Answer:
E. Interleukin-1
Explanation:
Interleukin-1 is produced by macrophages and is involved in promoting the proliferation of helper T cells. Interleukin-1 also acts on the hypothalamus to cause fever. Fever refers to abnormally high body temperature. During infection and inflammation, the hypothalamic thermostat is reset in response to interleukin-1 resulting in fever. The presence of certain bacterial toxins in the body triggers the release of interleukin-1 from macrophages and the body temperature is elevated. Fever inhibits the growth of some microbes, intensifies the effects of interferons, and stimulates the body's immune reactions.
B)<span>When you listen to the heart sounds, you are hearing the flow of blood which stops abruptly when a heart valve closes. This produces the "lub-dub" sounds. 1st heart sound (when the Mitral Valve closes) as the ventricle contracts (systole) and then 2nd heart sound (when the Aortic Valve closes) and the ventricle starts to fill again (diastole)
</span><span>The pulse is the wave of pressure you can feel through the artery walls. This denotes systole.
</span><span>The ECG's QRS complex is the electrical signal that tells the Ventricles to contract. You can see that the QRS occurs right at the beginning of systole and triggers Isovolumetric contraction.
</span><span>So the QRS on the ECG, the pulse wave you can feel (ie. the rise in aortic pressure) and the 1st heart sound all signify SYSTOLE.
</span><span>there a delay between systole of the ECG and the resulting pulse felt in the finger (R-Pulse) </span>because it takes a little bit of time for the pressure to transmit through the body, as the finger is not on the heart (if it was there would be no delay)
The B-pleated sheet is held together by hydrogen bonds between adjacent segments.
In an a-helix the side chains are located on the outside of the helix
The secondary level of protein structure refers to the spatial arrangements of short segments of the protein
Answer:
The swim bladder is located in the body cavity and is derived from an outpocketing of the digestive tube. It contains gas (usually oxygen) and functions as a hydrostatic, or ballast, organ, enabling the fish to maintain its depth without floating upward or sinking.
