Answer:
- Oxygen
- The body cells
- Producing energy
Explanation:
We breathe in oxygen from the external environment. Oxygen passes into our lungs and is passed into the blood capilaries. Here it is carried to all the cells throughout the body.
It diffuses into the cells and is necessary for the final stages of energy production by aerobic respiration. Therefore, it is necessary for powering all cellular processes.
Answer: A. Epinephrine functions as a hormone in the endocrine system and as a neurotransmitter in the nervous system.
Explanation: Epinephrine can act as a hormone and also as a neurotransmitter. Epinephrine can also be referred to as adrenaline.
The adrenaline is a hormone that is secreted mainly by the medulla of the adrenal glands and the Epinephrine primary function is to increase cardiac activities and also to increase the level of glucose in the blood. Its actions vary by tissue type and tissue expression of adrenergic receptors. Epinephrine acts on nearly all body tissues.
Answer:
strong, dense outer layer of a bone- compact bone
tissue in the hollow part of the bone- bone marrow
lightweight, inner layer of a bone that
contains many small spaces- spongy bone
Explanation:
Compact bone is also known as cortical bone and is a major property and source of skeletal frames in the body due to its strong, dense outer layer.
Bone marrow is the tissue in the hollow part of the bone. It is important as it helps in the production of blood cells
Spongy bone is also known as cancellous bone. It is the lightweight, inner layer of a bone that contains many small spaces which contains a high proportion of bone marrow.
Muscle cramp refers to the sudden contraction of an involuntary muscle. It can be caused by many factors including inadequate presence of some minerals such as calcium in the body; it can also be caused by poor circulation.
Straightening an althelete's leg and rubbing it vigorously make the muscle to relax and to snap back in place.
Answer: The Auerbach plexus or myenteric plexus.
Explanation: The muscularis externa is a composed layer of muscles, located throughout the gastrointestinal tract. It has an inner circular muscular layer and a longitudinal external muscular layer. Between the two layers there is a part of the nervous system called Myenteric plexus.
A plexus is like a web of axons (nervous tissue) that provides a specific function. In this case, the myenteric plexus has a main function: motility. All the digestive tract (esophagus, stomach and intestine) possess this structure, to give motility or “peristalsis”, so the food could travel all the way from the esophagus through the colon.
