Explanation:
In biology, homeostasis is the state of steady internal, physical, and chemical conditions maintained by living systems.This is the condition of optimal functioning for the organism and includes many variables, such as body temperature and fluid balance, being kept within certain pre-set limits (homeostatic range). Other variables include the pH of extracellular fluid, the concentrations of sodium, potassium and calcium ions, as well as that of the blood sugar level, and these need to be regulated despite changes in the environment, diet, or level of activity. Each of these variables is controlled by one or more regulators or homeostatic mechanisms, which together maintain life.
The correct answer is: E) provide the defense for the CNS
Astrocytes are star-shaped cells found in central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) .Some of their functions include:
• Support of neurons by supporting endothelilal cell of blood–brain barrier,
• Provide nutrients to neurons
• Maintain ion balance and thus controlchemical environment around neurons
• Repair of injuries in the brain
• the secretion or absorption of neural transmitters…
The cells that provide the defense for the CNS are called microglia. Those cells are also glial cells, derived from macrophages and thus, part of active immune defense.
Answer:
For a contraction to occur there must first be a stimulation of the muscle in the form of an impulse (action potential) from a motor neuron (nerve that connects to muscle). Note that one motor neuron does not stimulate the entire muscle but only a number of muscle fibres within a muscle.
