The efferent division of the peripheral nervous system innervates ________ cells.

Biology
1 answer:
Marina CMI [18]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

heart muscle , skeletal muscle , glandula and smooth muscle

Explanation:

The peripheral system distinguishes two major divisions: the afferent and the efferent. Afferent division is formed by the nerves that carry information to the central nervous system. In the efferent division the information travels from the central system to the effector organs, both muscular and other (including skeletal muscle, heart, glands, smooth muscle). Within the efferent division, in turn, two systems are distinguished, the somatic and the visceral or autonomous.

The somatic system conducts the signals that give rise to body movements and actions outside the body. It is formed by the fibers of the motor neurons that innervate the skeletal muscles; Their cell bodies are found in the spinal cord and a single axon reaches the muscle fibers it innervates. The action of these motor neurons always consists in the excitation and contraction of the muscles, although muscular activity can be inhibited by inhibitory synapses in charge of central system neurons.

The visceral system is formed by the fibers that innervate the smooth muscles, the heart, the glands and other non-motor organs or tissues, such as brown fat. It controls functions that are mainly related to the maintenance of internal environment conditions and also certain automatic responses to external stimuli. Regulates visceral activities such as circulation, digestion, thermoregulation.

Hypoparathyroidism may be caused by: a. Problems following surgery, an autoimmune disorder, or congenital defects b. Heavy expos
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A

Explanation:

Hypoparaghyroidism occurs when thyroid gland produce little parathyroid hormone.

This is caused by:

1. Injury to the parathyroid glands during thyroid and neck surgery.

2. It is also caused by auto immune disorder. This is as a result when the body's natural defence against invading organisms starts to attack perfectly healthy tissues.

3. Congenital defects: This is as a result when infants are born without parathyroid tissue, that is ability to make thyroid glands or when the mother has hypoparathyroidism.

A plant can have green (G) or yellow (g) leaves. It can also have a long (K) or
erastova [34]

Answer:

The options are incomplete, however, the question can still be answered based on general understanding. The possible gametes are:

GK, Gk, gK and gk

Explanation:

This question involved two different genes coding for leaf color and stem length respectively. In the first gene, the allele for green color is 'G' while the allele for yellow color is 'g'. In the second gene, the allele for long stem is 'K' while the allele for short stem is 'k'.

According to this question, a scientist is preparing a Punnett square for a dihybrid cross of a plant with a genotype GgKk. Based on Mendel's law of SEGREGATION, this plant with genotype: GgKk will undergo meiosis where the alleles of each gene will separate into possible gametes as follows:

GK, Gk, gK and gk

Note that, only one allele of each gene is present in each gamete.
