Answer:

Gliding

Explanation:

Gliding movements are one of the four major types of movements allowed by synovial joints. Gliding movement of synovial joints includes side to side and back and forth movements only. Gliding is a simple movement and moves the nearly flat bone surfaces back-and-forth and from side-to-side with respect to one another.

Since the angle between the bones mostly remain the same and there is no rotation, gliding movements do not involve the movement of the joint around an axis. Gliding movement exhibits limited range as exemplified by movement between flat articular processes of vertebrae.

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Neurons have stable, relatively unchanging internal environments.

Explanation:

Neurons or nerve cells is the structural and functional unit of the nervous system. Neurons consists of the dendrites, axon, cell body and different cell organelles.

The neurons have mitochondria that meets the high ATP requirement and and consume more oxygen. The network of rough endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes produce large number of proteins in neuron. The internal environment is never stable and gets changed as the nerve impulse transmission occur through the neuron. The membrane potential of the neuron gets changed and changes its internal environment.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
