Describe how the structures of arteries are specialized for their particular function

Biology
1 answer:
lubasha [3.4K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The walls of the arteries are very thick. They are made up of thick elastic fibres and smooth muscles.

Arteries can be described as blood vessels which function to transport blood from the heart to other parts of the body. The blood that the heart pumps is high in pressure. Hence, the thick walls of the arteries are adapted to carry blood that has high pressure.

The other blood vessels do not have as thick vessels as the arteries.

Explain what happens during the three phases of signal transduction.
Morgarella [4.7K]
The three phases of signal transduction is (1) reception, (2) transduction, and (3) response. Reception involves the binding of a ligand, may it be a hormone or a neurotransmitter; to a receptor, may it be a membrane receptor, cytosolic receptor, or a nuclear receptor. After binding of the ligand to the receptor, there will be signal transduction of events that will ultimately form a response. For instance, insulin actin on the insulin receptor will trigger a series of events that will increase the transcription of the gene translating for glucose transporters and ultimately, increase the number of glucose transporters embedded in the cell membrane leading to increased glucose uptake in tissues.
