If a patient cannot shrug the shoulders against resistance, which cranial nerve (cn) requires further evaluation?

Based on the question, the cranial nerve that required further evaluation is the CN XI, spinal accessory

The spinal accessory nerve refers to the eleventh paired cranial nerve. It contains a purely somatic motor function.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

The spinal accessory nerve has two roots:  

  • Spinal part
  • Cranial part  

The spinal part arises from the end of the nucleus ambiguous. It also possibly arises from the dorsal nucleus within the vagus nerve. The fibers present in the nucleus are linked bilaterally with corticobulbar tract.

The corticobulbar tract is the motor neuron of the cranial nerves that connect the cerebral cortex with the brainstem.  

The cranial portion of the spinal accessory nerves is very smaller and arises from the lateral part of the medullar oblongata. It leaves the medullar oblongata as five rootlets that unite together and also join the spinal part of the accessory nerves, like it enters the jugural foramen; it can transmit fibers to the spinal part at this point.

It can only unite with the spinal portion of the accessory nerves for a short period of time before it unites with the inferior ganglion within the vague nerve.  At this point, the cranial fibers will now pass to the recurrent laryngeal and pharyngeal branches of the vagus nerve.

Describe the action mechanism of labile toxin by placing the steps in the correct order.
vaieri [72.5K]
I cannot found the exercise anywhere, so I will just explain how the toxin works.

A toxin is a toxic substance made by a living organism such as a bacterium, a fungus, a plant or an animal.

Labil toxins are toxins which are by easily degraded. among these toxins, there is the toxin of Escherichia coli and the cholera toxin of <span>Vibrio cholerea.
</span>
The intracellular target of cholera toxin is adenylate cyclase, one of the most important eukaryotic cell regulatory systems. This enzyme is involved in the conversion of ATP into a cyclic AMP (cAMP), a crucial intracellular messenger in a wide variety of cellular processes.
Cholera toxin catalyzes the transfer of ADP-ribose from NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) to a specific arginine residue of the Gsa protein, resulting in the activation of adenylate cyclase and consequently the increase of the intracellular level cAMP. AMPc activates a cAMP-dependent protein kinase, which leads to phosphorylation of the protein, modification of ion transport and finally diarrhea.

What is prokaryote and eukaryote? give there characteristic .
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer & Explanation:

<u><em>Prokaryote</em></u>: a microscopic single-celled organism that has neither a distinct nucleus with a membrane nor other specialized organelles. Prokaryotes include the bacteria and cyanobacteria.

<u><em>Characteristic of prokaryote</em></u>: lack an organized nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotic DNA is found in a central part of the cell called the nucleoid. The cell wall of a prokaryote acts as an extra layer of protection, helps maintain cell shape, and prevents dehydration.

<em><u>Eukaryote</u></em>: an organism consisting of a cell or cells in which the genetic material is DNA in the form of chromosomes contained within a distinct nucleus. Eukaryotes include all living organisms other than the eubacteria and archaebacteria.

<u><em>Characteristic of eukaryote</em></u>: larger than prokaryotic cells and have a “true” nucleus, membrane-bound organelles, and rod-shaped chromosomes. The nucleus houses the cell's DNA and directs the synthesis of proteins and ribosomes

What gives sperms motility​
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

The tail of the sperm, the flagellum

Explanation:

We find cilia in the human body. They coat the epithelial cells of the upper respiratory tract and play a role in keeping dust particles, smog, and potentially harmful microorganisms from entering the lungs.

Their movements enable the movement of mucus or other substances across the surface of various epithelial cells. The cilia also cover parts of the male and female reproductive tract.  

Flagella are found in sperm, whose tail represents the flagellum in its structure. The body wall of the sponge, among others, contains cells with whips that create and maintain the flow of water through the body.
