The 3 groups of fish are:

Jawless, cartilaginous and bony fishes.

Jawless fish were one of the first vertebrates in this world. These fish have no scales, and instead are made of cartilage. Also, like the name says, they have no jaws and no fins. Some jawless fish include hagfishes and lamprey's. These are the only species alive today.

Cartilaginous fish include sharks and rays. Their skeletons are made out of cartilage, similar to the jawless fish. But, they do have jaws and fins. Their bodies are covered with pointy teeth-like scales, which makes their skin rougher than sandpaper.

Bony fish have scales that overlap each other, and instead of cartilage, they have bones like other animals. These scales are made from the same substance as your fingernail. The slimy substance mucus covers the fish (it's in your throat and nose as well), and protects it from other dangerous things. Bony fish are basically 95% of all fish.

Answer:

Your nervous system is involved with all aspects of human function. Circulation, digestion, endocrine and excretory systems are controlled by the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous function is controlled by your body with out conscious thought. Imagine having to regulate your heart rate, rate of digestion, liver, and hormones with your mind. The brain and spinal cord work together to carry out these tasks.

Breathing is another example of your body systems working together. When you breathe, you think of the respiratory system. However, think about what the respiratory system does. It delivers oxygen (nutrients) and removes carbon dioxide (waste). However, the respiratory system only exchanges these gases through the lungs. These gases need to travel throughout the entire body. The circulatory system allows the gases (and blood) to travel everywhere. The skeletal and muscular systems are also involved because they help push the blood from one end of the body to the other.

the skeletal system and its interaction with the nervous system. For example, the skull protects the brain from injury. The brain also regulates the position of the bones by using the muscular system

A third example is when a pathogen enters the body. Your immune system is responsible for keeping invaders out. When you breath in a pathogen, it can sometimes cause you to cough. Your immune system recognizes the invader and communicates to your body that it is bad. Then your skeletal and muscular system is responsible for creating the contractions to create the cough.

The proximal tubule of the nephron (kidney tubule) in the kidney is composed of which type of epithelium? view available hint(s)

Pavlova-9 [17]

<span>The answer is columnar epithelium. This type of epithelium with tall columnar cells is adapted for absorption and is also protective. The epithelium of the proximal convoluted tubule has microvilli that increase the surface area for reabsorption of water and minerals back into the bloodstream. </span>
