The answer is IgA. The immunoglobulin can occur as a monomer or dimer. The dimeric form is called secretory-IgA because it is also secreted by glands that produce saliva, tears, sweat, and in the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract. It is the most secreted Immunoglobulin.

The answer is immunoglobulin A (IgA).
Immunoglobulin A is an antibody that plays a crucial role in the immune function of mucous membranes. It has two sub classes that is the IgA1 and IgA2 and can be produced as a monomeric as well as a dimeric form. The dimeric form is the most prevalent and is also called secretory IgA. Secretory component is a proteolytic cleavage product of the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor which remains associated with the dimeric IgA in sero-mucus secretions. The secretory component protects IgA antibodies from degradation by the gastric acids and enzymes of the digestive system.

Describe what messages are sent by the nervous system when you go outside wearing a sweater on a very hot day.

mr_godi [17]

Answer and Explanation:

In homeostatic control processes any deviation from the norm sets into motion the appropriate corrective mechanisms which restore the norm. This rectification occurs through negative feedback. When you go outside wearing a sweater on a hot day, the body sends messages to the CNS and the following occurs:

The superficial blood vessels vasodilate so that more blood flows near the surface. This encourages heat loss.
Sweating and panting. Sweat secreted by the sweat glands evaporate from the surface of the body as it absorbs latent heat.
The metabolic rate falls so that the body generates less heat. You also become less active
Behavioural response by seeking cooler areas, cold drinks or removal of the sweater.

The blood is circulated using a external filter, that is called as dialyzer. The blood get cleansed and impurities are removed and purified blood returned via circuit back to the body. This technique is used to control the blood pressure and balance of important minerals in the body that involves the potassium, sodium and calcium in the blood.

Based on the above information, option. B is the correct option.

Describe the relationship between mutations, alleles, variation, natural selection, and chance.

Alona [7]

Natural selection is where positive traits survive more, allowing those to become more common. Mutation is where radioactivity changes genes in a random way. Natural selection allows positive mutation to become more common. Adaptation is where natural selection works for a species specifically more a new habitat.
