Answer:
Diffusion occurs when particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. The factors affecting rate of diffusion are: concentration, temperature, mass of the particle and properties of the solvent in which diffusion occurs. Faster movement equals faster diffusion.
Explanation:
The nervous and the endocrine system are tightly linked together.
The main reason for this linkage is due to the connection of the hypothalamus (nervous system) and the hypophysis (a gland in the endocrine system)
The hypophysis is the ''controller'' of all of the other endocrine glands.
The connection between the hypothalamus and the hypophysis enables the nervous system to control the hormone levels of all of the major endocrine glands in the body.
The hypothalamus releases hormones into the bloodstream that leads to the hypophysis. These hormones induce a release of hypophysis hormones that enter the bloodstream and when they reach the target gland (for example pancreas) these hormones induce the release of the hormones of that gland (in the case of the pancreas, insulin).
The hypothalamus monitors the concentration of hormones in the blood, and a high level of a certain hormone blocks the release of the hypothalamus' hormones. Therefore, a high level of insulin blocks a cascade of hormone release that starts in the hypothalamus that leads to its release in the pancreas.
Answer:
oligodendrocytes
Explanation:
Glial cells are part of the nervous system. These are helper cells that support the function of the central nervous system (CNS) and can be called oligodendrocytes when they supply myelin to neurons. These cells are responsible for producing the myelin sheath have the function of electrical insulator for CNS neurons. They have extensions that wrap around the axons, producing the myelin sheath.
It is estimated that there are 10 glia cells in the CNS for each neuron, but because of their small size, they occupy half the volume of nervous tissue. They differ in form and function and they are: oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, Schwann cells, ependymal cells, and microglia.
