Answer:

distal convoluted tubule

Explanation:

This is the region  of the nephron downstream the macula densa ,which extends the  to convulence of the collecting duct.Due to response to  mineralocoticoid aldosterone they can be categorised as Distal Convoluted 1 and Distal convoluted 2. This steroid hormones is responsible for homeostatic control of hyperkalemia.

The DCT cells are simple cuboidal epithelium.The stained or  pointed part of the image represented this possess this shape,they are therefore portion of DCT. Besides the stained cells are located above the glomerulus ()in  the cortex as indicated,therefore they can not be the proximal which must be  below the glomerulus, based on the  shape ascending and descending loop of Henle (despite  located in the cortex too).

The functions of the DCT is  in the absorption and secretions of ions(majorly ca+,Na+ and chloride ions.By secreting hydrogen and reabsorbing  HC03 ions ,the pH of the urine is maintained.

Why is the aplysia such a popular animal for single-cell studies of learning?
Feliz [49]

<span>Aplysia is a marine gastropod mollusc which is an often used model organism in neuroscience, especially on the cellular biology of learning and memory. What makes them easy to work with are their giant neurons, which are one of the largest. Aplysia neurons are suitable for studies of how neurons and neural circuits control behaviours. Its defensive reflex has been studied because it is mediated by electrical synapses, which allow several neurons to fire synchronously.</span>
