What are the two types of fiber? Why are they important to good health?

Health
1 answer:
Anit [1.1K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Soluble and insoluble fibers are the two types of fiber. Both are important for good health, digestion, and disease prevention.

Water attracts soluble fiber, which transforms to gel during digestion. Digestion is slowed by this. Oat bran, barley, nuts, seeds, beans, lentils, peas, and some fruits and vegetables contain soluble fiber. Psyllium, a common fiber supplement, also contains it.

Some forms of soluble fiber have been shown to help reduce the risk of heart disease.

Wheat bran, fruits, and whole grains are all high in insoluble fiber. It thickens the stool and appears to speed up the passage of food into the stomach and intestines.

Ahat [919]
Attempting to collect the balance due at the time of service can serve for income purposes. It can guarantee that the doctors and the people involved with the procedure can get paid and the costumer will have the chance to access a proceudure. But actualy there are more disadvantages because the medical body can be sued and that they can not get paid if the patient does not feel that the procedure was good. It doesn't cover some expenses and it may not be comfortable neither for the patient nor for the doctors

Identify, define and break down 10 medical terms related to the nervous system.
lutik1710 [3]
Axons are long nerve processes which carry nerve impulses from the Soma to other neurons, they vary in length but can become almost as long as half of the human body.

The soma (body) of the neuron contains the nucleus which acts as the cell's control centre, these contain many small neurofibrils which project from the nucleus into the dendrites.

Dendrites are short, thick processes which branch out of the soma in a tree like manor. They conduct nerve impulses to the soma.
The three categories of neurons:

Afferent (Sensory) Neurons have the dendrites connected to receptors such as the eyes, ears etc. These receptors change the information they receive into electrical impulses that are transmitted to other neurons. In sensory neurons the axons are connected to other neurons.

Efferent (Motor) Neurons have the dendrites connected to other neurons, the axons are connected to effectors. Effectors are either glands or a muscle cell that is the receiving end of the nerve impulse. The nerve, when excited will cause the effector to react (move, contract, or secrete etc).

Internuncial Neurons have both the dendrites and the axons are connected to other neurons. They are sometimes referred to as connector neurons.
Internuncial neurons are found throughout the body, but especially in the spinal cord and brain.

Properties and characteristics of Neurons:
Normally the electrical impulses (messages) travel through a neuron in only one direction.

The axon may be surrounded by a 'coat' of lipids (fats) and proteins known as the myelin sheath which acts as an insulator.

Neurons are specialist cells that have lost the ability to reproduce themselves. Once the soma of a neuron has died the entire neuron dies, and can never be replaced.
Repair of damaged neurons only occurs in myelinated neurons.

white matter are coloured by myelin, consisting of many neurons supported by neuroglia.
grey matter is soma and dendrites or bundles of unmyelinated axons and neuralgia.
