The skins major functions include all but which of the following?

1 answer:

5 0

Well the most appropriate answer is C, the skin layer is a layer of cells. These layers are constantly subject to the UV spectrum in which causes DNA thimer dimerisation to occur. This leads to DNA damage and thus cancer.

I guess D makes sense in that some chemicals cannot be absorbed (charged chemicals)

Which muscles move without conscious control?<br> voluntary or involuntary

ra1l [238]

I believe the correct answer is involuntary

<h2>Explanation</h2>

The human body has 2 groups of muscles; voluntary and involuntary that are divided into 3 types of muscles: Cardiac muscles found only in the heart, smooth muscles found in hollow organs and also internal organs and skeletal muscles that support the human skeleton and also protect organs. An example is the thigh muscle. Of the muscles, Cardiac muscles and smooth muscles are completely involuntary in addition to diaphragm which is a skeletal muscle.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2><h3>1. Cardiac Muscle</h3>

The cardiac muscle is found only in the heart and is controlled by the brain only. It is the reason why your heart beats without your control. The part of the brain responsible for this control is a region called pons in the hind brain. It is an involuntary muscle. It also is different in structure to all the other types of muscles.

<h3>2. Smooth muscles</h3>

These are muscles found in organs and also lining of some organs such as blood vessels and the bronchioles. They also form organs such as the liver, lungs and uterus. They are involuntary muscles that are under the control of the brain and perform functions such as breathing and regulation of body temperature and blood pressure.

<h3>3. Skeletal muscles</h3>

This is the most common type of muscle and is found in almost everywhere you touch for example the thighs, arms, legs, head, chest. They are tough muscles that coordinate to help the skeleton in movement, protect internal organs and also link up body parts. You can control them and they are voluntary. For example, when you stand up you use your skeletal muscles.

Name and explain the purpose of one law that protect citizen in gender based violence

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Gender based violence : name

explain: The phenomenon of gender-based violence is pervasive around the world,

experienced by some one in three women in their lifetimes. The elimination of such

violence has been increasingly recognized as a priority for the international

community.

The Sustainable Development Goals include a specific target to “eliminate all forms

of violence against all women and girls in the public and private spheres.”

A recent

special series of The Lancet on addressing violence against women provides an

excellent overview of the current evidence, and highlights that while growing

international recognition creates opportunities for renewed government

commitment, solutions will not be quick or easy.3

Legislation that criminalises violence against women codifies the rights of women to

live free of violence. Laws can play an important symbolic role, by indicating that such

behavior is socially unacceptable. The associated sanctions may serve a deterrence

function. Either or both levers may work in practice to reduce the incidence of

violence. It is of course difficult to observe which is more effective, though we do

have indirect evidence on both fronts. Legislation can also be responsive to victims,

by providing for protection and access to support services.

This paper investigates the potential and shortcomings of legislative action – and

how international and national laws can interact with norms in ways that can be

conducive to the reduction of the risk of violence. We argue that there has been

major progress in establishing the right of women to live free of violence in both

international and national law, especially over the past decade or so, with civil society

movements at the local and global levels playing a pivotal role. At the same time,

there is some way to go to address the underlying norms and behaviors associated

with violence.

What would happen if you fasted for a week

AlekseyPX

Answer:

Explanation: One thing is for sure: you would have a tremendous amount of weight loss. Water weight burns faster than that of the weight from what you eat. Without supplementing your body with other sources such as protein, calcium, sodium, and so forth, your body would start to consume itself, due to a lack of proper nourishment. On a psychological scale, it would cause your mind to have a whole lot of hallucinations, and anemia.
