Wax is secreted in the ear to reduce water and friction of sound waves. This is done by fat producing cells that break open alon
lara [203]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A. Merocrine gland

B. Apocrine gland

C. Salivary gland

D. Holocrine gland

Answer:

D. Holocrine gland

Explanation:

Exocrine glands are the organs or the subcellular structures which secrete a substance which is excreted out of the body.

The exocrine glands are different from the endocrine glands as their secreted products are released out of the body which is not in the case of endocrine glands.

The wax is secreted by the sebaceous glands by the production of cells that break along the base of the garland with substance into the ductal system by the exocrine glands called Holocrine glands.

Thus, Option-D is the correct answer.

Holocrine glands will release whole broken open cells into their ductal system. These cells contain the stores of substance to be released by the gland. This method of secretion requires frequent cell turnover and replacement.

The nucleus of prokaryotic cells are represented by what?​
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Nucleoid

Explanation:

Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms that lack organelles or other internal membrane-bound structures. Therefore, they do not have a nucleus, but, instead, generally have a single chromosome: a piece of circular, double-stranded DNA located in an area of the cell called the nucleoid.

Axons of the nervous system are described as afferent and efferent according to the direction in which they carry information. W
Ahat [919]

Answer:

The correct option is b) motor output of the spinal cord

Explanation:

Motor neurons, also called afferent neurons, drive impulses from the brain and spinal cord to the receptors (eg, muscles). They are the motor output component of the spinal cord.

The spinal cord is a cord of nerve tissue that runs inside the spine. It conducts the nerve impulses that arrive from the receptors to the brain, and the responses with the motor orders from the brain to the effector organs. Thus, the brain receives the information and can develop an order that modifies the reflex response given by the spinal cord. A spinal nerve has two nerve roots: a motor and a sensory root. The motor root has nerve fibers that carry signals from the spinal cord, to the muscles to stimulate contraction and produce muscle movements, the fibers are efferent as they leave the medulla to the periphery through the anterior roots of the spinal nerves.
