Why are skeletal muscles also called voluntary muscles? What actions depend on the transmission of nerve impulses? What are the functional units of the kidney? Which of the following are functions of the skeletal system? What are the two functions of the male and female sex organs?
Understand the Problem
The question is listing multiple choice queries from a HESI A2 exam related to anatomy and physiology, specifically about muscle types, nervous system functions, kidney functions, skeletal system functions, and reproductive functions.
Answer
1. Under conscious control. 2. Neurons. 3. Nephrons. 4. Conduct impulses. 5. Production of gametes and hormones.
The final answer is:
- Skeletal muscles are called voluntary because they are under conscious control.
- All actions of the nervous system depend on neurons for transmission of nerve impulses.
- Nephrons are the functional units of the kidney.
- The function of the skeletal system that does not apply is the conduction of impulses.
- The functions of male and female sex organs include the production of gametes and hormones.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is:
- Skeletal muscles are called voluntary because they are under conscious control.
- All actions of the nervous system depend on neurons for transmission of nerve impulses.
- Nephrons are the functional units of the kidney.
- The function of the skeletal system that does not apply is the conduction of impulses.
- The functions of male and female sex organs include the production of gametes and hormones.
More Information
Skeletal muscles are uniquely designed to be under voluntary control, allowing precise and conscious movement. Neurons play a critical role in nerve impulse transmission necessary for communication within the nervous system. Nephrons specifically filter blood in the kidneys.
Tips
Confusion may arise between the different muscle types and their control mechanisms. Remember that skeletal muscles are the only ones under conscious control.
