What is myelin a kind of?
It is a fatty tissue that acts as an insulator around some nerve fibers.
Which layer of the skin protects the deeper tissues of the body and acts as a heat insulator?
Fat. also known as adipose tissue, is the connective tissue found in the subcutaneous layer that provides insulation.
Is cotton a better insulator than aluminium foil and tissue paper?
No, cotton is not a better insulator than aluminum foil and tissue paper. Aluminum foil is a good insulator as it reflects heat, while tissue paper acts as a thermal barrier. Cotton, on the other hand, is not as effective of an insulator because it does not have the same reflective or thermal barrier properties.
Which connective tissue insulates against heat loss?
The Adipose Connective Tissue insulates against heat loss and provides reserve fuel.
Koalas fur acts like what?
The koala's fur acts like an insulator and a raincoat, keeping them warm in winter, cooler in summer and stopping the rain from saturating the animal.
What type of connective tissue insulates against heat loss?
Adipose tissue, commonly known as fat tissue, acts as an insulating layer against heat loss by providing a barrier that reduces heat conduction from the body. Its high lipid content helps to maintain body temperature by minimizing heat loss.
Is elictrical tape an insulator?
yes, the tape acts as an electrical insulator
Why does alcohol act as an insulator?
Alcohol acts as an insulator because it can't freeze and its ability to absorb energy.
Is clay a conductor?
No it does not conduct electricity, and when hard it acts as an insulator..
What tissue acts as a storage for fat?
Adipose tissue
How does fat under our skin keep us warm?
It acts as an insulator.
List three functions of fatty tissue?
Energy storage: Fatty tissue stores excess calories in the form of triglycerides, which can be used for energy when needed. Insulation: Fatty tissue acts as a thermal insulator to help regulate body temperature. Protection: Fatty tissue provides cushioning and protection for organs and tissues within the body.
