Herbivores are close to the bottom of the pyramid, which means that other animals (carnivores) rely on them to eat the plants, stay alive, and then eat them as their own food, which then the cycle continues
The tetraspanins Tspan8 and CD151 promote metastasis, exosomes (Exo) being suggested to be important in the cross talk between tumor and host. The contribution of Tspan8 and CD151 to host versus tumor-derived exosome (TEX) activities being not defined, we approached the questions using 3-methylcholanthrene-induced (MCA) tumors from wt, Tspan8ko, CD151ko and Tspan8/CD151 (db)ko mice, implanted into tetraspanin-competent and deficient hosts.
Methods:
Tumor growth and dissemination, hematopoiesis and angiogenesis were surveyed in wild type (wt), Tspan8ko, CD151ko and dbko mice bearing tetraspanin-competent and -deficient MCA tumors. In vitro studies using tumor cells, bone marrow cells (BMC) and endothelial cells (EC) elaborated the mechanism of serum (s)Exo- and TEX-induced target modulation.
Results:
Tumors grew in autochthonous and syngeneic hosts differing in Tspan8- and/or CD151-competence. However, Tspan8ko- and/or CD151ko-tumor cell dissemination and settlement in metastatic organs was significantly reduced in the autochthonous host, and less severely in the wt-host. Impaired wt-MCA tumor dissemination in the ko-host confirmed a contribution of host- and tumor-Tspan8/-CD151 to tumor cell dissemination, delivery of sExo and TEX being severely impaired by a Tspan8ko/CD151ko.
Conclusions:
Tspan8-/CD151-TEX play central roles in tumor progression. Tspan8-/CD151-sExo and TEX contribute by stimulating angiogenesis. Tspan8 and CD151 fulfill these tasks by associating with function-relevant proteins, the additive impact of Tspan8 and CD151 relying on differences in preferred associations. The distinct Tspan8 and CD151 contributions suggest a blockade of TEX-Tspan8 and -CD151 promising for therapeutic intervention.

I think it is TRUE not sure though sorry
<span>BROCA'S AREA
Broca's area or the Broca area is a region in the left frontal lobe of the dominant hemisphere of the hominid brain with functions linked to speech production.
Broca area, also called convolution of Broca, region of the brain that contains neurons involved in speech function. This was discovered in 1861 by French surgeon Paul Broca, who found that it serves a vital role in the generation of articulate speech.</span>
Used by people is the answer. :-)
