Answer:

Visceral pleura

Explanation:

The pleura forms the main component of the respiratory system whose main objective is to carry out the process of respiration without any difficulty and also to reduce friction during the time of breathing.

It is basically comprised of two types namely-

(1) The Parietal pleura

(2) The Visceral pleura

The visceral pleura can be usually referred to as one of the important and fine membranes that surround the surface of the lungs. It is separated by the parietal pleura due to the presence of a pleural fluid between them.  

On the other hand, the parietal pleura is responsible for surrounding the internal portion of the chest cavity and is comparatively thicker than the visceral pleura.

In salt water fish, chloride cells in the gills: a. actively transport Cl- from the plasma to the ECF. b. actively transport Cl-
lord [1]

Answer:

b. actively transport Cl- from the ECF to the external environment.

Explanation:

Chloride cells are cells that are found in the gills of teleost fishes which pump large amount of sodium and chloride ions out from the extracellular fluid (ECF) into the sea or environment against a concentration gradient in marine fish.

The opposite of this process occurs in freshwater fishes where the gills of freshwater teleost fish, cause an influx of sodium and chloride ions into the fish from the environment, also against a concentration gradient.

Mechanism of action

Salt water teleost fishes take in large amounts of seawater to decrease osmotic dehydration. The excess of ions derived from seawater is thrown out of the teleost fishes through the chloride cells. These cells employs active transport on the basolateral (internal) surface to diffuse in chloride, which then is pumped out of the apical (external) surface, straight into the surrounding environment. Such mitochondria-rich cells are located in the region of the gill lamellae and filaments of teleost fish.

The output region is the site of ______________________.
tester [92]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C (voltage gated Na+ channels).

Explanation:

Output region or axon terminal is the structure of neuron which transmits the signals to other nerve cells.

The signal is transferred via action potential generated by the dendrite cell which moves along the axon and reaches the synaptic junction.  

At the synaptic junction, voltage-gated channel (Na+) channels located in the membrane of the axon terminal cell opens due to the changes in the electric membrane potential which play important role in returning the depolarized cell to a resting state.

Thus, option C (voltage-gated Na+ channels) is the correct answer.
