Answer: b - Chondroblasts within the cartilage divide and secrete new matrix

Explanation: Chondroblasts are derived from two sources; mesenchymal cells within the center of chondrification and chondrogenic cells of the inner cellular layer of the perichondrium (coverings that lie over most cartilage).

At the chondrification centers, the cartilage forming cells (Chondroblasts) begin to secrete the components of extracellular matrix of cartilage. As the amount of matrix increases, the Chondroblasts become separated from each other and they are located in small cavity within the matrix called lacunae.

Concurrently, the cells differentiate into matured cartilage cells called chondrocytes.

Why does hypertension have negative effects on health and homeostasis
maksim [4K]

Hypertension  (high blood pressure) has negative effects on health because people with this condition have a higher risk for heart disease and other medical problems than people with normal blood pressure.

If left untreated , hypertension can lead to :

1. heart attack

2. Stroke

3. enlarged heart

4. Kidney damage.

 Once the kidneys are damaged, homeostasis in the body is severely impaired because the body no longer has the ability to clear waste  products, which when they accumulate tend to poison  the body leading  to such conditions as uremia.

Biotic means living. There are some obvious abiotic factors here. The only gray area is what "soil" encompasses

grass-Biotic means living, all of the other choices are not living, and would therefore be abiotic factors

This is because it is a living thing (performs photosynthesis and cellular respiration).

Biotic means living, all of the other choices are not living, and would therefore be abiotic factors

The fatty tissue surrounding the kidneys is important because it ________. A. is necessary as a barrier between the adrenal glan
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

D. stabilizes the position of the kidneys by holding them in their normal position

Explanation:

Adipose tissue is a type of connective tissue and is therefore called by some adipose connective tissue. As we saw in the article “Connective Tissue Cells”, adipose tissue is made up of adipose cells, also called adipocytes. Fat tissue specializes in fat storage and is found well below the skin.

Some of our internal organs like kidneys and heart have a layer of adipose tissue lining them. This layer of fat around the organs gives them greater protection against mechanical shock. In addition, in the kidneys, adipose tissue fills the voids between other tissues and helps keep these organs in their normal positions.
