Smooth muscle cells lack which protein(s)?

Biology
1 answer:
LuckyWell [14K]4 years ago
3 0

The correct answer is C. troponin only.

The smooth muscle cells contain similar elements like the cardiac and skeletal muscle cells including actin, myosin and tropomyosin but they contain troponin.

Smooth muscle tissues are non striated and produce their own connective tissue called endomysium. Smooth muscle cells also lack sarcomeres but have other thin and thick filaments along with actin and myosin contractile proteins.

Due to lack of troponin the cross bridge formation is regulated by the regulatory protein calmodulin instead of the troponin- tropomyosin complex.

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

substantia nigra

Explanation:

The Limbic system is a complex set of brain structures that can be seen on both sides of the thalamus. It supports a variety of functions including emotion, behavioral activities,motivation, memory e.t.c.  It composition entails the hypothalamus, the hippocampus and the amygdala.

The hypothalamus which is  located below the thalamus (i.e hypo means "under") helps to regulates thirst, body temperature, and sexual behavior, and helps maintain a steady (homeostatic) internal state of the body of an organism.

Hippocampus is the centre of memory.

Amygdala (an almond-shape set of neurons) play a key role in the processing of emotions.

On the other hand, The substantia nigra is a basal ganglia structure that can be seen in the midbrain. The substantia nigra plays a vital role in reward and movement.  This area of the brain  sends signals down the spinal cord to control the muscles of the body.
