Answer;

-Sensory, motor, and interneurons

Explanation;

-Sensory neurons or afferent neurons carry signals from the outer parts of your body (periphery) into the central nervous system. They receive information from both external (through the senses) and internal (from muscles, organs and glands) environment.

-Interneurons are only located in CNS & connect between motor and sensory neurons.  They exist only in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). They relay messages from sensory neurons to motor neurons and also bring message from various sources, organizing and integrating information.

-Motor neurons (efferent neurons) transmit neural messages from the brain to various areas of the body including muscles, internal organs and glands. They enable bodily movements, internal organs to be activated and glandular secretions to occur. They also Receive and act on messages received from interneurons.

Explain the life cycle of a Diploid cell,<br> ASAP
Leya [2.2K]
Hi, I hope this helps you!


All diploid adults inherit half of their DNA from each parent. When they are ready to reproduce, diploid reproductive cells undergo meiosis and produce haploid gametes. These gametes then fuse through fertilization and produce a diploid zygote, which immediately enters G1 of the cell cycle.

Also, Organisms with a diploid life cycle spend the majority of their lives as diploid adults. When they are ready to reproduce, they undergo meiosis and produce haploid gametes. Gametes then unite in fertilization and form a diploid zygote, which immediately enters G1 of the cell cycle. Next, the zygote's DNA is replicated.

vovangra [49]

Answer:

If you tap your knee, the signal to act is carried via your somatic nervous system to the muscles in your knee. In contrast, the signals that pass via the autonomic nervous system are involuntary and act primarily to regulate your body's internal environment. This involuntary nerve system is further organized into three divisions. If you need a sudden burst of energy, your sympathetic nervous system is activated to help you act quickly. In contrast, if you are relaxing and conserving energy, then it is your parasympathetic nervous system that is primarily in action. The third division is your enteric nervous system which helps control the components of the digestive system.

Explanation:

Peripheral nervous system (PNS) is the nervous system that contains nerves and ganglia outside the central nervous system (CNS). PNS is divided into:

  • somatic (voluntary) nervous system-controls the movements of the skeletal muscles
  • autonomic (involuntary) nervous system-controls the smooth muscles and glands and thus it is the regulator of the major body functions. It is subdivided into tree groups:
  1. sympathetic ("fight and flight") system-responsible for stressful and active situations (but also in normal conditions)
  2. parasympathetic ("rest and digest") system-opposite to sympathetic, responsible for the maintenance of body's activities at rest.
  3. enteric nervous system-controls the function of the gastrointestinal tract.

How does the composition of a typical lava dome differ from that of a typical fissure eruption?
Karolina [17]
A lava dome would most likely be composed of a very viscous lava rich in silica like a rhyolite which would cause it to dome upwards and solidify quickly rather than spread out over the surface of the earth like a fissure eruption which more likely would be like a basalt much less viscous and flowing more freely.
