What does elongated T2 mean?

An elongated T2 signal on an MRI scan typically indicates an abnormality in the tissue being examined. This could be due to specific pathologies like edema, inflammation, or demyelination. Further investigation would be needed to determine the underlying cause.


Which tissue does the brain send information to in order to cause movement?

The brain sends information to the muscles in order to cause movement. Signals are transmitted from the brain through the spinal cord and nerves, ultimately reaching the muscles and triggering the desired movement.


Why must connective tissue not be too hard?

Connective tissue needs to have some degree of flexibility and elasticity to allow for movement and support in the body. If connective tissue becomes too hard, it may impede movement, cause discomfort, or even lead to issues like restricted blood flow. Maintaining an appropriate balance of firmness and pliability is important for optimal tissue function.


What kind of tissue do the bacteria that cause tubercluosis break down?

The bacteria that cause tuberculosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, primarily break down lung tissue. They do this by producing enzymes that degrade the proteins and lipids in the lung tissue, leading to tissue damage and inflammation.


What are ligments?

Ligaments are tough, fibrous bands of tissue that connect bones to other bones in the body. They help to stabilize and support joints by limiting excessive movement. Injuries to ligaments, such as sprains, can cause pain and instability in the affected joint.

What cause root nodules in legume plants?

This is the rounded or elongated growth of plant tissue which grows generally on the root hairs of the leguminous plant. Rizophores is an example of this type of growth. Thy generally help in Fixation of nitrogen to the surrounding soils where they grow.


Possible causes for a hard elongated lump on the lower back rib cage?

The possible cause for a hard elongated lump on the lower back rib cage is infection. It can also be caused by shingles.


What movement does mantle convection currents cause?

They cause plate movement. The plate movement then causes an earthquake.


What is the function of muscle tissue?

Muscle tissue is composed of cells that react to a stimulus by becoming shorter, so they are able to perform work. There are three different kinds of muscle tissue. One kind is attached to bones, and when these muscles shorten, they pull to make the body move in various ways.There are three types of muscle tissues: smooth, skeletal and cardiac.Smooth tissues regulate the blood pressure and flow of blood in arteries. Also found in the digestive system in the stomach and intestines to cause the peristalsic movement.keletal muscles bring about movement of bones and are involved in the breathing process.Cardiac muscles are found in the heart and cause the rhythmical beating of the heart, enabling the blood vessels to carry food and oxygen to the cells of the body.


What could cause a fatty tissue?

Excess fat accumulation in Adipost tissue.


How does the muscular system work to control the movement of muscles in the body?

The muscular system controls muscle movement in the body through a process called muscle contraction. When the brain sends signals to the muscles, it triggers the release of chemicals that cause the muscle fibers to shorten and generate force, resulting in movement. This coordinated effort allows for precise control and coordination of movements throughout the body.
