<span><span>"Simple squamous epithelium allows for rapid diffusion" 
</span>
This statement is true as the substance for diffusion will not have to pass many layers of cells and membranes. 

</span><span> "The keratin present on simple cuboidal epithelium protects from water loss"

This is false as keratin is usually present on stratified squamous epithelium and usually found on skin.

</span><span>"The microvilli on simple columnar epithelium helps to maximize absorption"

This is true as microvilli will increase the cell's surface area and having an increased surface area will also increase the absorption.

</span><span>"The keratin on the esophageal stratified squamous epithelium helps to moisten the luminal surface for swallowing"

This is false as there is no keratin in esophageal stratified squamous epithelium. 

</span><span>"Transitional epithelium of the urinary bladder can change shape to accommodate bladder wall stretching"
</span><span>
This is true as the word itself mean, transitional epithelium transitions from stratified cuboidal epithelium to simple cuboidal epithelium in response to bladder filling.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

e.)  If exposure to cowpox gives immunity to smallpox in milkmaids, then milkmaids have a natural immunity and their blood should be used to develop a smallpox vaccine.

Explanation:

  • Milkmaids who suffered from cowpox did not suffer from smallpox i.e. they were immune to the disease.
  • If milkmaids did not suffer from smallpox then there must be some element of immunity that they received once they had recovered from cowpox, this would likely be found in their blood as antibodies.

Which of the following would be the LEAST likely to be associated with the development of motion sickness? driving rapidly over
Setler79 [48]

Answer: Having a non-functional vestibular apparatus.

Explanation:

Motion sickness is a feeling of sickness that is caused by the movement. It occurs in a vehicle like boat, car, train or bus. It can also occur in the amusement rides. This is not life-threatening. It can make the ride or traveling unpleasant. Motion sickness happens when the brain receives the disturbing message related to the motion and the body's position. These messages are delivered from the ear, eyes, skin receptor, muscles and the joints sensors.

Among the options given, Having a non-functional vestibular apparatus. is not the associated with the development of motion sickness. The vestibular apparatus is associated with ear if the ear sensory system becomes non-functional then it will reduce the sensing of motion sickness.

The body felt cool to the touch. The thermometer gave a reading of 70˚F. No rigor mortis was evident, but permanent livor mortis
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Basically enzyme activities are affected by drop in temperature. in additions the corpse was cool to touch.Therefore this  explains while there was no bloating or bacteria activity since the decomposing  bacteria  enzymes  were inactive because of the cold temperature.

Consequently, if the Livor mortis (lividity) is +8hrs 0-4days, evidently  the corpse must have been refrigerated after livor mortis sets in, with the decomposition slowed down by the cold environment.

Notes: Algor mortis is 26.8hrs, and there was no algor mortis.
