Meninges refers to the three layes of membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord of the mammals. The inflammation of these protective membranes of the brain and the spinal cord caused by the infection of bacteria, virus or other microorganisms is called the meningitis.
A laboratory test to identify or rule out meningitis is the analysis if the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by lumbar puncture. CSF is a colorless fluid filling the ventricles of the brain and the central canal of the spinal cord. Lumbar puncture is a techinque of isolating the CSF from the sac sround the spinal cord using a needle under a local anesthetic. The sample is then analysed for the opening pressure which is normally between 6 and 18 cm of water in a patient who is not infected with meningitis. Also, the levels of glucose in CSF is above 40% of that in blood in non-infected persons. If lactate levels are less than 35mg/dl, this will also rule out meningitis.
A Trombe wall (Trombe rhymes with prom, by the way) is a wall that warms trapped air, and then circulates it to help heat a house. Trombe walls are ideally made out of a material with a fairly high thermal mass materials (like bricks or concrete), and are often painted black to improve heat conduction
If a deep ocean trench is located adjacent to a continent, active volcanoes would likely be found landward from the trench.
Answer:
The correct option is C. A virus contains RNA or DNA in a protein coat.
Explanation:
Viruses can be described as tiny particles which are able to incorporate their genetic material into a host. Many viruses can be destructive to the host cells.
The structure of a virus includes DNA or RNA which is enclosed in a structure known as an envelope or capsid. The envelope or capsid is made up of proteins. Some viruses also have a tail.
The capsid of a virus usually remains outside the host cell and it injects its viral genome into the host cell. The DNA or RNA o the virus then incorporates in the host cell.
