Answer: Point source

Explanation:

An exotoxin is a toxic substance secreted by bacteria. The botulism exotoxin is the exotoxin secretes by bacterial strain named as Clostridium botulinum.

Point source outbreak is a condition in which people are exposed to the same source of infection from a pathogen. This may occur due to the consumption of a single meal which is being infected by the pathogen. This may lead to incidences of food poisoning, disease and even mass death.

Motor end plates are associated with
Mazyrski [523]
<span>Motor end plates are associated with muscular contractions. Motor end plates are the large and complex end formation of a motor neuron that builds contact with the skeletal muscle fibers. Without motor end plates, muscular contractions will not be possible. This works highly during emergency situations where the body takes a fight or flight reaction. <span>

<span>A good example is when the fingers touch a burning candle; these motor end plates get quick impulses from the brain and send signals to the muscles to move it away to prevent further damage to the body. Without motor end plates we would be in a heap of trouble as this is the mechanism of the body responsible for motor skills and quick reaction time.</span></span></span>

levacccp [35]

Answer:

explanation below

Explanation:

Leprosy, known as Hansen’s disease, is a chronic infection that is caused by Mycobacterium leprae. This disease damages peripheral nerves and effect areas like skin, yes, muscles and noses. Antibiotics are used to treat the infection between 6 – 12 months. When infected people refuse to follow the treatment schedules given to them by the medical experts, there is usually the development of more antibiotic-resistant M. leprae.  

M. leprae, just like tuberculosis, cell walls contain fatty molecules known as mycolic acids, which make the bacteria less susceptible to antibiotics.  

Researchers have made remarkable progress in developing drugs such as ethionamide, isoxyl, thiolactomycin, and triclosan that are known to inhibit mycolic acid biosynthesis.  

The development of these drugs are part of the tuberculosis drug discovery efforts (in the last one decade) which has been successfully applied to therapeutic targets in the unique mycobacterial wall.  

Since morphology and cell wall of M. leprae does not differ remarkably from that of M. tuberculosis, antibiotic developed to inhibit the biosynthesis of mycolic acids would help to treat leprosy

Answer:

Physical trauma, acute disease, chronic disease, infectious disease and emotional trauma.

Explanation:

Physical trauma, acute disease, chronic disease, infectious disease and emotional trauma are the ways from which health should be affected by happening of natural disasters such as earthquake and cyclones. We are able to predict the weather with the help of satellites that monitors the movement of clouds on the earth atmosphere. Advancement of technology is the main reason which enable us to predict the weather conditions as well as the coming of cyclones in a specific region.
