I think this layer is Stratum lucidum. This is a thin, clear layer of dead skin cells in the epidermis named for its translucent appearance when viewed using a microscope. It is also readily visible under the light microscope only in areas of thick skin, which are found on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet.
It is located just above the stratum granulosum and below the stratum corneum.

The perirhinal cortex is particularly important in ________ and receives more input from ________ than from ___________
dedylja [7]
The perirhinal cortex is particularly important in visual recognition and receives more input from the occipital lobe than from other cortical areas. In addition, the perirhinal cortex is a cortical region in the medial temporal lobe that is made up of Brodmann areas 35 and 36. It obtains highly administered sensory information from all sensory regions and is usually accepted to be a significant region for memory.

Which of these definitions have been paired with the correct type of cell?
patriot [66]

Answer:

B. Neurons are cells that conduct electrical impulses.

Explanation:

Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body. White blood cells protect against pathogens and aid in blood clotting after injury. Blood cells cannot contract.

Neurons generate and conduct electrical impulses. So this one is correct.

Epithelial cells line the cavities and surfaces of blood vessels and organs, protect underlying tissue, regulate the exchange of chemicals, and secrete various substances. They do not react to stimuli, however neurons do.

Smooth muscles helps the skeleton move, smooth muscle is found in blood vessels and some organs, and cardiac muscle helps the heart beat and pump blood. They are however, not components of blood.

If GFR is 125 ml/min, and you are studying a drug that has a renal clearance rate of 20 ml/min, you can conclude that
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

(B). The drug is reabsorbed.

Explanation:

Renal clearance rate determines the excretion of drugs into the urine during excretion. It is used to study the main process associated with a drug's renal excretion.

When the renal clearance rate is lower than GFR (glomerulus filtration rate), the drug is absorbed in the renal tubules. When the renal clearance rate is higher than GFR, the drug is secreted into the urine. When the renal clearance rate is equal to the GFR, the drug is neither reabsorbed nor secreted.

As for given drug, renal clearance is 20 ml/min (less than GFR), this drug will reabsorbed.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

Infer why it is more difficult to make an antiviral drug that fights a virus that replicates through the lysogenic cycle than it
jekas [21]

Answer:

In the lysogenic cycle, the viral genome gets incorporated into the host genome and replicates with the host genome. In the lysogenic cycle, no proteins and enzymes of the virus are formed while in the lytic cycle protein of viral capsid form and new phages generate in the host cell.

So as the viral genome integrates into the host genome in the lysogenic cycle, therefore, it is difficult for any drug to differentially act on the viral genome. So there are great chances for drugs to target the host genome in the host cell.  

But in virus that replicates through lytic cycle drugs can selectively act on viral enzyme and proteins. Therefore it is difficult to make a drug that affects lysogenic virus.
