The cells directly responsible for cellular immunity are the cytotoxic T cells (lymphocytes).

Cellular immunity is an immune response against infectious diseases caused by viruses and some bacteria. This mechanism does not involve antibodies, but rather cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, phagocytes and the release of cytokines in response to an antigen. Cytotoxic T cells, perform their function by killing infected cells via apoptosis.

How does the theory of endosymbiosis differ from the autogenous and horizontal gene transfer theories in explaining the evolutio

Llana [10]

<h3>Answer and Explanation;</h3>

Endosymbiotic theory explains the origin of chloroplasts and mitochondria and their double membrane. Mitochondria of eukaryotes evolved from aerobic bacteria living within their host cell and the chloroplasts of eukaryotes evolved from endosymbiotic cyanobacteria.
On the other hand according to the autogenous hypothesis, mitochondria and chloroplasts have evolved within the protoeukaryote cell by compartmentalizing plasmids or vesicles of DNA within a pinched off invagination of the cell membrane.

Endosymbiont theory is the theory that suggests that simple prokaryotic cells were engulfed by larger prokaryotes 1.5 billion years ago.
Autogenous theory is a theory that was proposed as an alternative to endosymbiont theory. proposes that eukaryotic organelles formed by infolding of the plasma membrane.
Horizontal gene transfer theory is an alternative to endosymbiont and autogenous theories for the origin of complex organelles in eukaryotes.

light is focused in one eye,the pupil will constrict as a respond to the light flashed. It is repeated Again and observed.

The vitals were normal until he had the accident as the patient reached hospital his vitals were abnormal he had achycardia, severe hypotension, increased temperature and shallow breathing which is an indicator of C5 injury. After the surgery and the patient was treated he stabilises and achieved his vitals normal ranges in day 4 of admission.

The X ray result shows he has fracture of the 5th cervical bone.

The blood test shows he has a decreased pH level and an alteration in

his breathing pattern shows he has respiratory acidosis

Cranial tongs was uses to immobilize the neck and prevent it from moving it also aid healing

After the operation it was revealed that he has a damage on both sides of of his 5th Cervical bone which has lead to loss of sensation and strength in his upper arms and lower .It leads to incontinence in urine.
