Answer:

B. axon hillock

Explanation:

The axon hillock is the junction where the cyton connects with the axon. There is only one axon hillock in the neuron and it is a triangular depression of cell boy to the axon. The axons receives impulse from cyton carry to the different parts of the body. The axon hillock is also called initial segment. Because action potential starts here.

Myelin sheath is the cover or layer around the axon and helps in saltatory movement of impulse. The propagation of impulse is fast in myelinated neurons than the non-myelinated neurons.

The neurolemma is the neural membrane of the neurons. It is like the plasma membrane of the cell. The outer covering of neurons is called neurilemma.

Axon collateral is the end of the axon where axon terminals arise. They carry impulse and transmit to the synapse.

Cooking is easy in pressure cooker why?
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

This compression increases the pressure inside cooker to more than atmospheric pressure which in turns increases the boiling point of the remaining water.

Explanation:

This compression increases the pressure inside cooker to more than atmospheric pressure which in turns increases the boiling point of the remaining water. ... Higher temperature of water means higher transfer of heat to food kept in it and hence the faster cooking.

Which structure is at work when the body deals with reflex actions?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

spinal cord

Explanation:

Reflex actions are the involuntary action of the body in response to a signal or stimulus. The reflex action of body is controlled by spinal cord.

Reflex arc acts as a neural pathways that transmit impulse to the brain via spinal cord. Sensory neurons pass through synapse in the spinal cord which activate spinal motor neuron to act immediately without any delay.

Immediate taking off hand from hot oven is an example of reflex action, which is regulated by spinal cord.  

Hence, the correct option is spinal cord.

Give examples of how scientist use repeated trials and replication in conducting experiments.
Anastasy [175]
When testing a hypothesis, scientists use repeated trials and replication to make sure that they get the same answer each time, and that it isn't just a lucky guess the first time.  They need be sure that the answer to their hypothesis is 100% the same every time.

Choose the structures that most directly provide nutrients and remove wastes from osteocytes in compact bone.
Ber [7]
I had to look for the missing options of this question and here is my answer:

Osteocyte is the term that describes the cells of the bone. These cells are formed in the mesenchyme. Once the bone matures, the processes then take place inside the Lacunae and the Canaliculi, respectively. Therefore, we can say that the structure that allows the provision of nutrients and removal of wastes from osteocytes would be the canaliculi.
