Explain the functions of a nervous system

Biology
1 answer:
nika2105 [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

It has 3 main functions

1.Sensory. The sensory function of the nervous system involves collecting information from sensory receptors that monitor the body’s internal and external conditions.

2.Integration. The process of integration is the processing of the many sensory signals that are passed into the central nervous system at any given time. These signals are evaluated, compared, used for decision making, discarded or committed to memory as deemed appropriate.

3.Motor. Sends a signal to the Corresponding effector then releases a hormone or moves a part of the body to respond to the stimulus.

Besides the HCT, what other component of blood could be measured to give a better understanding of oxygen-carrying capacity? Exp
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The haemoglobin levels or counts can be used.

Explanation:

The oxygen carrying pigment of the blood is the heamoglobin (Hb).it is a protein molecule with for heam groups,Each of the latter can bind with  4 molecules of oxygen in a cooperate bonding.The more oxygen molecules binding by Hb,the more oxygen is carry in RBC.

Therefore if the number of Hb counts is reduced in an individual the volume of oxygen in the RBC of the subject should  reduced,Therefore, this should be a good indicator of the lower oxygen capacity of the blood of the individual.

Basically in a physiological female the Hb count/100ml of blood is 12-16g/ml,like wise 13-18g/100mI in a physiological  man.

Therefore fluctuations in the levels of these values below the set points  is an indicator of distortion in the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood.

The  amount of the blood in volume that contains RBC is called Hematocrit. Therefore for accuracy the HCT together with the Hb counts are good indicators of oxygen capacity of the blood.

A space probe lands on a planet with 1/2 the gravitational force as the earth. What happens
Delicious77 [7]

Planet with 1/2 the gravitational force as the earth. the effect of  the mass and weight of the space probe is described below.

Explanation:

  • At an altitude of 2642 km (approx. 1641 miles) above the Earth's surface, the gravitational acceleration will be 4.89m/s^2, which is half of 9.78 m/s^2 (the gravity at the surface).
  • When the distance between the 2 objects is halved, the gravitational force between the 2 objects is doubled. when the distance between the 2 objects is doubled then the gravitational force doubles.
  • Yes, a space probe that weighs 1000 pounds (excluding fuel) sitting in its launch vehicle on the launch pad will weigh much more from launch until the rocket's engines shut off. At that point it will become weightless. It becomes weightless because it's in free fall, even though it is still heading away from the Earth.
  • In space without gravity pulling down on them, Astronauts are essentially weightless. It is important to explore the difference between mass and weight. ... However, if we went from Earth to Mars, our weight would change because Mars has less gravity than Earth. Gravity is a force pulling matter together.
