HIV is a retrovirus that destroys CD4 cells and therefore their counting indicates the progression of AIDS disease.

<h3>What are CD4 cells?</h3>

CD4 cells are T helper cells of the immune system that contain specific receptors on the cell surface.

The T helper cells are CD4 positive because these immune cells have CD4 glycoprotein receptors on their cell membranes.

These cells are destroyed by the HIV retrovirus during the lytic cycle of this virus and therefore it affects our immune system.

In conclusion, HIV destroys CD4 cells and indicates progression of AIDS disease.

The nervous system avoids muscle fatigue during submaximal contraction by
irina [24]

Answer:

B. Ashchronous recruitment

Explanation:

Asynchronous muscles are muscles that Don't have one-to-one relationship between electrical stimulation and mechanical contraction. Such muscles can be found in About 75% of flying insects and they have convergently evolved 7-10 times.

The synchronous muscles which is their counterparts contracts once per neural signal, but mechanical oscillations trigger force production in asynchronous muscles.

Hence the rate of mechanical contraction is an order of magnitude greater than electrical signals.

Although they achieve greater force output and higher efficiency at high frequencies, they have limited applications because of their dependence on mechanical strength.

The nervous system recruits the Ashchronous muscle to avoid muscle fatigue during submaximal contraction.
