Answer:

Each villus, in turn, has thousands of even smaller projections called microvilli (singular: microvillus).

Explanation:

The villi contain capillaries, which are tiny blood vessels. Nutrients are absorbed into these capillaries across the surfaces of the villi and microvilli. Because there are millions of these tiny projections, they greatly increase the surface area for absorption.

Which species will most likely survive if earth temperature increase?

joja [24]

It's for sure not A because having thick fur will only make you hotter, and thus you will suffer a heat stroke. It's not C because small ears would not be long enough to provide you with cooling. That one does not make sense. It could be D, but the species would need to have alot of muscles in order to be consistently flapping there ears for the constant hear. Answer is B because it is the most logic, and the fewer amount of fur, the less hotter you will be, especially if your fur provides insulation.

Answer is B. Species B because fur would provide insulation.

Pain signals often have two components: an acute sensation of "first pain" which is felt almost immediately after an injury, and

o-na [289]

Answer:

This suggests that neurons that send the signals that we perceive as first pain Myelinated Tpye A-delta___, and neurons that send the signals that we perceive as second pain Unmyelinated-Type C.___.

Explanation:

Physiologically, primary afferent neurons that innervated the the touch, pain, temperature,and pressure receptors in the effectors to input sensory signals to the spinal cord and the brain are categorized based on their diameter, sizes, and nature of myelination. Based on this;

A-alpha has the largest diameter, myelinated, and sensitive to sensation from the muscle cells

A-beta are next in diameter, myelinated and sensitive to sensation of touch.

A-delta followed in diameter, and size. They are mylinated, and sensitive to pain and temperature.

C-fibres are least in diameter, they are unmyelinated, but sensitive to pain, touch and temperature.

Therefore, if the speed of conduction,of action potential in a neuron depends on the diameter(thickness) and myelination of the axon(saltatory conduction) :

''then, acute sensation/ first pain should be transmitted by the A-delta fibre. While the the slower/second pain should be transmitted by the slower unmyelinated - C-fibres''.
