5 0
The jugular veins are the veins responsible for bringing deoxygenated blood from the head to the heart. There are two sets of jugular veins, the internal and external ones. In pigs, the internal and external jugular veins are similar in size, while in humans the internal jugular vein is bigger in diameter than the external.

Andrews [41]
The answer is <span>-Only the few bacteria that were immune to the antibiotic survived and reproduced, making all their offspring immune to it as well.

Bacteria (or any other organism) are not able to make changes to their DNA in order to protect themselves or to learn to remove the receptors on their cell surfaces. If they were able to produce toxins against the antibiotics, they would all survive.
These leave the second choice as the correct answer. This is the real situation, and is a good example of natural selection.</span>

3241004551 [841]


The best answer is D.

Hormones are chemical messengers  secreted mostly into blood and also extracellular fluid by specialized tissue of the endocrine system and affect the functioning of other tissues or cells.

Most hormones circulate in blood and come in contact with essentially all cells, but a particular hormone will only affect a limited number of cells, which are termed as target cells to that hormone.

A target cell responds to a particular  hormone because it bears receptors for that hormone.

For example the red blood cells have receptors for the  hormone called insulin which is produced by the pancreas. The red cells are able to take in glucose  when their receptors bind to insulin.
