Question

Write the function of each one of the following.
(a) (Oviducal) Fimbriae
(b) Coleoptile
(c) Oxytocin.

Answer 1

Hint: Fimbriae are the finger-like structures; Coleoptile is the pointed defensive layer covering the emergent monocotyledonous shooting in grasses, and Oxytocin is a neuropeptide and peptide hormone.

Complete Answer:
- An organism's reproductive system also called a genital system is the biological system consisting of all of the sexual reproductive anatomical organs. Often essential accessories of the reproductive system are certain non living substances, including fluids, hormones, and pheromones. The sexes of distinct species also vary greatly from other organ systems. These variations permit a mixture of genetic material between two persons, which makes a higher genetic condition of the offspring.

- Fimbriae are the finger-like structures at the end of the fallopian tubes, nearest to the ovaries. Many fimbriae do not contact the ovary but float close by, triggered by hormones to absorb a released egg and transfer it into the fallopian tube.

- Coleoptile is the pointed defensive layer covering the emergent monocotyledonous shooting in grasses, where few leaf primordia are left with monocotyledonous embryo shooting apex. Coleoptiles consist of very similar cells, all of which are specialized in rapid growth. They do not break, but expand as more water accumulates. Coleoptiles often provide a water storage vessel along the axis. When a coleoptile reaches on the surface, it stops to grow, and the leaves of the flag penetrate the top and grow.

- Oxytocin is a neuropeptide and peptide hormone. It is typically developed in the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary. It plays an important role in social bonding, sexual reproduction, childbirth and post childbirth. Oxytocin is secreted into the blood to stretch the uterus and cervix during labor and stimulates the nipples from breastfeeding. This helps with birth, milk production and bonding with the baby.

Note: Fimbriae transfers ovum into the fallopian tube. Coleoptiles often provide a water storage vessel along the axis. Oxytocin plays an important role in sexual reproduction, social bonding, childbirth and post childbirth.
