What role does myelin play in the body?
It acts like an electrical insulator.
Does inside human body considered an electrical conductor?
The inside of our body is a conductor.
What are electrical junctions in the human body?
Electrical junctions in the human body are where the axons of nerves (singly called neurons) send a chemical to the dendrite(s) of nearby neuron(s), said chemical creating a weak electrical current in the next neuron. These neuron to neuron junctions are called, "Synapses".
What are the three uses for lipids?
Major Roles of Biological Lipids Biological molecules that are insoluble in aqueous solutions and soluble in organic solvents are classified as lipids. The lipids of physiological importance for humans have four major functions:1. They serve as structural components of biological membranes.2. They provide energy reserves, predominantly in the form of triacylglycerols.3. Both lipids and lipid derivatives serve as vitamins and hormones.4. Lipophilic bile acids aid in lipid solubilization.
What can a lipid be used for outside the body?
lubricantfueletc.
Is the human body a conductor?
Yes, because if it was an insulator.. then we wouldn't be able to be electrocuted.. why the human body is an insulator is because the human body contains a lot of water
What role does myelin play in the body?
It acts like an electrical insulator.
Is a human body a conductor or a insulator?
Conductor. Our body is full of electricity, that is why you feel a shock when electricity is conducted from our body to another body.
Does the lipid portion of a plasma membrane act like a liquid at the temperature of the human body?
yes, it is fluid
Is Golgi body lipid-soluble?
are compounds being packaged lipid-soluble or lipid-insoluble in the golgi body
7 Give examples of a conductor and an insulator?
If we speak in terms of electrical conductivity, some good insulators are ceramics, plastics, rubber and glass. Conductors are, on the other hand, metals in general: copper, silver, gold, but there are some good conductors that are not metals, like graphite and some salt solutions.
Does inside human body considered an electrical conductor?
The inside of our body is a conductor.
What form of energy does food provide the human body?
electrical
The multi-layered covering composed of lipid and protein that surrounds most of the axons of the human body?
myelin sheath
Why body is good conductor?
The human body is 61.8% water. Water conducts electrical conductor as a result. Mind you, the human body is capable of generating 11,000 watt hours of electrical energy in a typical lifetime. Not to mention that your eitire body runs on electrical signals to and from your brain. Gotta move that kidney data somehow.
What type of lipid is used by the body for insulation.?
what is the type of lipid is used by the body for insulation
Does the amount of electrolytes in your body increase or decrease the electrical current your body generates?
electrolytesn and human bady
