Answer:

D: texture

Explanation:

Depending on the size of the mineral grains that make the various types of igneous rocks, the igneous rocks can have fine or coarse texture.

The fine-grained igneous rocks have too small crystals of the minerals to be seen with unaided eyes. These rocks are formed by the rapid cooling of lava at the surface of the earth.

On the other hand, the coarse-grained igneous rocks have large crystals of minerals and are formed by slow cooling of magma.

Aphanitic igneous rocks such as basalt are fine-grained. Glassy igneous rocks do not have crystals and are formed by the rapid cooling of lava. Pegmatitic and porphyritic textures of igneous rocks are formed by the cooling of magma.

Fever results from the stimulations of the hypothalamic thermoregulatory center by: A prostaglandins B granuloma C opsonin D All
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

A prostaglandins

Explanation:

Fever is the abnormal body temperature that is caused by pyrogens.Pyrogens  are the chemicals produced by pathogen. Fever is protective mechanism of body to fight against pathogens. It is actually the immune response that spread to whole body with elevated temperataure. The elevated temperature helps to deal with pathogen more efficiently.

The interleukins released be immune cells in response pyrogen ultimately lead to release of prostaglandin E2. Prostaglandin E2 reset the hypothalamus thermoregulation. The hypothalamus feels the body temperature is cool although how high is the body temperature.
