Parathyroid glands are the endocrine glands and are four in number. One superior and one inferior parathyroid glands are attached to each lateral lobe of the thyroid gland.

Troyanec [42]

The homeostasis of the human body works like a machine set at a particular standard. If the factors deviate from the standard values, the homeostatic mechanism come into action.

For example, if a cell requires certain protein, the respective genes get a signal and get activated. The cell start synthesizing the protein and when sufficient amount is made, there is a feedback loop, which allows the same protein to stop the synthesis as well. A lot of organs and cellular systems are involved in regulating the synthesis of this protein.

This is similar to the cooling system. If we set the temperature of the cooling system to certain degree, it will start cooling the room till the required temperature is reached. As soon as the temperature is acquired, the system cut-off automatically and the required temperature is maintained.

You observe a high proportion of malarial infections in a small village located in Angola. Malaria is caused by the protozoan Pl
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

<em>B and C.</em>

Explanation:

The epidemiological triangle is an illustration of interaction among suitable hosts, disease agents, and the environment that drives successful outbreak of diseases.

In order to successfully tackle or reduce the incidence of a disease, the triangle has to be broken.

<em>In the case of malaria which is caused by plasmodium but spread through the female anopheles mosquito, one way of breaking the epidemiological triangle is to eliminate female anopheles mosquito in the environment using any possible means. This will stop the spread of the parasite and hence, the disease.</em>

<em>Another way to reduce/prevent malaria is to prevent the vector, female anopheles mosquito from getting to the host, the human populace. This can also be achieved by several possible means.</em>

Relocating the entire village to a neighbouring village might not break the epidemiological triangle as long as female anopheles mosquito still abounds. In the same vein, antibacterial drugs will not help to treat malaria. However, instructing residents on personal protective measures and controlling the vector through chemical larvicides will go a long way in breaking the triangle and reducing the incidence on the malaria disease.

<em>The correct options is B and C.</em>

A balance is best used to measure a sample’s _______. a. volume b. length c. mass d. size
slamgirl [31]

A balance is best used to measure a sample's mass.

Answer: C

Explanation:

Weighing balance refers to a measuring instrument which is used to measure the mass of the sample.

It has two pans. On one pan, the material to be weighed is placed, with adequate known loads on the other one to such an extent that the shaft will be in balance.

The distinction between the zero perusing and the perusing with the dish stacked demonstrates the contrast between burdens in scale divisions.

Such an instant weighing needs the arms be of equivalent length.
