Artemon [7]3 years ago

<span>The cytoskeleton is a structure found in the cytoplasm that is composed of a web of proteins. It is a network composed of protein microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. They can be found in all living organisms and are responsible for giving them their distinct cell shapes and coherence. 

Aside from providing the cell shape, the cytoskeleton is also responsible for cell movement, organelle movement, and cell division.</span> <span>It plays a crucial role in cell division because they provide the movement of chromosomes to the daughter nucleus. The absence of these protein filaments would result to different abnormalities and diseases in the genes. </span>

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Integrin molecules serve as stable, permanent anchors that anchor a cell to the extracellular matrix.

Explanation:

Integrins are transmembrane protein receptors that attach the cell cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix (ECM) in animal cells. These glycoproteins (integrins) are highly dynamic heterodimeric molecules that anchor cells in their position and transduce signals into and out of cells. Integrin-ligand binding activates signaling pathways that are involved in fundamental cellular functions including, among others, organization of the cell cytoskeleton, cell migration, regulation of the cell cycle, etc.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The increased activity prior to the saccade reflects a shift in attention to the stimulus inside that neuron's receptive field.

Explanation:

They observed that the neurological basis of attention, first made in the superior colliculus has been extended to a number of areas in both the dorsal and ventral streams.

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

B. decreases salivation and increases blood pressure

Explanation:

The sympathetic nervous system is part of the autonomous nervous system which controls involuntary responses of the body such as salivation and blood pressure.

The sympathetic nervous system  is majorly responsible for body actions that are produced when threat is perceived. It generates responses referred to as the “fight or flight” response. Examples of such responses include, increased breathing, increased high blood pressure, dilation, decreased salivation, etc.

Activation of the sympathetic nervous system would result in rise in the blood pressure as can be witnessed by someone whose body has perceived a threat or reacting to a stressful situation.

The control of salivary production by the sympathetic nervous system  leads to the release of noradrenaline which acts on certain receptors that results in decrease in the production of saliva. This is evident in a person that is facing a threat also.
