The answer is amyloid beta. They clump together and form plaques. The formed plaque can block signals transmitted from one cell to another cell. In addition, the plaque can cause swelling, especially in the area where it is formed. It can also digest the disabled cells. This type of plaque is very common among patients with Alzheimer's Disease.

How do you think that wearing personal protective equipment helps to protect us from contracting airborne diseases?

Answer:

Airborne transmission may occur if patient respiratory activity or medical procedures generate respiratory aerosols. These aerosols contain particles that may travel much longer distances and remain airborne longer, but their infective potential is uncertain. Contact, droplet and airborne transmission are each relevant during airway manoeuvres in infected patients, particularly during tracheal intubation.

Plzz help!!'<br><br> in complete sentences, compare the circulatory system of a plant and an animal
