The inferior vena cava empties into the right atrium of the heart.
Answer: Glial cells called ASTROCYTES help maintain the blood-brain barrier, whereas SCHWANN CELLS create the myelin that envelopes axons
Explanation: Glial cells are specialized cell that are found in both central and peripheral nervous systems, that surrounds the neurones, providing them with support and insulation. There are different types of Glial cells these includes:
- Astrocytes: they maintain the blood brain barrier.
- Schwann cells: create the myelin that envelopes axons of the peripheral nervous system neurones.
- satellite cells: These cells help regulate the external chemical environment of neurones.
- Microglia: they clean up cellular debris through phagocytosis.
- Oligodendrocytes: create the myelin that envelopes axons of the central nervous system
It's very likely that the catcus with short spines will die out faster than the cactus with long spines.
4. When you look up to the sky, it appears as a dark circle with halo light at its edges moving across the face of the sun. As it does, depending on the relative position of the person on earth – that determines where they are on the umbra or penumbra of the eclipse, the place becomes a daytime twilight (umbra) or partial twilight (penumbra).
5. A new moon is formed when the moon is in between the sun and the earth. This is converse to the case of a lunar eclipse where the earth is between the sun and moon. In a new moon, the face of the moon that is faced towards the earth is dark because it is not lit by the sun. It is important to note that a solar eclipse is not formed because the moon’s orbit, around the earth, is tilted at an angle.
