Answer:

Innate immunity is a non-specific immune system which provides defence against any pathogenic microorganism in early stages. It includes physical barrier such as skin, chemical barriers such as saliva, tears, et cetera, phagocytic cells such as macrophages, et cetera.

Acquired immune system is the one which develops after exposure to pathogen or antigen. It is highly specific in nature. It includes B-lymphocytes and T-lymphocytes. It includes the production of antibodies.

Vaccines are used to develop acquired immunity in people. The process is termed as vaccination or immunisation. Heat-killed or weakened pathogen or antigen is inserted into a person after which a person develops antibodies and memory cells against that pathogen or disease. So, the immune system acts more vigorously against that pathogen in secondary infection.

Thus, a person becomes immunised.

blagie [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is c. The client is using a Pyramid system.

Explanation:

The pyramidal method owes its name due to its structure: it is based on the gradual increase and decrease of the weight that we must ballast (if we require it in an exercise with ballast) or if we prefer it without additional weight, a gradual increase or decrease of the repetitions . All this increase and decrease in repetitions and / or weight, occurs in a staggered manner between each series for a single exercise, with the aim of being able to recruit a very high number of muscle fibers. It is usually done ascending or descending.

The descending pyramidal method consists of lowering the load, but increasing the repetitions, that is, it begins by applying large loads from the beginning and few repetitions, until ascending in the pyramid and completing the exercise having increased the repetitions and reducing the weight used. With this type, what we achieve is called the strength-resistance of the muscles.

1.Urine culture and sensitive is used to identify the microorganism that is causing the infection, and to identify the antibiotics, sensitive to the microorganism, if the urinary tract is not treated promptly it can lead to recurrent urinary tract infection.

2. First urine sample of the morning is more concentrated form as urine is present in the bladder for almost 8 hours. It contains an increased number of protein or urinary casts. The sample is placed in the refrigerator to get refrigerated as holding it at room temperature and if infected with bacteria present in the urine it uses the glucose and alter the results.

3. diabetic ketoacidosis is one of the many complications if you are having diabetes. Another complication is diabetic nephropathy inorder to check the urine acetone as well as protein in urine we advise for urinalysis each time you visit.
