Answer:

It neutralizes the virus

Explanation:

When a vertebrate is infected with a virus, antibodies are produced against many epitopes on multiple virus proteins. A subset of these antibodies can block virus infection by a process that is called neutralization.

Antibodies can neutralize viral infectivity in a number of ways, as summarized in the illustration. They may interfere with virion binding to receptors, block uptake into cells, prevent uncoating of the genomes in endosomes, or cause aggregation of virus particles. Many enveloped viruses are lysed when antiviral antibodies and serum complement disrupt membranes.

During the accumulation of urine, the bladder distends, allowing stretch receptors in the transitional epithelium to be stimulat
Drupady [299]

Answer:

The given statement is TRUE

Explanation:

Urinary bladder is the hollow, muscular and distensible (elastic) organ in the urinary system of a human. The urine enters the bladder through the ureters from the kidneys. The urine collected in the bladder expands it.

The urinary bladder is made up of transitional epithelium. Once the urinary bladder is expanded to a certain extent it stimulates the stretch receptors in the transitional epithelium for the excretion of urine through the urethra.

Therefore, when the urine is accumulated in the urinary bladder, the bladder distends or expands and stimulates the stretch receptors in the transitional epithelium for urine excretion.
