<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option A which is communication.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Nerve cells have a different structure from other types of body cells due to a different function.

The function of the nerve cell is to communicate the nerve signals in the nervous system from the receptor to the brain and from the brain to the effector.

The nerve cell has a cell body and an extended fiber type area known as the axon.

This specific structure is suitable for the transport of nerve impulse from one end to another which is for the communication between two nerve cells.

I would say communication, as neurons transmits messages from one part to another part of the body

To keep the humeral head centered within the glenoidal cavity the rotator cuff muscles must be __________. Select to launch anim
enyata [817]

Answer:

<h2> located in the same plane</h2>

Explanation:

  • Such types of muscles and tendons that play an important role in the stabilization of the shoulder are called rotator cuff muscle.
  • These muscles are responsible for the different types of motion and simply called a different range of motion.
  • Muscles like scapulohumeral muscles,  infraspinatus muscle and some others are grouped as rotator muscle.
  • These muscles are involved in the movement of the shoulder and also stabilize the joints of the shoulder for the movement and during the movement.
  • When the humeral head is centered within the cavity of the glenoidal then the rotator cuff muscle should be on the same plane.

A decrease in the resting membrane potential is __________ whereas, __________ is an increase in the membrane potential.
nexus9112 [7]

Answer: depolarization; hyperpolarization

Explanation:

At resting potential (absence of stimulus), the cell membrane of a neuron is said to be polarized with a net negative charge within due to more potassium (K+) ions present than sodium (Na+) ions.

However, an impressed stimuli reverses the ions content as K+ ions flows out and quickly replaced by Na+ ions, resulting in a decrease in membrane potential and a more positive cell membrane. Thus, depolarization occurs.

An increase in the membrane potential (so that it becomes more negative) is called hyperpolarization.

what is the significance of diffusion and osmosis in living organism ?give one example in support of your answer​
olasank [31]

Answer:

Diffusion is the process in which molecules and ions move from a region of high concentration to low concentration. Its also how cells transport waste out of the cell and nutrients into it hence being very crucial. Diffusion also occurs without the expenditure of extra energy using a procedure known as passive transport. (Osmosis is a form of diffusion but deals with water exclusively).

Examples of where diffusion is important;

In the intestines - Digested food molecules such as amino acids and glucose move down the concentration gradient from the intestine into the bloodstream. Wastes such as carbon dioxide or urea travel via diffusion from the body's cells to the bloodstream.

Osmosis plays a major role in living organisms. It aids in the transportation of nutrients from cells to cells and also helps to remove the waste's metabolic products from the cell. The purification of blood in the kidneys is also dependent on the process of osmosis.
