Answer:

Schwann cell is A type of glial cell of the peripheral nervous system that helps separate and insulate nerve cells.

it's function are:

1.Schwann cells serve as the myelinating cell of the PNS

2.it support cells of peripheral neurons.

3.it forms a myelin sheath by wrapping its plasma membrane concentrically around the inner axon.

4.it helps to separate and insulate nerve cells.

schwann cells serve as the myelinating cell of the PNS and support cells of peripheral neurons . A schwann cell forms a myelin sheath bt wrapping it's plasma membrane concentrically around the inner axon .

STRUCTURE

schwann cells are variety of glial cells that keep peripheral neuron fibres ( both myelinating and unmyelinating ) alive .In myelinated axons , schwann cells form the myelin sheath . The sheath is not continuous

FUNCTION

one of the most important function of the schwann cells is to myelinate the axons of the PNS . myelin whuch is a fatty layer thst insulates the axon , helps to increase the saltatory condunction of neuron . A myelinating schwann cells wraps around a single axon.

hope this ans help you .

thankyou

When a nerve impulse reaches the end of an axon, the axon terminal released ACh into the synaptic cleft. 2. ACh diffuses across the cleft and attaches to the ACh receptors on the sarcolemma of the muscle fiber. 3. ACh binding triggers electrical events that ultimately generate an action potential.

QUE SON LA BIOMOLECULAS​
DIA [1.3K]

Son consideradas biomoléculas aquellas moléculas que forman parte de los organismos vivos.  

Las moléculas son las unidades físicas de la materia, que se forman a partir de la unión de dos o más átomos agrupados a través de enlaces químicos.

Las biomoléculas se clasifican en inorgánicas u orgánicas.

• Las biomoléculas inorgánicas se encuentran ampliamente en la atmósfera. El agua, algunas sales como el cloruro de sodio, y gases como el oxígeno, son ejemplos de biomoléculas inorgánicas.  

• A las moléculas como azúcares, proteínas, combustibles, entre otras, las cuáles contienen átomos de carbono, hidrógeno, oxígeno y a veces nitrógeno se les llama moléculas orgánicas.

Cuando las moléculas orgánicas forman parte de la materia viva, se les conoce como biomoléculas orgánicas, las cuales incluyen fundamentalmente glúcidos, lípidos, proteínas y ácidos nucleicos.

Por lo tanto, podemos concluir que las moléculas (compuestos que se forman a partir de los elementos químicos) que se encuentran formando los seres vivos se conocen como biomoléculas y se clasifican en inorgánicas u orgánicas.

Describe the forces at a divergent boundary.
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

A divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other. Along these boundaries, earthquakes are common and magma (molten rock) rises from the Earth's mantle to the surface, solidifying to create new oceanic crust. ... Two plates sliding past each other forms a transform plate boundary.

Critical protein-protein interactions within the CARMA1-BCL10-MALT1 complex: Take-home points for the cell biologist
dolphi86 [110]

Protein-protein interactions within the CARMA1-BCL10-MALT1 complex:

  • The T-cell receptor and B-cell receptor-dependent NF-B induction and lymphocyte activation are mediated by the CBM complex, which is made up of the proteins CARMA1, BCL10, and MALT1.
  • Each of the proto-oncoproteins CARMA1, BCL10, and MALT1 is a somatic gain-of-function mutation or chromosomal translocation, and dysregulation of CBM signaling is a characteristic of numerous lymphoid malignancies, including Activated B-cell Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma.
  • Moreover, a number of immunological dysregulation diseases have been linked to both gain- and loss-of-function germline mutations in CBM complex proteins.
  • Over the past ten years, careful examination of the interactions of CBM components has yielded a wealth of detailed structural knowledge.
  • Here, we discuss important discoveries about the molecular nature of these protein-protein interactions that have helped the research develop a detailed understanding of how these proteins come together to form high-order filamentous CBM complexes.
  • Approaches to therapeutic suppression of the CBM complex have thus far centered on obstructing MALT1 protease activity in order to treat lymphoid malignancy and/or autoimmunity.
  • The structural effects of MALT1 protease inhibitors on significant protein-protein interactions are also reviewed in detail.
