Answer: urea disposal
Explanation:
<u>The liver, which is the largest organ in the human body, performs three vital functions of the organism: detoxification, synthesis and storage. </u>
The liver acts as an authentic filter that collects and eliminates numerous toxins, such as ammonia, or toxins that we ingest, such as alcohol (it performs a biotransformation of toxins). Our liver is also responsible for the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins, secreting bile, an essential element for the digestion. It also prevents bleeding through a coagulation process. And it is a container of vitamins (A, D, E, K) and glycogen (carbohydrates), while energy is stored in the form of sugar, made available to our organization.
The urea cycle takes place primarily in the liver. Organisms convert ammonia to a less toxic substance, such as urea, via the urea cycle. <u>Then it is released into the bloodstream where it travels to the kidneys and is ultimately excreted in urine. </u>
So, the liver is involved in the production of urea, but the kidney is responsible of its disposal.
<span>Organisms that can produce their own nutrients are called autotrophs, while the organisms that cannot produce their own food are called heterotrophs. Heterotrophs obtain the materials from the food they eat while autotrophs make their own nutrients. Hope this answers the question.</span>
Answer: FALSE
Explanation:
The nervous system is the system that detects and responds to changes inside and outside the body. This system consists of the brain, the spinal cord and peripheral nerves. The structure and organisation of the tissues that form these components enables rapid communication between different parts of the body.
Parts of the nervous system includes:
--> Central Nervous System ( consists of the brain and spinal cord)
--> Peripheral Nervous System ( consists of nerves outside the brain and spinal cord).The two functional parts of the peripheral nervous system are made up of the sensory (afferent) and motor (efferent). The motor division is involved in activities that are voluntary (somatic nervous system) and involuntary (autonomic nervous system).
The somatic motor division consists of somatic motor neurons that innervates ONLY the SKELETAL MUSCLE for its voluntary actions while the autonomic motor neurons innervates the cardiac and smooth muscles. Therefore the statement is FALSE
