True or false in multicellular organisms cilia and flagella are the major means of locomotion?
It is true that in multicellular organisms cilia and flagella are the major means of locomotion. Locomotion is one of the characteristics of living organisms.
What is a word for a change in the position or place of something?
locomotion means moving from one place to another
What organ system generates body heat and provides for locomotion of the body as a whole?
the nervous system
What is the function of flagella in a cell?
The word "flagella" is plural so the proper term to use for this question would be "flagellum". A flagellum is an organ of locomotion in single cell organisms. In other words, the flagellum help the organism move around.
Is saltatory conduction faster than conduction on an unmyelinated fiber?
wherever the Schwann cells wrap around the axon, the sodium and potassium ions cannot cross the membrane; the Schwann cells wrap too tightly around the axonal membrane for there to be any extracellular space underneath them. Therefore, the only place that an action potential can occur is at the node of Ranvier-- the space between the Schwann cells. Because of this, the action potential seems to jump from node to node along the axon. "Jumping" is what the word "saltatory" means.
What is the frog movement?
A frog moves by leaping. Movement via leaping is called saltatory locomotion.
What is the movement of frog?
A frog moves by leaping. Movement via leaping is called saltatory locomotion.
What type of nervous system conduction occurs in myelinated axons?
Saltatory Conduction
Conduction along a myelinated axon is called?
It is called saltatory conduction. This describes the "jumping" of an action potential from node to node on a myelinated axon.
Does saltatory conduction occur on unmyelinated axons?
No. I advise you to look up what saltatory conduction is so you will understand why not rather than coming here to get the answers to your homework.
What is rapid conduction from node to node?
saltatory propagation
Saltatory conduction is made possible by?
the myelin sheath
What is the node-to-node jumping regeneration of an action potential along a myelinated axon called?
saltatory conduction Saltatory conduction is derived from the Latin word saltare, which means leaping
What is Saltatory conduction made possible by?
Saltatory conduction is made possible by myelinated nerve fibers. This is the means through which one node of Ranvier will communicate with the next.
What type of axon allows saltatory conduction?
A myelinated axon
What is the figurative language in locomotion?
There are several sentences that the word locomotion can be used in. One sentence is; The steam locomotion was late to the depot.
What is a alligators locomotion?
Chinese alligator locomotion
