Which of the following is a key a function of the glial cells?

Evgen [1.6K]

They are thus known as the "supporting cells" of the nervous system. The four main functions of glial cells are: to surround neurons and hold them in place, to supply nutrients and oxygen to neurons, to insulate one neuron from another, and to destroy and remove the carcasses of dead neurons (clean up).

Match the following terms and definitions. 1. an electrical nerve impulse sent by nerve fibers to the central nervous system for

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

1. an electrical nerve impulse sent by nerve fibers to the central nervous system for interpretation. Action potential.

2. neurons that detect chemicals such as those found in food. Chemoreceptors.

3. type of eyes many arthropods have; eyes that protrude outward and consist of many lenses. Compound eyes.

4. the structure that gives the response to an environmental change. Effector

5. neurons that detect electrical fields. Electroreceptors.

6. secretion of hormones into the blood stream to affect distant processes. Endocrine.

Explanation:

An action potential is a change in the internal charge of a cell due to depolarization. These changes allow the transmission of a message from any part of the body to the central nervous system. The central nervous system will interpret the message and will give a response.

There are different types of receptors in our bodies. Chemoreceptors are the ones that detect chemicals and produce an action potential or a neurotransmitter. These receptors respond to chemicals. Another type of receptor is the electroreceptors. They detect electrical fields and are only on the skin of aquatic animals.

Compound eyes have a large number of ommatidia. As a result, the anthropods with this type of eyes have a large view angle. In other words, every ommatidium sees an image, and the final product is a combination of all of them.

The effector is the structure that gives an answer once an affector has sent the message to the nervous system that there was a change in the environment.

There are different kinds of secretions, autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine. In the endocrine secretion, the gland secrets hormones into the bloodstream so that they can travel long distances up to their target cell, which is far from the gland.

_______ look at the genetic tendencies that we share as a species, whereas _______ explore human genetic differences.

Reika [66]

Answer;

Evolutionary psychologists; behavioral psychologists

Evolutionary psychologists look at the genetic tendencies that we share as a species, whereas behavioral psychologists explore human genetic differences.

Explanation;

-Evolutionary psychology is a theoretical approach to psychology that attempts to explain useful mental and psychological traits such as memory, perception, or language,as the functional products of natural selection. Evolutionary psychology is focused on how evolution has shaped the mind and behavior.

-Behaviorism is concerned with how environmental factors affect observable behavior. The behaviorist approach proposes two main processes whereby people learn from their environment: namely classical conditioning and operand conditioning.

Design an experiment to test this claim “If the samples are made of different materials, they will heat up at different rates” T

vitfil [10]

Answer:

Yes, the statement is true.

Explanation:

Different substances requires different amount of heat because every materials has its own specific heat capacity. Heat capacity is the amount of heat required to increase its temperature by 1 degree. Different substances have different types of bonds due to which they required different amount of heat energy for its breaking.

For example, heat requirement of water is different from glucose because they are made of different substances.
