Explanation:

Connexin: is a transmembrane protein that forms the gap junctions, they are also called gap junctions proteins.

Hemidesmosome junctions: these types of junctions are in the epidermis, specifically between the epithelial cells and the basal lamina of the epidermis.

Plaque: they are part of the adherens junctions, they are fibrous proteins that are attached to certain points of the extracellular matrix.

Tight junctions: are junctions between two epithelia, they are very restrictive and do not allow the passage of soluble molecules creating a permeability barrier.

Desmosomes: are very strong cell to cell junctions on the lateral sides of plasma membranes. They are in tissues that are under mechanical stress, such as the cardiac muscle.

Connexons: is a pore made of six connexin proteins in a gap junction. Connexons are the ones that connect two cells in gap junctions.

Focal adhesions: They connect the extracellular matrix with the cell, regulatory signs and mechanical force is transmitted through them.

Tonofilaments: tonofilaments are the ones that are associated with a plaque in adherens junctions, they are in epithelial tissues.

Adherens junctions: are cell to cell junctions where the cytoplasmatic face is connected to the actin cytoskeleton. They appear as spots forming the plaque or as zonula adherens, which are actin bands around the cell.

Cell junctions are protein complexes that connect two cells that are next to each other or a cell with the extracellular matrix. They have a lot of functions, such as pas information from cell to cell, or the exterior, form a barrier, synchronize cells, etc.

Gap junctions: are connections between the cytoplasm of two cells, molecules and, ions pass directly from one cell to the other.

What properties of gamma rays make them useful in medicine? explain

otez555 [7]

The properties of gamma which paved its way to the area of medicine are having high energy of all the waves in the spectrum. With this they can penetrate into almost all surfaces. One application would be its use in killing cancer cells and to examine the internals of the body.

What is air pressure

Ahat [919]

Answer:

air pressure or atmospheric pressure is referred to the force exerted on a particular surface by air present above due to the gravitational pull of the earth.

Explanation:

in simple terms -air has weight and it constantly exerts pressure against everything in the surrounding. This pressure uses gravitational pull of the earth to exert its force on or over a surface. This is called atmospheric or air pressure. It can be measured by using barometer. The unit of measurement is atm (atmosphere)

Which phrases describe homologous chromosomes?

topjm [15]

Same genes

The homologous chromosomes have the same genes in common.Each cell has at least two sets of chromosomes which one comes from one’s father also called as paternal chromosome and mother, called as the maternal chromosomes. These chromosomes are what makes the child obtain the characters and may depend on the traits the parents possess. Homologous chromosomes are not duplicated chromosomes or identical however, they are analogous or similar. The alleles for a specific characteristics isn’t the same but the same genes are in the same order.

Compare and contrast the three types of muscle tissue. Be sure to include their structures, their functions, and an example of e

timurjin [86]

Skeletal muscles
Structure; they are long cylindrical fiber, striated, many peripherally located nuclei.
Functions; Voluntary movement, produces heat, protects organs.
Examples; the biceps, slow twitch fibers, fast glycolytic fibers.

Cardiac muscles
Structure; they are short, branched, striated, single central nucleus
Functions; Contracts to pump blood, they are found in the heart
Examples; Heart muscles

Smooth muscles
Structure; They are short, spindle shaped, no evident of striation, single nucleus in each fiber
Function; Involuntary movement, moves food, involuntary control of respiration, moves secretions, regulates the flow of blood in arteries by contraction.
Example; Muscles found in the walls of hollow organs like the intestines, stomach and the blood vessels.
