High temperature and high confining pressure
Answer:
A. Thalamus
Explanation:
There are two large ovoid organs called the thalamus, which form most of the lateral walls of the third ventricle of the brain. A variety of receptors transmit signals from the thalamus to the cerebral cortex. Thalamus is anatomically situated adjacent to the midline third ventricle in the brain.
The right answer is D (less responsive to antigens)
It is proven that, after puberty, thymus activity (an organ that is included in the lymphatic system, producing T cells that pick up antigens) decreases and that in adult and aged people the thymus has no role. Work done in humans indicate that in fact the cellularity begins to decline from birth in favor of lymphocyte perivascular spaces and connective and adipose tissue, which leads to a decrease in the capture of antigens.
