Answer:

(a) Z-lines

(b) Sarcomeres

(c) The arrangement of of actin and myosin filament is called the 'double strand of pearls'

(d) The alternating strands of actin and myosin filaments gives a skeletal muscle fibre its striated appearance.

Explanation:

Each skeletal muscle is a discrete organ, made up of several kinds of tissues.These tissue includes: skeletal muscle fibres, blood vessels, nerve fibres and connective tissues. Each muscle fibre contains many myofibrils that run parallel to its length.

A sarcomere is the region of a myofibril between two successive Z- disk (or Z-lines), which is basically a 'junction points' between sarcomeres.

The striated appearance of skeletal muscle fibers is due to the arrangement of the thick and thin myofilaments within each sarcomere. And within these actin and myosin filaments are found.

lakkis [162]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is

What is not a risk of being underweight?

Answer:

Higher risk of developing heart disease .

Explanation:

The individual can be characterized as healthy person, over weight and under weight. The under weight person has low weight as mentioned in the criteria of the body mass index.

The overweight person feels low and has less energy to do any work. They may also suffer from the anemia condition, and have low nutrition in their body. They cannot develop the risk of the heart disease because heart disease is more common in over weight people.

Thus, the correct answer is option (e).

Describe the structure of the kidney and include structure of nephron as well
asambeis [7]

Answer:

Generally, mammals have a pair of bran-shaped kidneys. The mammalian kidney has 2 distinct regions, an outer renal cortex and inner renal medulla. Both regions are packed with microscopic excretory tubules, nephrons, and their associated blood vessels. Each nephron consists of a single long tubule and a ball of capillaries, known as glomerulus. The blind end of the tubule forms a cup-shaped swelling called Bowman’s capsule, that surround the glomerulus. From Bowman’s capsule, the filtrate passes through 3 regions of the nephron which are proximal tubule, the loop of Henle. A hairpin turns with a descending limb and an ascending limb and the distal tubule. The distal tubule empties into a collecting duct, which receives processed filtrate from many nephrons. The many collecting ducts empty into the renal pelvis, which is drained by ureter.

For the structure of nephron, each nephron is supplied with blood by an afferent arteriole, a branch of the renal artery that subdivides into the capillaries of the glomerulus. The capillaries converge as they leave the glomerulus, forming an efferent arteriole. It is surrounded by the Bowman’s capsule. The double-walled epithelial Bowman’s capsule is formed by the invagination of the blind end of the nephron. The glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule form the first region of the nephron and is known as the renal corpuscle or the Malpighian body. The capillary walls are composed of a single layer of endothelial cells with openings between them with a diameter 50-100nm. These cells are pressed up against basement membrane which completely envelops each capillary, separating the blood in the capillary from the lumen of Bowman’s capsule. The inner layer of the Bowman’s capsule is composed of a cell called podocytes which have arms that give off structures resembling tube-feet called foot processes or secondary processes. The secondary processes support the basement membrane and capillaries beneath it and gaps between the processes (slit pores) facilitate the process of filtration. The Malpighian body leads into the remainder of the tubule.
