1) The limbs of a bat and the forelimbs of a bird is an example of Analogous structures

2) The arm of a human and the arm of chimpazee is an example of Homologous structures

3) Frogs and salamanders is an example of Homologous structures

<span>Homologous structures, are organs or systems of different living beings that have a common origin, but different adaptations. For example, the extremities of a dog and a dolphin, are homologous, have similar bones, only that some adapted to the race and others to swimming. On the other hand, analogous structures are organs or systems of different living beings that do not have a close origin in common, but are adapted to the same environment, for example, fins of fish and dolphin fins, the function is the same, the origin is different; or the wings of birds and the wings of insects.</span>

Sheath of schwann cell containing cytoplasm and nucleus that encloses myelin. True or False

chubhunter [2.5K]

The given question is not about true/false. The correct question is:

Question: Sheath of schwann cell containing cytoplasm and nucleus that encloses myelin.......

Answer:

Neurolemma

Explanation:

Schwann cells are one of the two types of neuroglia that produce myelin sheaths. Schwann cells produce the myelin sheath in the peripheral nervous system. These cells produce the myelin sheaths around axons during fetal development. During the process, several layers of the glial plasma membrane surround the axon. The Schwann cell’s cytoplasm and nucleus form the outermost layer. On the other hand, the inner part is composed of multiple layers of Schwann cell membrane and is called the myelin sheath. The outer nucleated cytoplasmic layer of the Schwann cell that encloses the myelin sheath is called the neurolemma.

Both normal and transient flora can become opportunistic pathogens. True or False

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Normal flora are microorganisms that are regarded as resident organisms, which can be found on or in an individual and do not cause any disease.

the transient flora refers to microorganisms that are found on the skin or the hands which are there through direct contact with person or object, and are easily removed by routine hand hygiene. Example is Norovirus that can cause stomach flu.

Opportunistic pathogens are microorganisms such as the bacteria and virus, which can only cause infection when the immune system is down. This means that , these organisms can not cause any infection as long as the immune system is ok.

In this case, the normal and transient flora like Norovirus can only cause infection when the immune system is down. That is why they are regarded as opportunistic pathogens.
