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.

Estrogens from the vesicular follicle trigger an LH surge from the anterior pituitary. This is an example of: Estrogens from the
brilliants [131]

Answer:

The correct answer is: positive feedback.

Explanation:

Positive and negative feedback are terms that are used to define the way a system is regulated by its products. For example, when the production of a certain substance <u>inhibits</u> its producer that is called <u>negative feedback</u>. On the other hand, when a substance <u>stimulates</u> its producer to keep secreting said substance, this is called <u>positive feedback</u>.

Estrogen is a hormone of great importance in the female reproductive cycle and is secreted by the follicle cells in response to the presence of FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone), released by the anterior pituitary when stimulated by the GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone).

Estrogen appears at the beginning of the cycle to stimulate the development of the ovarian follicles, and the hormone levels continue to rise as the cycle advances. Up until the 14th day of the cycle, estrogen has a negative feedback on GnRH and FSH, but then it makes an abrupt change to now exert positive feedback on GnRH to stimulate the release of LH (luteinizing hormone), which will be responsible for ovulation.

What happens if a person goes into a black hole?
Alona [7]

Explanation:

we all find ourselves confronted with the age-old question:

what happens when you fall into a black hole?

You might expect to get crushed, or maybe torn to pieces. But the reality is stranger than that.

The instant you entered the black hole, reality would split in two. In one, you would be instantly incinerated, and in the other you would plunge on into the black hole utterly unharmed.

Hope this helps you.. Good Luck
