Muscle has desmosomes and gap junctions in intercalated discs which help the tissue withstand the stress of contraction without

the cells separating and electrically couples the cells.
Biology
1 answer:
dolphi86 [110]3 years ago
5 0

The gap junctions electrically tie all the cardiac muscle cells in combination into a single contractile unit. The desmosomes inhibit the adjacent cells from segregating at the time of contraction, and the gap junctions permit ions to pass from cell to cell, conducting current through the whole heart.  

The main function of the intercalated discs is to hold the nearby cells in combination by offering the sites of strong adherence.

A mutation in a gene that controls mitosis in cells may cause? a) cancer. b) cystic fibrosis. c) albinism. d) meiosis.
harkovskaia [24]
The answer is <span>a) cancer.

</span><span>Cells must control mitosis (cell division) in order to maintain normal cell function. If something happens to the control of mitosis, the healthy cells will divide uncontrollably. These new cells are cancer cells and they are also out of control. They will continue to divide uncontrollably, so the mass of the cancer cells will grow.
</span>Regarding other choices:
- cystic fibrosis is an inherited disorder of lungs and digestive system,
- albinism is a congenital disorder characterised by the absence of pigment in the skin and hair,
- meiosis is cell division resulting in the reduction of a chromosome number in half.

Serous membranes line certain cavities within the anterior body cavity. <br> a. true <br> b. false
crimeas [40]

Serous membranes line certain cavities within the anterior body cavity. This statement is FALSE.

Serous membrane, also known as serosa in anatomy, is a silky tissue membrane made of mesothelium that lines the interior of bodily cavities and their contents. It secretes serous fluid to permit greased sliding motions between friction surface. Organs housed in body cavities that don't open up to the outside are covered by serous membranes that line the body cavities. The epithelium secretes a thin coating of serous fluid that coats serous membranes.

An indication of a serous membrane is the lining of the thorax. The pleura is the name for the serous membrane found in the thorax. The visceral pleura, the innermost layer, is on the lungs, whereas the parietal pleura, the outermost layer, is on the interior layer of the thorax.
