The myelin sheath on a neuron allows nerve impulses to be faster because

Biology

blondinia [14]3 years ago

Axons with large diameters conduct impulse faster than those with small diameters. Also Myelinated axons conduct impulse faster than unmyelinated axons. Axons with the largest diameter are all myelinated, therefore they are capable of salatory conduction (Impulses jump from one myelinated node to another). The smallest diameter axons are unmyelinated, so their conduction is continuous.
I hope this helps. :) :)

Explain the stages of tissue repair and fill in the blanks.
svp [43]

Answer:

a. Following an injury that breaks the surface of the skin. blood vessels dilate as a result of histamine release from mast cells and other damaged cells.

b. The blood forms a clot and upon drying, a scab forms a barriers between the body and the environment, while phagocytes work to clear the underlying debris from the wound site.

c. Blood vessels begin to re-grow into the wound while fibroblasts begin process of replacing the blood clot with Collagen

d. The remodeling phase then occurs as fibrosis and regeneration of tissues may continue for prolonged period of time.

Explanation:

Hello. Although you did not have all the answer options for the blanks presented in the sentences above, it is possible to conclude that the words in bold are the most appropriate to fill these spaces.

That's because when we cut ourselves, the blood vessels on the surface of our skin rapidly dilate, allowing a flow of blood to be observed. This dilation is accomplished by the release of histamine, which is released by mast cells, which are glands that regulate the immune response. At this point, it is important that any impuzera or microorganism, close to the wound site, is removed and this site undergoes cleaning. This is done by phagocytes, which are intended to prevent the cut from becoming the entrance to a bacterial infection.

Then the blood vessels begin to move and grow again across the wound, with the aim of covering this opening. In this comment, fibroblasts begin to apply collagen and replace the blood clot formed to prevent blood loss. Collagen will be responsible for maintaining the skin and tissues that will be rebuilt in the remodeling phase.

True or false: Most muscles contain a combination of all three muscle types, slow oxidative, fast oxidative, and fast glycolytic
kkurt [141]

Thanks to what we know about muscles and the fibers they contain, we can confirm that the statement in the question is in fact true.

Muscle is a type of tissue which due to coordinated systems that make up their composition, have the ability to contract. This ability allows for greater efficiency. In humans, the muscle systems are classified into three kinds:

  1. Cardiac muscle
  2. Skeletal muscle
  3. Smooth muscle

Despite the different classifications and functions of each muscle type, each of these muscles contains a combination of three types of muscle fibers, which are the fibers listed in the question:

  1. Slow oxidative
  2. Fast oxidative
  3. Fast glycolytic.

The minimum amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction is known as:
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The correct option is B. Activation energy

Explanation:

The activation energy is usually used to designate the minimum energy necessary for a given chemical reaction to occur, that is, the basic requirement for the reaction to proceed.

For a reaction to occur between two molecules, they must collide in the correct orientation and have a minimum amount of energy. As the molecules approach, their electron clouds are rejected. This requires energy (activation energy) and comes from the heat of the system, that, is, from translational, vibrational energy, etc of each molecule. If the energy is sufficient, the repulsion is overcome and the molecules are close enough for a rearrangement of the bonds of the molecules.

The concept of Activation energy was introduced by Arrhenius in 1889. Arrhenius suggested that molecules must prossess a minimum amount of energy to react. That energy comes from the kinetic energy of the clliding molecules. Kinetic energy serves to cause reactions, but if the molecules move very slowly, the molecules will only bounce when they collide with other molecules and the reaction does not happen. In order for the molecules to react, they must have a total kinetic energy that is equal to or greater than a certain minimum value of energy called activation energy.
