In some skeletal muscles, the
fascicles form a common angle with the tendon. These skeletal muscles are known
as Pennate muscles (also called pinnate muscles or penniform muscles). Generally,
these types of muscles allow higher force production but smaller range of
motion.
Answer:
B) Styrofoam is a good insulator.
Explanation:
When talking about thermal energy, or a heat, insulator is a material that doesn't allow heat to pass through easily. On the other hand, a conductor is completely the opposite, it allows, quite successfully, transfer of the heat.
So, regarding ice cream, from these definitions above, we can conclude that insulators will prolong melting time, while, in the conductors, ice cream will melt rather fast.
Looking at the table, we see that Styrofoam had the longest melting time, which makes it quite successful insulator.
Answer: Integrins
Explanation: Integrins are proteins and are the principal receptors that attach the cell cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix (ECM). Integrins by sense whether adhesion has taken place that is to say a cell can regulate the adhesive activity of its integrins from within.
If you lose a finger, the somatosensory cortex that received its input will begin to pick up signals from the neighboring fingers. this best illustrates the concept of neuroplasticity. The neurons rewire themselves to participate in the functioning of other nearby brain regions. Another consequence of this in the experience of the presence of a phantom limb or finger. The brain activates that region to signal the muscles of the absent limb and confuses itself in the absence of any feedback from it.
