Meninges refers to the three layes of membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord of the mammals. The inflammation of these protective membranes of the brain and the spinal cord caused by the infection of bacteria, virus or other microorganisms is called the meningitis.
A laboratory test to identify or rule out meningitis is the analysis if the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by lumbar puncture. CSF is a colorless fluid filling the ventricles of the brain and the central canal of the spinal cord. Lumbar puncture is a techinque of isolating the CSF from the sac sround the spinal cord using a needle under a local anesthetic. The sample is then analysed for the opening pressure which is normally between 6 and 18 cm of water in a patient who is not infected with meningitis. Also, the levels of glucose in CSF is above 40% of that in blood in non-infected persons. If lactate levels are less than 35mg/dl, this will also rule out meningitis.
<span>Diffusion. Diffusion is when particles in a highly concentrated area spread out to an area of lower concentration. The membranes of cells are very thin, which allows diffusion of different materials to happen easily.
During respiration, oxygen and glucose concentration in the cell is lower than in the surrounding blood. This causes oxygen and glucose to move into the cell via diffusion. Carbon dioxide is produced inside the cell and this makes the concentration of CO2 higher in the cell than in the blood, so the excess diffuses out of the cell.</span>
Answer:
The location in which it stores its genetic material.
Explanation:
Answer:
A) Food enters the mouth
B) Esophagus
C) Stomach
D)Cecum
E) Feces is expelled
Explanation:
The food is ingested through the mouth and and then it is transported through the esophagus to the stomach from where it reaches the small and large intestine and then it is finally expelled as undigested or waste foo product.
Based on the above brief explanation, the flow chart depicting food movement are as follows -
a) Food enters the mouth
b) Esophagus - known as the food pipe
c) Stomach
d)Cecum - it is a small pouch connected to small and large intestine.
e) Feces is expelled through rectum
Answer:
Explanation:
DNA are molecules that store genetic information in all organisms.
RNA are molecules that will form proteins based on the instructions coming from DNA.
