changes in the permeability of the neuron membrane. These permeability modifications allow ions to pass across the membrane. Since ions are electrically charged particles, changes also occur in the electric field generated by these charges.

Thus, we can say that the correct answer to this question is: Electrical -> Chemistry -> Electrical
