Answer:
True
Explanation:
The calcitonin/calcitonin gene-related peptide (CALCA) gene is used to encode different peptide sequences (i.e., calcitonin hormone, calcitonin-related peptides and katacalcin) through alternative RNA splicing. These peptides have different functions. Calcitonin is a hormone mainly produced by cells of the thyroid gland, which is involved in the control of levels of calcium and phosphate in the blood. Moreover, katacalcin is a peptide synthesized from the same precursor of calcitonin (and therefore also mainly produced by cells of the thyroid gland), which is implicated in both calcium regulation and skeletal maintenance. Finally, the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a peptide mainly produced by sensory nerves (type Aδ fibers ), which is involved in pain pathways. The CALCA gene has attracted considerable attention from geneticists because it is specifically expressed in neuroendocrine tissues in normal conditions and abnormally induced in septic conditions (i.e., during the body's extreme response to an infection).
Answer:
'Organelles are structures within a cell that perform specific functions, like controlling cell growth, and producing energy.'
Explanation:
"Plant and animal cells can contain similar types of organelles. However, certain organelles can only be found in plant cells and certain organelles can only be found in animal cells."
Answer:
C) It has a long preganglionic fibers
Explanation:
Peripheral nervous system (PNS) is the nervous system that contains nerves and ganglia outside the central nervous system (CNS). PNS is divided into:
- somatic (voluntary) nervous system-controls the movements of the skeletal muscles
- autonomic (involuntary) nervous system-controls the smooth muscles and glands and thus it is the regulator of the major body functions. It is subdivided into tree groups:
- sympathetic ("fight and flight") system-responsible for stressful and active situations (but also in normal conditions);contains short preganglionic fibers and long postganglionic fibers.
- parasympathetic ("rest and digest") system-opposite to sympathetic, responsible for the maintenance of body's activities at rest.
- enteric nervous system-controls the function of the gastrointestinal tract.
Answer:
Participation.
Explanation:
Both are moving downwards. Participation falls from the sky.
Answer:
Yes, the faster the organism breathes, the greater air exchange. The blood will increase & stimulate much faster.
