How does skeletal system and digestive system?
cheater!lol The bones provide support, they work with the muscle to allow movement, they protet organs, store minerals, and produce blood cells.
What does muscle tissue allow us to do?
Muscle tissues allow the human body to move its limbs and to move parts of the organs. Muscle tissues contract or expand in order to provide the required motion.
Can you play after lunch?
Firstly, aggressive exercise after meal is strictly not recommended. This is because after meal body take time to digest food. The body system will focus work on the digestive system of the body. The blood capillaries at the digestive system will be expand to allow more blood can flow through and help to transport the nutrient from the digestive system to the entire body. If now you are exercising, the body have to work on the muscle as well. So, the blood which suppose go to the digestive system to transport nutrient are now go to your muscle to transport oxygen to it and carry away lactic acid in the muscle. Therefore, exercise right after meal will affect the absorption on nutrient means that affect the digestive process. On the other hand, there is cases that the food in the small intestine go into the appendix and it never come out again. The food is decompose by bacteria at the appendix and make your appendix infection and swollen. This condition need to operate to remove your appendix. Are you willing to scarified your appendix? Is your basketball important than your health? Kindly suggest that rest at least half an hour right after meal before your exercise activities. :D
The main organs of the muscular system?
The major organs of the Muscular System are the muscles. The 3 types of muscles are the smooth, cardiac, and skeletal muscles.
What does the skeletal muscle allow you to do?
Muscles allow the skeleton to move.
What organs allow the digestive system to function?
haha i dont know
What system works with bones to allow it to move?
muscle
What is the function of a flexor muscle in a crayfish?
To allow it to move.
What nutrient should be present in higher amounts in the diet of a child under 6 months of age than in a diet of an older child or an adult?
Fat. Infants need fat to provide energy and to allow their rapid growth and brain development.
What elements make a compound to allow doctors to see digestive tracts?
the answer is unknown
What is the reason single unit smooth muscle for digestive system and multi-unit smooth muscle for eye?
Firstly you have to understand how smooth muscle works. Smooth muscle works differently from that of striated muscle (cardiac and skeletal muscle) in the sense that its arrangement of the individual fibres is different - smooth muscle does not have sarcomeres unlike striated muscle (hence the striations). Furthermore, it has different kind of microfilaments (no troponin or myofibrils - troponin is the regulatory component in skeletal muscle, myofibrils are the light and dark bands in striated muscle), allowing for a different type of contraction.Smooth muscle also maintains a certain tone, which is important in the control of smooth muscle - rarely is it ever completely contracted or relaxed. There are two types of smooth muscle, single unit fibres, in which each smooth muscle cell has gap junctions (ion channels in between the cell that allow for the voltage, and hence, contraction to pass through), and multi-unit fibres, in which several smooth muscle cells are innervated by a single nerve.Now to your question - having understood the way in which smooth muscle works, we can consider which type of smooth muscle is present in each area. In the digestive system, there are primarily single unit fibres in the wall of the digestive tract. The reason for this is the need for peristalsis, the wave of movement which allows food to be moved down the gastrointestinal tract and through your body. Single Unit smooth muscle therefore allows for the stimulus to signal one smooth muscle cell, but allow for all the other cells in the circumference of the GIT to contract, allowing for the wave of peristalsis to move through. Sigle unit fibres are also seen in the uterus and blood vessels.However, in the eye it is a totally different matter. There are multi-unit fibres present in the eye, as there is need for very fine control over the movement of our eye (usually in the ciliary muscles, which allow for focusing - you can imagine how much control will be required for long/short distance focusing!), hence we have multi-unit fibres which are individually innervated, and allow for individual smooth muscle cells to contract, providing greater control.
Why is diffusion and osmosis important to the cell?
to allow nutrient to enter for sustaining the cell; or to prevent bugs to enter
