Skeletal muscle support and Movement. Skeletal muscles move the body. Skeletal muscle contractions pull on tendons, which are attached to bones. If contraction of the muscle causes the muscle to shorten, the bone and, thus, the body part will move. so your answer is D

Hi Mimi9758,

Keep in mind that when speaking of muscle (I'm assuming in a mammal) there are three types:

skeletal muscle
smooth muscle
cardiac muscle

skeletal muscle is under voluntary control, smooth muscle in under autonomic control, and cardiac muscle is under the control of the pace-maker cells of the sinoatrial (SA) or the atrioventricular (AV) node

So, marching down through these:

A) moves food and substances through the GI tract - this would be SMOOTH muscle

B) helps maintain body posture - this would be SKELETAL muscle

C) promotes the flow of lymph - tricky... this would also be the SKELETAL muscles: contraction of skeletal muscles "squeezes" the fluid in the lymphatics, which ultimately drain into the venous system

D) moves the bones of the skeleton: this would be SKELETAL muscle

E: helps to adjust blood vessel diameter: this would be SMOOTH muscle

So, the correct answers would be: B, C, and D

Hope this helps!

Good luck

When a baby is born why is it important that type 2 alveolar cells are functioning normally?
nirvana33 [79]
There are two types of alveolar cells. The type I alveolar cells which lines the alveoli and much more abundant than type II alveolar cells. Then the type II alveolar cells lesser in number but functions differently than type I alveolar cells. Type II alveolar cells secrete surfactant (composed of lecitin and sphingomyelin) for the lungs. Surfactant reduces the surface tension inside the alveoli, preventing alveolar consolidation. This is important as babies with dysfunctional type II alveolar cells (usually preterm babies less than 32 weeks age of gestation) will have respiratory distress syndrome in the absence of surfactant.

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Common to all plant species, the cell wall is the tough outer coat that protects the plant cell. The cell wall is mostly carbohydrate‐based, comprising three major classes of polysaccharides: cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin. There are also important structural proteins as well as phenolic and aliphatic polymers.
