At the end of the esophagus is a thick ring of a muscle called a sphincter which allows food to enter the stomach but not from the stomach back into the esophagus. Once the food enters the stomach it is mixed with the digestive juices.

There are two properties that affect the conduction speed of an action potential along an axon: die axon's diameter and whether
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

 Axons with high  diameter, and myelinated will conduct action potential faster.

Axons with low diameter but myelinated will be  relatively  slow in the speed of action potential transmission

Axons with high diameter and unmyelinated will be relatively slow in action potential transmission.  

Axons with low diameter, and unmyelinated will conduct action potential slowly .

Explanation:

Diameter of Axon affects conduction speed of Action Potential; the thick axons with  high diameter conducts action potential at a faster speed than thin neurons. This is because of the less resistance to the transmission of action potential along the thick axon. However, thin neurons with   lower diameter has more resistance to the action potential conduct along the axon, thus the speed of transmission is slow.  

Myelinated neuron transmits action potential faster because of   jumping of action potential at the nodes of Ranvier where there is highest concentration of all channel proteins and pump proteins, Therefore action potential is conducted at a faster rate as it jumps from one node to another. This is salutatory conduction. It increases the conduct about 50 times compare to unmyelinated neuron. In neuron of human it increases the speed to 100ms-1

.Conversely, unmyelinated neurone  conducts action potential slowly. About 0.5ms-1 . This is because no salutatory conduction takes place because there is no myelin interruption as Nodes of Ranvier

Match each movement with the correct label.
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

flexion - depression

extension - elevation

adduction - medial rotation

abduction - lateral rotation

Explanation:

Flexion is the process of bending an arm or leg. It occurs as a result of the contraction of the muscles. Depression is a downward movement. Hence, flexion refers to the depression of an arm or leg.

Extension is the process of stretching the body parts. Elevation is an upward movement. Hence, extension refers to the elevation of body parts.

Adduction is the movement of a limb or other part of the body towards the midline or another part of the body. The movement of the limb towards the midline of the body is known as medial rotation.

Abduction is the movement of a limb or other part of the body away from the midline of the body. The movement of the limb away from the midline of the body is known as lateral rotation.
