The popliteal space or popliteal fossa is located at the back of the knee. Pressure in this area often leads to fluid build-up, leading to Baker's Cyst. Usually, this condition arises as a result of other damages (injuries, surgeries, disease such as arthritis) to the knee area. The fluid surrounding the knee cap leaks and collects behind the knee, causing it to swell. The condition is not life-threatening, but may cause pain and discomfort.

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

*Sensory adaptation* is the common adaptation in all three sense. Sensory adaptation is the process in which changes in the sensitivity of sensory receptors occur in relation to the stimulus. All senses are believed to experience sensory adaptation.

Explanation:

This adaptation is shared as well as used differently as explained below.

1) Hearing+balance :In terms of hearing, our ears adapt to loud sound as it hits the small bones located in the inner ear. The loud sound leads the inner ear bone/s to contract. This contraction causes the reduction or delay of transmission of sound vibrations to the inner ear. Detection of the vibrations follows. However, this process of auditory adaptation usually does not work very well with loud sounds that are sudden or instantaneous. Examples of these sounds are gun shots or explosions

2)Smell :Low concentrations of several chemicals present in the air can be detected by the sensory receptors in the nose. These chemicals that we quickly detect include those in perfumes or air fresheners

Answer:

lytic, because of the quick onset of symptoms after infection

Explanation:

As seen in the question above, the SARS virus tends to develop symptoms very quickly when it is infecting a person. This speed in the development of symptoms is a characteristic of the lytic cycle, in relation to the reproductive cycle of viruses. This is because in the lytic cycle, a virus can infect many cells at once, which accelerates the development of the disease. This cycle allows the virus to use all of the cell's biological machinery to reproduce more copies of the virus. When these copies are ready, the virus causes the destruction of the host cell and the release of new viruses to other cells, where the whole process will be repeated. This is all done very quickly.

The lysogenic cycle does not cause the rapid infection of thousands of cells, since it is necessary that there is an adaptation between the DNA of the cell and the DNA of the virus. This slows down the infection process and, therefore, symptoms appear more slowly.
