Answer:

<h3>IgA, IgM and IgG</h3>

Explanation:

Immunoglobulins are antibodies. They're proteins that are fabricated by the immune system after exposure to an antigen (something harmful to your body that causes an immune response). Immunoglobulins, or antibodies, fight off germs, illness, and diseases. They circulate throughout the body and can be found in your blood, sweat, saliva, and even in your breast milk.

A newborn does not yet have a mature immune system and is often unable to mount an effective immune response to combat antigens. Newborns are generally protected by the antibodies they receive through the placenta before birth and through their mother's breastmilk after birth. These antibodies will be the same ones that are circulating in the mother's system, which will include antibodies to the microorganisms in the mother's home environment and other places she frequents. Therefore, babies generally have antibodies to the germs in their own homes.

he baby has some immunoglobulins at birth, but the sheltered intra-uterine existence limits the need for learned immune responses to specific antigens. There are three main immunoglobulins, IgG, IgA and IgM, and of these only IgG is small enough to cross the placental barrier. It affords immunity to specific viral infections. At birth the baby's levels of IgG are equal to or slightly higher than those of the mother. This provides passive immunity during the first few months of life.  

IgM and IgA do not cross the placental barrier but can be manufactured by the fetus. Secretory Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is a special immunoglobulin. It's the main antibody found in breast milk and is considered the most important immunoglobulin in breast milk. IgA is important because it coats and seals the child´s respiratory and intestinal tract to prevent germs from entering the body and the ​bloodstream. The IgA antibodies can protect from a variety of illnesses including those caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.

The state of Ohio has a dwindling population. In an effort to increase the birthrate in the state, it offers a $5,000 bonus to a
oee [108]

<u>Answer: </u>

An increase in the need for teachers as a result of more children in the Ohio educational system is the latent function.

Option: (A)

<u> Explanation: </u>

  • Owing to the scheme implemented by the Ohio state government, it is obvious that more parents would be motivated to give birth to birth to more number of children in the next three years.
  • As some of the consequences of the scheme implemented, the population of the state would increase considerably in the next three years. As there would be more more children born in the next three years, the newly added population would be more or less in the same age group.
  • Thus, among the needs that would be required to be fulfilled owing to the growth in the population, the need for teachers would be latent and inevitable.

Grossly disorganized behavior incorporates trouble in objective coordinated conduct (prompting challenges in exercises in every day living), unusual agitation or strangeness, social disinhibition [loss of ordinary inhibitions], or practices that are peculiar to spectators. Their purposelessness recognizes them from uncommon conduct provoked by fanciful convictions.
