Answer:

A) stratum basale.

Explanation:

The epidermal layer consists of five layers. This is not having any blood vessels and known as avascular. The four-layer starting from stratum basale to stratum corneum is referred to as thin skin. But the skins of foot and palm has another layer called stratum lucidum. This layer forms the five layers of the epidermis.

The stratum basale is the deep layer of the epidermis. Below this layer dermis is present. This layer consists of basal cells which are precursors of keratinocyte cells. The stratum basale is a single layer cell and it undergoes continual mitosis. So that this cell produces new cells and these new cells replace the other older cells above it.  

As the basal cells are precursors of keratinocytes, they produce all keratinocytes of the epidermis.  

Two other types of cells are produced from this layer - Merkel cell, and melanocyte. Merkel cells act as touch receptors and melanocytes produce melanin pigments.

Describe the effects of the various antibiotic drugs you used. Were they all equally effective at controlling bacterial growth?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Basically, most   antibiotic drugs  are not  effective in controlling bacterial growth. The potency of any antibiotic drugs is a measure of the magnitude of  diameter of the  bacterial growth . <u>This is because the diameter   is the measurement of the bacterial growth around the antibiotic drugs used to control it multiplication, and therefore a  measure  of how effective  it  can controls the population</u> Thus a small diameter around the antibiotic agent is a proof that it suppressed the growth effectively and can effectively be used to control  the bacteria, While  a large diameter is an indication of low effectiveness of the drug.

Based on this analogy, penicillin with wide usage for control  of bacteria growth  with  diameter of 3mm, is the most effective antibiotic drugs.However, Erythromycin which is also widely used control growth with diameter of 5mm  or 6mm depending on   type of bacterial.

Therefore, the least 3mm  diameter presented by penicillin is an indication that , antibiotic drugs  are not effective enough, and further research need to be done to control growth of bacteria and therefore its   pathogenic  effects.

List the events of inspiration beginning with stimulation of the phrenic nerves
Andru [333]
The events of inspiration begins with the;
Impulses are conducted on the phrenic nerve to muscle fibers in the diaphragm contracting them.
As the dome shaped diaphragm moves downward the thoracic cavity expands.
At the same time the external intercostal muscles may contract raising the ribs and expanding the thoracic cavity further.
The intra-alveolar pressure decreases 
Atmospheric pressure greater than intra-alveolar pressure forces the air into the respiratory tract through the air passages.
The lungs fill with air.

Stells [14]

Answer:

The common garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis) is found throughout North America. In the South, it is active year round. In the North, it is active during the warmer months but hibernates during the winter. It is commonly found basking on warm rocks during cool mornings. This lifestyle indicates that the snake is probably <u>heterothermic</u>.

Explanation:

Being heterothermic, like all reptiles, garter snakes bask in the sun to regulate their body temperature. During brumation (the reptile equivalent of hibernation), garter snakes typically commonly den together. Sometimes there will be as many as 100 snakes in one cave. A large, communal or group site is called a hibernaculum they occupy is called hibernacula. These snakes will migrate large distances to brumate.

Snakes do not actually hibernate, rather they become less active during cold weather. It is called "brumation."  Brumation is an extreme slowing down of their metabolism. Snakes are awake, but just very lethargic so you don't see them moving around.

During fall, snakes go back to the previous year’s den. When a sudden cold catches them before they get there, they may die if not fortunate enough to  find a suitable secondary den. They usually do not stay long at the den entrance, but hurry in for the long winter sleep.

Cold-blooded animals like snakes, fish, frogs, and turtles need to spend the winter inactive, or dormant,  because they have no way to keep warm. Snakes will crawl into any area free from frost such as caves, hollow logs, holes under trees and stumps, under wood piles, in other animal's burrows, and occasionally in a person's basement.
