The muscular system is responsible for the movement of the human body. Attached to the bones of the skeletal system are about 700 named muscles that make up roughly half of a person's body weight. Each of these muscles is a discrete organ constructed of skeletal muscle tissue, blood vessels, tendons, and nerves.
Answer:
The phloem connects the leaves to the stem and roots of the plants by transporting the sucrose to various parts.
Answer:
Explanation:
When osteocytes were experimentally destroyed, the bones showed a significant increase in bone resorption, decreased bone formation, trabecular bone loss, and loss of response to unloading. ... The osteocyte is an important regulator of bone mass and a key endocrine regulator of phosphate metabolism.
Answer:
C) It has a long preganglionic fibers
Explanation:
Peripheral nervous system (PNS) is the nervous system that contains nerves and ganglia outside the central nervous system (CNS). PNS is divided into:
- somatic (voluntary) nervous system-controls the movements of the skeletal muscles
- autonomic (involuntary) nervous system-controls the smooth muscles and glands and thus it is the regulator of the major body functions. It is subdivided into tree groups:
- sympathetic ("fight and flight") system-responsible for stressful and active situations (but also in normal conditions);contains short preganglionic fibers and long postganglionic fibers.
- parasympathetic ("rest and digest") system-opposite to sympathetic, responsible for the maintenance of body's activities at rest.
- enteric nervous system-controls the function of the gastrointestinal tract.
