Answer:

the X in the given diagram is capillaries.

Suppose a drug is developed that blocks K+ leakage channels. The drug prevents ions from passing through those channels. If this
Sav [38]

Answer: 1. The resting membrane potential would become less negative (more positive).

Explanation:

Resting membrane potential is a voltage carried by a resting (non-signaling) neuron, or called as resting potential, across its membrane.  The resting potential is determined by ion concentration gradients across the membrane, and the permeability of the membrane to each ion form.  

In a resting brain, there are gradients of concentration across the Na+ and K+ membranes. Forces shift their gradients down through channels, resulting in a separation of charges that provides the potential for rest. The membrane is much more permeable to K+ than to Na+, so the resting potential is similar to K+'s potential for equilibrium.

Hence, the correct option is 1. The resting membrane potential would become less negative (more positive).

Which of the following is not characteristic of smooth muscle? A) The striations are due to the orderly arrangement of actin and
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

A) The striations are due to the orderly arrangement of actin and myosin

Explanation:

Smooth muscles are non-striated involuntary muscles which are found in the walls of stomach, urinary bladder, blood vessels...Smooth muscle tissue is composed of spindle-shaped muscle cells with single central nucleus. Like the other two type of muscles (cardiac and skeletal), smooth muscles also have four main functions:

  • Contractility-ability to contract. In the case of skeletal muscles it is voluntary, while in cardiac and smooth muscles it is unconscious.
  • Excitability-ability to change  membrane potential usually by the influence of nervous impulse.
  • Extensibility-the capacity to lengthen
  • Elasticity-ability to change its length and then return to previous.
