Answer:

proprioceptor

Explanation:

Proprioceptors are the receptor located in a joint, muscle, or tendon. These receptors are concerned with locomotion, posture, and muscle tone. These receptors respond to internal stimuli only and are present in a specific location in the body. For example, the tendon organ is a proprioceptor present in the tendon. The function of the tendon organ is to monitor the muscle tension and to prevent its tearing. These receptors also help smooth start and termination of muscle contraction.

Proprioceptors are the mechanoreceptors that regulate the body’s equilibrium and posture by their role in reflex actions that maintain muscle tone. They sense the position of limbs by detecting the degree of muscle relaxation, the stretch of tendons, and ligament movements.

Assume that the body has been sectioned along three planes: (1) a median plane, (2) a frontal plane, and (3) a transverse plane
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

lungs and kidneys

Explanation:

The median plane divides the body into two halves through a mid line.

The transverse plain is also known as the axial plane and it divided the body into the upper part and a lower part.

The frontal plane is also known as the coronal plane. It divided the body into the dorsal and ventral sections. The dorsal and ventral sections are the front and back sections ( belly and back).

Lungs and kidneys are the only parts which cannot be seen through all the three plains.

Using your knowledge of the water cycle, why do you think high sea surface
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The correlation between sea surface temperature and water vapor is that both are driven by seasonal changes. They both increase in the hemisphere during summer. Seasonal changes in water vapor are, however, more evident across the land, largely due to changes in land surface temperature.

Most sperm cells die in the vagina when entering the female's body because Most sperm cells die in the vagina when entering the
taurus [48]

Answer:

of the low pH of the vagina.

Explanation:

The pH of the vagina is maintained at highly acidic levels to prevent the germ buildup. The range of vaginal pH is around 3.8 to 4.5. The very low pH of the vagina creates a hostile environment for sperms and most of the sperms are killed as they enter the vagina due to the acidic pH.

Apart from supplementing the sperms with energy, cervical mucus serves to protect the sperms from the hostile conditions of the vagina. The cervical mucus has an alkaline pH at or near the ovulation to protect sperms from acidic pH of the vagina and to facilitate fertilization.
