<span>Penile shaft

</span>During erection, blood<span> flows into the spaces, causing distention and elevation of the penis. The amount of blood entering the penis can be increased by physical or psychological stimulation. As blood enters, there is a temporary reduction in the rate and volume of blood leaving the penis. The arteries carrying blood to the penis dilate; this, in turn, causes tissue expansion. The veins leading from the penis have funnel-shaped valves that reduce the outflow of blood. As the erectile tissue begins to enlarge, the additional pressure causes the veins to be squeezed against the surrounding fibrous tissue, and this further diminishes the outflow of blood. Essentially, blood becomes temporarily trapped in the organ.</span>

The answer is penile shaft. 

The penile shaft has 3 erectile columns. There are 2 corpus cavernosum and 1 corpus spongiosum. The skin is loose because those columns fill with blood and the skin will stretch and that's why it hardens. It is the changes in blood flow in the penis that results in an erection.

densk [106]

Answer: Phagocyte receptors that detect PAMPs

Explanation:

TLRs or Toll-like receptors, are a family of proteins that are part of the innate immune system. TLRs are transmembranous and recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), which are groups of chemical characteristics common to certain types of pathogens. Patterns detected by TLRs include lipopolysaccharide, a compound found on the surfaces of Gram-negative bacteria, and double-stranded RNA, which is an integral part of the life cycles of many viruses. These PAMPs are generally important for the survival of the pathogen, so they are well preserved. <u>Activation of these receptors induces inflammatory responses in leukocytes of myeloid lineage, signaling via NF-κB, which is a transcription factor that activates pro-inflammatory genes</u>. Activated TLRs also increase the production of co-stimulatory molecules such as CD80, CD86 and CD40. These proteins, expressed on the surface of antigen-presenting cells, are necessary for the activation of T-lymphocytes by dentritic cells and macrophages already showing antigens in their MHC type II molecules (Major Histocompatibility Complex, they participate in the presentation of antigens to T lymphocytes)

<u>In addition, TLR-mediated signaling on antigen-presenting cells (APCs) plays an important role in linking the innate and adaptive immune responses</u>.

What are the differences between Parasympathetic nervous system and sympathetic nervous system
krok68 [10]

The parasympathetic nervous system responds when the body is relaxed and at rest while sympathetic nervous system is responsible for response to emergency situation.

Explanation:

  • The sympathetic nervous system is called fight or flight division  while the parasympathetic nervous system is the rest and digest division.
  • The pre-ganglionic neurons of sympathetic nervous system arises from lumbar and thoracic regions of spinal chord while the preganglionic neurons of parasympathetic nervous system arises from the brain and sacral region of the spinal cord.
  • The sympathetic nervous system decreases the activity of digestive system while the parasympathetic nervous system increases the activity of digestive system.
  • Sympathetic nervous system dilates bronchioles while parasympathetic nervous system constricts bronchioles.
  • Sympathetic nervous system increases blood pressure while parasympathetic nervous system usually do not effect  blood pressure.
  • Sympathetic nervous system increases heart rate while parasympathetic nervous system decreases heart rate.
