Answer:

Inflammation

Explanation:

The inflammatory response (inflammation) can be described as a localized response to an injury or to the destruction of tissues. It occurs when tissues are injured by bacteria, trauma, toxins, heat, or any other cause. The cells in  damaged tissue release chemicals that can cause swelling, redness, heat, pain in the damaged area, all as part of the healing process. Some of those chemicals are cytokines that bring in body's immune cells. Others are histamine and prostaglandins which cause swelling, pain and fever. As the body heals, the inflammation gradually decreases.

Which of the following is maintained across the terminals of a battery?
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Option D, both A and B

Explanation:

The potential difference is created across a battery (between its two terminal –one positive and the other one negative) when work is done to move a charge from one point to another. This potential difference is measured in volts. 1 volt is the potential difference between two points when one joule of potential energy is spent to move a charge of one coulomb from one point to the other.  

Voltage drop across a circuit is the amount of electric current lost due to resistance/ impedance with in the cables of the circuit.  

Hence, both potential difference and voltage drop occurs across the circuit,  

Option D is correct.
