<span><span>Information from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles is sent through </span>somatic motor neurons, thus enabling the body to move.</span>  
<span>
A motor neuron or motoneuron is a <span>neuron whose </span>cell body is located in the CNS-Central Nervous System (<span>brain or the </span><span>spinal cord), and whose </span>axon (fiber) directly or indirectly control effector organs, like muscles and glands. Motoneuron is a part of PNS-Peripheral Nervous System  which is serving as a relay between the brain and spinal cord and the rest of the body. Motoneurons are also called efferent  neurons to indicate the flow of information from the CNS to the periphery. The axon of motoneuron forms a neuromuscular junction with the effectors (muscles). A neuromuscular junction allows motoneuron to transmit a signal to the muscle fiber, causing muscle contraction. Motoneurons release acetylcholine (ACh) as neurotransmiter.</span>

2. Explain what the term "blood shift" means and how it works.
katrin [286]

Answer:

Explanation:

Left shift or blood shift is an increase in the number of immature cell types among the blood cells in a sample of blood.

For all of the above, you can say that blood shift (BS) happens (blood moves from non-vital organs to vital organs) when PV happens, but quite common Freedivers are using the term BS when describing the movement of the blood to the chest cavity to protect it from increasing pressure while diving deep.

A child is born to parents that both have hypophosphatemic rickets, a disease that is caused by a sex-linked dominant trait. Wha
Sati [7]

Answer:

75%

Explanation:

Hypophosphatemic rickets is a disorder characterized by hypophosphatemia (low level of phosphate in the blood), defective intestinal absorption of calcium, and rickets (impaired mineralization of cartilaginous growth plates)  or osteomalacia (impaired mineralization of the osteoid) unresponsive to vitamin D. It can be inherited or acquired.

When it comes to inheritable hypophosphatemic rickets, the disorder is most often inherited in an X-linked dominant manner. This means that the gene is inherited through the X chromosome and that one dominant allele is enough to cause it.

As the mother is heterozygous for the trait, she has one dominant and one recessive allele (XHXh). The father has one X chromosome, which he inherited from his mother, and as he has the condition, the dominant allele will be present on it (XHY).

This means that, if the child is a girl, she will definitely have the disorder. Girls inherit one X chromosome from each of their parents. Even if she inherited the one with the recessive allele from her mother, she would get the one with the dominant allele from her father.

If the child is a boy, he has a 50% chance to inherit the condition. Boys inherit the Y chromosome from their father and the X chromosome from their mother. As the mother is heterozygous, he can either get the chromosome without the dominant allele or the one with it. This means that there is a 50% chance of inheriting the disorder.

If we say that there are equal chances of this couple having female and male children, when we combine these results, we get a 75% chance of them inheriting hypophosphatemic rickets.
