Positive selection tests to see if the TCR of a T-lymphocyte can recognize and bind to an MHC molecule.

<h3>What is a T-lymphocyte?</h3>

A T-lymphocyte is a special type of immune cell that is generated inside the bone marrow.

The T-cell receptor (abbreviated as TCR) is a protein located on these immune T lymphocytes.

In conclusion, Positive selection identifies if the TCR of a T-lymphocyte can recognize and bind to an MHC molecule.

Some homeostatic imbalances cause a variable that is normally controlled by negative feedback to be abnormally controlled by pos
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Some deviations from normal homeostasis activate the positive feedback loops to control the conditions which are otherwise regulated by negative feedback mechanisms.

For example, the blood levels of respiratory gases and H+ ions are regulated by a negative feedback system via chemoreceptors. The increased partial pressure of carbon dioxide gas and lowered pH or lowered partial pressure of oxygen in the blood are sense by central and peripheral chemoreceptors which in turn activate the neurons of the dorsal respiratory group (DRG).

The activated DRG triggers an increased in the rate and depth of the breathing to facilitate the inhalation of more oxygen and exhalation of CO2 to restore the normal levels.  

However, hypocapnia inactivates the chemoreceptors and does not allow negative feedback to restore the normal CO2 levels in the blood.  

Under such conditions, the positive feedback loop stimulates the DRG neurons more strongly in response to the increased partial pressure of CO2 above the normal levels than when the partial pressure of oxygen falls below the normal level. These dangerously lowered oxygen levels may also cause fainting.

Research the importance of chemotherapy. Write a 200 word report on the uses of chemotherapy.
ziro4ka [17]

Chemotherapy is a term which we usually related to the treatment of cancer. In cancer the malignant cell keeps on dividing themselves and   also infect the near by cell to enter into a phase of no restrictive division. In chemotherapy, a drug or medicine either individually or in combination with other medicines is either directly introduced in the blood or is injected only on the targeted cell. The chemotherapy interacts with the cell division process of the cell directly or indirectly. In the direct process the cell division process either mitosis or meiosis is impaired or the essential hormones or enzymes required for cell divisions are attacked through cytotoxic drug. It also inhibits cell division through apoptosis strategy where the cancerous cell starts dividing themselves. The chemotherapy process is to be done regularly over a certain period of time. Usually the treatment course occurs from a day to few weeks’ time. The dosage of chemical is given either orally or injected into the body fluid or either through intravenously.

Apart from benefits there can be several side effects of chemotherapy:

a) A patient may get pucky feelings and in some cases may have nausea or vomiting

b) There are also chances of hair loss.

c) It can also adversely affect the skin, as it may get dry or oversensitive.  

d) The blood platelet count may decrease

e) There can be chances of  hearing and vision impairment.
