Answer:

Option A, The lymphocytes express antigens specific for the antibodies in the assay

Explanation:

The options for the question are  

a) The lymphocytes express antigens specific for the antibodies in the assay

b) The lymphocytes do not have antigens specific for the antibodies in the assay

c) This is not a valid method for identifying HLA agents.

Solution -

The aim of conducting this assay is to use the ability of the microlymphocytotoxicity assay (CdL)  to detect the antibodies specific to the antigens based on the complement dependent assay.

The B and T lymphocytes are tested at both warm and cold temperatures and then the result obtained is compared with  other non –complement based test results. HLA-ABC alloantibodies are weak in reactivity and specific to B cell hence they can be identified only through the CdL assay.  

Hence, option A is correct

Correctly match the following: - fibrous joint between radius and ulna - fibrous joint that unites bones of the skull - articula
topjm [15]

Answer:

- fibrous joint between radius and ulna: C. syndesmosis

- fibrous joint that unites bones of the skull: H. suture

- articulation between teeth and bone: J. gomphosis

- joint with a cavity between bones: E. synovial

- the epiphyseal plate: F. synchondrosis

- articulation between two pubic bones: A. symphysis

- permits opposition and reposition:  B. saddle  

- fibrocartilagenous fluid filled sacs outside the joint cavity: G. meniscus

- most common degenerative joint disease: D. osteoarthritis    

- movement of the sole laterally:  I. eversion  

Explanation:

The syndesmosis can be defined as a fibrous joint held together by ligaments. Sutures are fibrous joints of tissue that link the cranial bones of the skull. A gomphosis is a mobile fibrous that binds the teeth into sockets in the mandible and maxilla. Synovial joints are joints found between bones that move against each other (e.g., shoulder bones). They (synovial joints) are the most common class of joints found in the body. A symphysis is a cartilaginous, slightly movable, joint between two bones. A saddle is a synovial joint whose opposing surfaces are concave and convex, respectively. Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis, this condition occurs when the protective cartilage surrounding the bones wears away over time. Finally, eversion refers to a type of movement of the foot which occurs in the auctioneering joint.

Which phenomenon causes oceans to bulge? the blowing wind the Coriolis effect the moon’s gravity the rotation of Earth
Gelneren [198K]

The correct answer is (c) the moon' gravity

The moon's gravity causes oceans to bulge. The moon's gravitational power is responsible for the rising and falling tides.The moon affects the ocean on the sides of the planet facing and facing away from it which causes oceans to bulge away from the earth. On one side ocean bulges away from the earth as planet is being pulled towards the moon and on the other side the ocean bulges towards the moon. Bulges facing towards the moon is high tides and bulges not facing towards moon is low tides.
