<h2>C) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

  • The spinal cord has numerous groups of nerve fibers going towards and coming from the brain
  • These have been collectively called the ascending and descending tracts of the spinal cord, respectively, these tracts are responsible for carrying sensory and motor stimuli to and from the periphery (respectively)
  • The ascending tracts transmit sensory information from the sensory receptors to higher levels of the CNS
  • The descending tracts originate from different cortical areas and from brain stem nuclei
  • The descending pathway carry information associated with maintenance of motor activities such as posture, balance, muscle tone, and visceral and somatic reflex activity

What do you notice about the ligands and their receptors in these images?
aliina [53]

Answer:

What can be noticed about the ligands and their receptor is that the configuration of both coincide, as a key would with its lock, which demonstrates the specificity of a receptor by its ligand.

Explanation:

A <u>ligand</u> corresponds to a molecule considered a signal or a messenger, while the <u>receptor</u> is a protein on the cell surface, with the capacity to accept a ligand.

Ligands and receptors constitute pairs that complement each other, so that <u>each receptor can bind to a specific ligand</u>, similar to what happens with a key and a lock.

Once the ligand-receptor complex is formed, changes occur inside the cell, which define a certain effect.
