The skin is an example of a non-specific defense.
For example, bacteria or diseases have trouble entering a healthy person's skin because it is formed by closely packed cells with multiple layers and a substance called keratin that protects is.

On the other hand, the immune system is a specific defense mechanism. 
When bacteria is able to enter the body in cases of fever for example, the immune system is activate and sends out protector cells such as the white blood cells to combat infection.

Match each muscle term with weather they are Smooth Muscle and or Cardiac Muscle
Hoochie [10]

Answer:Three types of muscle tissue exist in the body namely;

Skeletal muscles which moves bones and other structures of the body.example,the bicep muscle.

Cardiac muscles found in the heart that contract the heart to pump blood.

Smooth muscles found in hollow organs like stomach, intestines and blood vessels.

All the muscles terms used in the questions are all related to Skeletal muscles and not Cardiac or Smooth muscle.

Explanation:

A; The fixed end of a muscle is called the Origin of the muscle.

B; The mobile end of a muscle is know as muscle insertion.

C; A muscle that accomplishes a certain movement is called an agonist.example;flexion.

D; A muscle that opposes a muscle that accomplishes a certain movement is known as antagonist.

Antagonist relaxes relatively to stretch when faced with opposition.

E; Members of a group of muscles working together to produce a movement is known as synergists.example, muscles involved in the flexion of the elbow.

F; Muscles that hold one bone in place relative to the body are known as Fixators. example,muscles of the scapula holding it in place during contraction or movement.

G; One muscle of a group working together that plays the major role in accomplishing the movement is known as synergist.example, bicep brachii and bra- chialis in elbow flexion.

1. In a few sentences that are your own, describe the process of transcription. Be sure to explain where it occurs in the eukary
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Explanation:transcription is the transfer of genetic information from DNA to mRNA, which can be translated to a functional protein. Eukaryotic transcription occurs in the nucleus. The process starts when RNA polymerase regonises certain transcription factors upstream of the promoter region. binding of RNA polymerase to these transcription factors in addition to other molecules form the basal transcription factor. The enzyme then moves from 5' to 3' of the template strand (strand to be transcribed) adding corresponding nucleotides to form the new RNA strand (pre mRNA). The newly synthesized RNA then undergoes three basic steps ( capping, polyadenylation and splicing) to become a mature translatable mRNA.

Egg and sperm cells (or their precursors) are called germ cells. all other cells in the body are called?
Vinvika [58]

All other cells in the body are called Somatic cells.

What are germ cells?

The founding cells of all sexually reproducing organisms are known as germ cells. They are separated from the embryo's other somatic cells during development. Germ cells grow at the edge of the embryo proper in many animals before moving through a number of developing somatic tissues on their way to the developing gonad.

What are somatic cells ?

Any cell in the body that is not a gamete (egg or sperm), a germ cell (cell that develops into a gamete), or a stem cell is referred to as a somatic cell. Somatic cells are essentially any cells that make up an organism's body and are not directly utilised to create a new creature during reproduction.

The muscular system and the skeletal system are two different organ systems, but they’re often referred to jointly as the muscul
Natali [406]

Answer:

(for 1st question)

Plato's answer: This world exists because both systems are involved in the movement and support of the body, and they work together to perform these functions. Bones provide support and give the body structure. Muscles give strength, and the contraction and relaxation of muscles allow for different movements.

Explanation:

Another Answer: The muscular system is responsible for the movement of the human body. Attached to the bones of the skeletal system are about 700 named muscles that make up roughly half of a person's body weight. Each of these muscles is a discrete organ constructed of skeletal muscle tissue, blood vessels, tendons, and nerves.
