<h2>Description of muscle tissues. </h2>

Explanation:

There are three types of muscle tissue are cardiac, smooth, and skeletal.

1. Cardiac muscle tissue: It is located in the walls of the heart.

They appear striated.

Control is involuntary.

Function: To pump blood through the blood vessels in your body.

2. Smooth muscle tissue: It is located in walls of hollow visceral organs, except the heart.

They appear spindle-shaped.

Control is involuntary.

Function: To move food through the digestive tract.

To regulates air flow in lungs.

3. Skeletal muscle tissue: It occur in muscles which are attached to the skeleton.

They appear striated.

Control is voluntary.

Function: To support the body.

It makes bones and other body parts move.

Cell shape : There are different shapes of cells which are as follows:

1. Squamous 2.Cuboidal 3. Columnar 4. Polygonal 5. Stellate

6. Spheroid 7. Discoid 8. Fusiform 9. Fibrous.

Muscular layer: The muscular layer is present in many organs in the vertebrate body.

It is responsible for peristaltic movement in body.

There are two layers of muscle.

1. Inner 2. Outer layer.

Inner layer: The muscle of the inner layer is arranged in circular rings around the tract.

Outer layer: the muscle of the outer layer is arranged longitudinally.

Intercellular connections or junctions: These are the structures which provide adhesion and communication between cells.

There are mainly three types of junctions:

1. Tight junctions: It help to stop substances from leaking across a tissue.

2. Adhering junctions: It perform the function of cementing so as to keep neighbouring cells together.

3. Gap junctions: It facilitate the cells to communicate with each other by connecting the cytoplasm of adjoining cells, for rapid transfer of ions, small molecules and sometimes big molecules.

Use the following information when answering the following question In 1668, Francesco Redi performed a series of experiments on

Temka [501]

Answer:

The correct answer is: a. Maggots do not arise spontaneously, but from eggs laid by adult flies.

Explanation:

In the given experiment,

The meat in the open jars can be directly accessed by the adult flies for consumption. While accessing the food, some of these adult flies can lay egg into the jars which hatch to give rise to new maggots.
The meat in jars closed by a gauze is exposed to the air but cannot be accessed by the adult flies as the flies are prevented from entering into the jar due to the presence of the gauze. As a result of this the flies do not consume meat, nor do they lay eggs and so no maggots will appear in this jar.

Using radio telescopes, astronomers have found evidence the new matter is forming in the universe, which is what the big bang theory predicted.

Your answer is B

Well since the big bang theory already supports the idea of new matter forming, we are using new technology to prove an existing theory

In this case, we are using new technology to prove existing theories. NOT making new ones, or modifying them.

How would the organization of a single celled organism to a multicellular organism the same

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

They both contain multiple systems, which can be called organs or organelles, to function.

Explanation:

A single cell contains multiple small organs, called organelles, that give it energy and allow it to function as a living creature. Multicellular organisms are larger-scale versions of single-celled organisms, and while each cell has its own organelles, the larger organism has organs (such as the heart and lungs).
