Answer:

B) It can remain, circulating in the blood indefinitely, this is not a fate of glucose circulating in the blood of a healthy individual.

Explanation:

Glucose is produced by breaking down carbohydrates, principally in the small intestine, when we eat a meal containing carbohydrates.This glucose enters the bloodstream.When glucose is in excess, the body stores it away in the form of glycogen in a process stimulated by insulin. Glycogen is a large highly branched structure, made from lots of glucose molecules linked together.Glycogen is mainly stored in the liver and muscles, therefore, excess glucose is removed from the blood stream and stored.

Insulin signals to the cell to translocate Glut 4 to the cell membrane, so that large amounts of glucose can be taken into the cell, via the Glut 4 transporters and converted into glycogen and used as a fuel for cellular activities. Furthermore with the help of insulin, converted into fatty acids, circulated to other parts of the body and stored as fat in adipose tissue.

How does the structure of each type of neuron relate to its function in the nervous system?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Motor neurons:

A. Function:

It relay messages coming from the brain or spinal cord to the muscles or organs.

B. Structure:

●Presence of long axons due to long distances the signals have to travel to the muscle its stimulating.

●It's myelinated, to assist the signal in travelling long distances as soon as possible.

Sensory neurons:

A. Function: its sensory receptors respond to stimuli by converting it into an electrical signal to the brain or spinal cord.

B. Structure:

●Presence of long dendrites / axons

● its myelinated

●since it's found in the middle of the neuron it forms ganglia that unites in the spinal cord and aid in involuntary reflexes.

Interneurons:

Structure:

● shorter than motor or sensory neurons

● has branches, a lot of branches consisting of axons and dendrites off the cell body to enable multiple simultaneous between neurons

● It's body is partially myelinated.

●occurs in large clusters of neurons to compensate for its partial myelination to speed up the signal
