Complete question:

Question: What is not one of the roles of the parasympathetic nervous system?

a) increases digestive functions

b) maintains resting heart rate

c) stimulating urination

d) controls the diameter of blood vessels

Answer:

d) controls the diameter of blood vessels

Explanation:

The activated parasympathetic nervous system is mainly associated with the rest and digest activities. This division of the autonomic nervous system triggers the digestive glands to release their secretions and stimulate the contractions of smooth muscles of the digestive tract to upregulate the processes of digestion and absorption of nutrients. In this way, the parasympathetic nervous system restores and conserves the energy of the body. It has no effect on the diameter of blood vessels.

The sympathetic nervous system triggers constriction of blood vessels that supply blood to kidneys and digestive tract during emergency conditions. It also dilates the blood vessels that supply blood to skeletal muscles, cardiac muscles and liver to facilitate increased blood supply to these tissues.

Answer:

We could feed them with another type of food free of silver salts.

Explanation:

When talking about a phenocopy, we are referring to individuals who genotypically should be expressing a determined phenotype, but due to environmental influence, they express another phenotype. This is a non-inheritable phenotype, so it is not considered a mutation.

If we grow thy flies feeding them another type of food that does not include silver salts, and let them mate and reproduce, they will express the real phenotype, because they will not be influenced by the food. In the following generation, there will be dark individuals carrying the dominant allele, and yellow individuals, with the recessive genotype.

Which section of the brain is responsible for coordinating muscle movements
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The cerebellum (back of the brain) and the brainstem (middle of the brain)

Explanation:

Muscle movement coordination can be<em> voluntary</em> or <em>involuntary</em>. There are different sections of the brain responsible for the two;

  • Voluntary movement of muscles is coordinated by the brainstem in addition to other functions such as sneezing, swallowing, vomitting, etc.
  • Involuntary coordination of muscles is controlled by the cerebellum in addition to maintaining posture, balance and body equilibrium.

Hence, both the cerebellum and the brainstem are responsible for coordinating muscle movement.
