Answer:

LD50 (median lethal dose)

Explanation:

  • Whenever one needs to quantify the virulence of a pathogen then this is done by using a set of laboratory animals.
  • LD50 (median lethal dose) is an important indicator of virulence. 
  • LD50 is defined as the number of pathogens that are required to kill 50% of the total infected animals.
  • For the calculation of LD50, the animals are infected with a known number of pathogens and then a graph is plotted for the percentage of animals killed against the concentration of the pathogen used for infection.<em> The point at which the graph indicates the death of 50% animals, the corresponding concentration of inoculation of a pathogen is taken as the LD50 of that particular pathogen. </em>

The endocrine system consists of ________
olga_2 [115]

Answer: The endocrine system consists of Glands.

  • The glands that make up the endocrine system produce chemical messengers called hormones that travel through the blood to other parts of the body. Important endocrine glands include the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, thymus, and adrenal glands.

  • The endocrine system is made up of the endocrine glands that secrete hormones. Although there are eight major endocrine glands scattered throughout the body, they are still considered to be one system because they have similar functions, similar mechanisms of influence, and many important interrelationships.
