"Waste" -- in the form of urine and feces -- how the body removes the parts of food we ingest that is not used for nutrition and also is a way to rid the body of toxins. The kidneys filter the blood, removing "waste" products such as excess vitamins or drugs (this is why your urine can have a bright color if you take high doses of vitamin c) and liquid waste is held in the bladder before being released. Food travels through the gut to be digested -- broken down into usable bits and waste. After breaking down in the stomach, the material travels through the small and large intestines. The small intestine is lined with villi -- tiny protrusions that add surface area so nutrients can be absorbed into the bloodstream. In the large intestine and colon, water is pulled from the mass so it becomes more solid. Eventually the solidified waste passed through the rectum and out the anus as feces. The build-up of waste in the body can itself be toxic -- if the kidneys do not function properly to clean the waste out, the buildup can be fatal. When the body goes into emergency mode to eliminate a toxic substance -- such as e. Coli in the case of food poisoning -- the intestines don't both absorbing water and the result is the liquid fecal matter being quickly passed through and ejected as diarrhea.

14). Clonal selection and differentiation of B cells activated by antigen exposure leads to the production of ________. A) large

Margaret [11]

Answer:

The correct answer is D) short-lived plasma cells that secrete antibodies for the antigen

Explanation:

Each B lymphocyte has an antigen receptor (BCR: B cell receptor), a surface immunoglobulin (IgM or IgD), that binds to specific domains of the antigen called antigenic determinants or epitopes. Only B lymphocytes with a high antibody affinity for the antigen, and which are capable of processing and presenting it, will be positively selected. In this contact between the two cells, an exchange of chemical signals takes place that leads to the activation, clonal proliferation and differentiation of B cells into two sister subclones: one of antibody-secreting plasma cells, and the other of memory primed B cells. Therefore, only these last positively selected B lymphocytes will survive, proliferate and differentiate into plasma cells, synthesizing and secreting antibodies of a single isotypic class, with a unique specificity and high affinity, improving the ability to adhere to the antigen and, thus , neutralize and destroy pathogens.

Debora [2.8K]

The answer would be:
its shape
its action

Pronator means that the muscle will be doing pronation movement. The pronation movement could happen in the hands and feet.
The word teres saying that its shape is round. The name doesn't contain a hint about the number(like bi-ceps or tri-ceps) or the location(like palmar or plantar).

lutik1710 [3]

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is the neuromarketing technique that looks for active areas in the brain by measuring the amount of oxygenated blood flowing through the body.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a noninvasive technique for measuring the activities of the brain. This technique is used to observe the brain’s functional anatomy as it reveals the parts of the brain that are involved in a certain mental process. fMRI functions by using magnetic resonance imaging to measure the small changes in blood oxygenation and flow that take place as a result of activities of nerve cells in the active areas of the brain.
