Answer:

In the absence of joint spaces (cavities) and bones fused together, body movements would be null or reduced.

Explanation:

The joints are the spaces where two bones meet, with cartilaginous tissue - articular cartilage and ligaments - to allow elasticity and body movements.

The articular cavities are spaces where bone union occurs through ligaments, surrounded by an articular capsule and upholstered inside by a membrane that produces liquid, the membrane and synovial fluid, respectively. These joints are usually found in the mobile body segments.

If the joint cavities did not exist, and the joints occurred between bone and bone, body mobility would not be possible. In the case of the skull bones, they do not have joint space, since their function is the protection of the organs of the central nervous system, not movement.

Answer:

3. the absence of a cell wall in human cells

Explanation:

Animal cells do not have cell walls. Cell membranes separate the cytoplasm of the animal cells from the surroundings and maintain their interior. Plant cells have cellulosic cell walls. A cell wall surrounds the cell membrane of a plant cell. Cell walls serve to provide structural support and protect plant cells from pathogens. Cell walls also help keep excess water out of cells so they do not burst. Therefore, human cheek cells would not have cell walls while the onion cells would have cell walls made up of cellulose.

In homeostasis, what is it that produces the response that moves the physiological variable back towards the middle of its healt

insens350 [35]

Answer:

effector

Explanation:If the value is not at the set point or is outside the normal range, the control center sends a signal to the effector. The effector is an organ, gland, muscle, or other structure that acts on the signal from the control center to move the variable back toward the set point.

What type of fibers are not man made?

Marrrta [24]

Some man-made fibres, too, are derived from naturally occurring polymers. For instance, rayon and acetate, two of the first man-made fibres ever to be produced, are made of the same cellulose polymers that make up cotton, hemp, flax, and the structural fibres of wood.
