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.

Why do resistant bacteria multiply faster after a patient has taken antibiotics compared to a healthy person who has not taken a
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

When patient takes in antibiotics the resistance bacteria gets a competitive survival advantage over the normal sensitive bacteria and hence grows faster.

Explanation:

  • Bacteria can acquire resistance by taking in plasmids containing MDR (Multi-Drug Resistance) gene cassettes. The MDR genes produces proteins that can:
  1. Render the antibiotic ineffective to act on its target by inducing chemical modifications on the drug.
  2. Promote efflux of the drug from the bacterial cell so that the drug cannot act upon its target.
  • When a healthy person ( having no prior exposure to the antibiotic) is infected by bacteria ( both sensitive and resistant varieties):
  1. A competition develops for the host cells and nutrients between the sensitive and the resistant variety.
  2. This mutual competition restricts either of the sensitive or resistant bacterial strain to grow profusely.
  • When a person (having prior antibiotic exposure), gets infected by bacteria ( both sensitive and resistant varieties) and is exposed to the same antibiotic:
  1. The sensitive variety, due to its sensitivity towards the drug, gets killed.
  2. The resistant variety, due to its MDR genes, bypasses the lethal effect of the drug and survives.
  3. These surviving resistant bacteria can now infect all the available host cells and utilise all the available nutrients without facing any competition and multiply rapidly.

The idea that males and females of approximately equal physical attractiveness are likely to select each other as partners refer
VladimirAG [237]
The idea that males and females of approximately equal physical attractiveness are likely to select each other as partners refers to the Matching hypothesis. 
In the field of social psychology, the idea that people are more likely to form successful relationships with and express liking for people whole level of physical attractiveness roughly equals their own. 
A good example is. A man of average attractiveness goes on one date with an extremely attractive person, and then another with an average-looking person. He finds he likes the average-looking date more.
