Lana71 [14]4 years ago
7 0

Similar to the other types of muscle, smooth muscle contraction is caused by the sliding of myosin and actin filaments over each other. Calcium initiates contractions in a different way in a smooth muscle than in a skeletal muscle.

Smooth muscles use less energy to generate the given amount of force, can substain contractile force without fatigue & uses calcium from the sarcoplasic reticulum & extracellular space.

vitfil [10]

Answer: False

Explanation:

Just because an environmental agent is not harmful does not mean that it is beneficial therefore not all non-harmful environmental agents that a pregnant woman ingests aid in the development of the fetus.

This is where the Placenta comes in. It filters out the agents and nutrients that are not needed and passes only the relevant ones to the fetus thereby ensuring that not all non-harmful agents pass through.

uysha [10]

There are several techniques that can be used in studying the brain of human beings such as magnetic resonance imaging, magnetoencephalography etc.

Some of the techniques that are used to study the structure of the brain and ita functions are:

  • Electroencephalogram (EEG): This is used for the detection of electrical activity in the human brain. It helps in the detection of abnormalities that an individual can have in their brain.

  • Magnetoencephalography (MEG): This is a technique that's used for investigating the activities of the human brain. In this test, sensors are used in the formation of an image regarding magnetic fields that are produced within the human brain.

  • Magnetic resonance imagining: This is when radio waves that are computer generated and magnetic fields are used in testing the brain. This helps in providing images of the brain.

In conclusion, the above techniques are used in testing the brain in order to carry out further research on the person.
