Answer:
D. Alveoli
Explanation:
Functionally, the respiratory system is separated into a conducting zone and respiratory zone:
Conducting zone consists of the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles. These structures form a continuous passageway for air to move in and out of the lungs.
Respiratory zone is found deep inside the lungs and is made up of the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli. These thin-walled structures allow inhaled oxygen (O2) to diffuse into the lung capillaries in exchange for carbon dioxide (CO2).
The respiratory zone begins where the terminal bronchioles join a respiratory bronchiole, the smallest type of bronchiole, which then leads to an alveolar duct, opening into a cluster of alveoli.
Answer:
The trait that first appears or is visibly expressed in the organism is called the dominant trait. The trait that is present at the gene level but is masked and does not show itself in the organism is called the recessive trait.
Explanation:
1. Action potential reaches the axon terminal and depolarizes it.
2. Depolarization opens voltage-gated calcium channels, enabling influx of Ca into the neuron.
3. Calcium binds to specialized proteins on vesicles (containing pre-made acetylcholine) and triggers them to fuse with the neuron membrane at the synapse.
4. Exocytosis of acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft occurs.
5. Acetylcholine diffuses across the synapse and binds to nicotinic receptors on the end plate of the myocyte.
6. Activated nicotinic receptors, themselves ion channels, cause cation influx into the myocyte and generate an end plate potential. This eventually gives rise to the full depolarization within the myocyte that enables contraction.
