How does the structure of a nerve compare to that of a skeletal muscle? Which of the descriptive terms for nerves have similar c

Answer:

The comparison of these structures is very interesting because they are very different histologically but have certain similarities or factors in common.

Muscle histology is classified into skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle.

In the cardiac muscle there is a continuity of the cells by means of desmosomal junctions to better transmit chemical impulses or signals and allow simultaneous cardiac rhythmic contraction.

In smooth muscle, muscle fibers are innervated by the autonomic nervous system, while in skeletal muscles, they are innervated by the autonomic, that is, by the voluntary or conscious nervous system.

These last two present myocytes submerged in structures such as endomysium, perimysium and ectomyse.

The muscle fibers in the histological sections can be seen in longitudinal or transverse sections and they will be seen in different ways because of different perspectives, but in both sections, well-colored nuclei can be seen and central to the cell, also the cells have a tapered shape ... Something that differs from neurons since they are star shaped.

Muscle cuts can be seen with histological techniques such as hematoxylin and eosin or PAS, whereas nerve structures such as nerves must be seen through Argentine impression.

The nerves in turn present peripheral myelin structures or not .. Where it is called a myelin sheath and it surrounds them in a sauteed way along the axon. In turn, the somas present the central nucleus to the cell just like the muscle cells ...

The nerves with the muscles make up the motor unit, which is the presynaptic membrane, intersynaptic space and the postsynaptic muscular membrane, it is here that magic and the induction of contraction take place.

Explanation:

Finally, another thing to add is that the neurons, in turn, are isolated cells that interconnect with each other to transmit their stimuli, which is fundamental, as well as the function of cardiac muscle cells, in both cell types, the prolongation of the stimulus or chemical signal is essential.

1. How is it possible for a phospholipid to be hydrophilic and hydrophobic? (2)<br> 1
swat32
Phospholipids consist of a glycerol molecule, two fatty acids, and a phosphate group that is modified by an alcohol. The phosphate group is the negatively-charged polar head, which is hydrophilic. The fatty acid chains are the uncharged, nonpolar tails, which are hydrophobic.

Why are dna and dna replication important
Semmy [17]
DNA is important because it is a molecule that encodes the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of every living thing.  

DNA replication is important because cells multiply through replication, and if DNA could not replicate then cell replication would not be possible.  This is important for growth and healing.

Without DNA and DNA replication almost all living organisms would not exist.

a student builds an model of her bedroom. the scale is 1:25 in the scale model, the students bed is 3 inches long how long is he
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The size of actual bed is 75 inches

Explanation:

Scale refers to the ratio of the original dimension to the dimension on paper (miniaturised dimension). Since it is a ratio, it has no dimension.

Scale= original dimension/miniaturised dimension

Given that scale is 1:25

It means that every 1 inch on paper would correspond to 25 inches in reality.

The length of the model bed= 3 inches

Hence, the length of the original bed is 25*3 = 75 inches

∴ Length of the actual bed of the student is 75 inches.
