Answer:

They are intermediate hosts.

Explanation:

Disease-transmitting insects are called vectors.

The life cycle of disease-causing pathogens is closely linked to the biology of the insect that carries it.

 The symptoms of gongylonemiasis include  hemorrhagic inflammation  at the site the pathogen invades,  followed by  granulomatous tissue development that  produces nodules in the invaded organ.

Some diseases transmitted by insects occur in both humans and other mammals because our differences in anatomy and physiology are not very different.

It is unlikely that clinical symptoms will occur in humans if the insect were the definitive host, because our biology is quite different from their biology, and the pathogen would be adapted to fulfill its entire life cycle in their body.

What happens in capillaries?
Reil [10]

Answer:

The exchange of biological material between tissues and blood vessels.

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

C shrink

Explanation:

a hypertonic solution has more solutes than the intracellular environment, so water will leave the cell to try to achieve equilibrium. If enough water is lost, the cell will take on a wrinkled or shriveled appearance. In red blood cells this is called crenation and the surface of the cells take on a scalloped appearance. A high amount of water loss can be damaging or even fatal for a cell.
