Answer:

somatic motor neuron hyperexcitability; inhibition

The neuronal circuitry to skeletal muscles involves neurons that stimulate contractions and those that inhibit contractions. The muscle spindles and Golgi tendon organs are involved in maintaining the proper muscle tonus (resting muscle tension); they work by signaling the CNS. Since tetanus involves SOMATIC MOTOR NEURON HYPEREXCITABILITY, the neurons involved in muscle contraction INHIBITION are affected.

Explanation:

Tetanus is a infection that is caused by a bacteria called Clostridium tetani. It occurs when open wounds in the body are not properly treated and they get infected. This wound can be caused by stepping on a nail or sharp object like broken bottle.

When tetanus enters an open wound present on the body, it attacks the neurons in the body, specifically the somatic motor neurons. Tetanus hinders the release of neurotransmitters and blocks the inhibitory properties of the muscles. These causes the muscles of the body to contract unhindered and uncontrollably resulting in spasms. This can also be referred to as neuronal hyperexcitabilty.

Answer:

1) Somatic motor neuron hyperexcitability 2) inhibition

Explanation:

Tetanus is infection caused by the toxin produced by the bacterium <em>Clostridium tetani. </em>The tetanus injections are highly recommended whenever a person got injured like on bike accident because it entered the body by break in skin.

Tetanus toxin is transported to spinal cord by binding to presynaptic membrane of neuromuscular junction. Tetanus blocks the neurotransmitter ( GABA and glycine) release from inhibitory neuron which causes the continuous hyperexcitability of motor neuron. So The motor neurons keeps on exiting because inhibitory neurons are unable to release neurotransmitter and this conditions interferes with muscles relaxation.

It may cause fever, headache, breathing problem and bone fracture.

What is cellular respiration
Oduvanchick [21]
Cellular respiration happens in all eukaryotic cells and it occurs in the mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell. cell resp breaks up glucose in order to create more ATP for the cell. the products that go IN are GLUCOSE and OXYGEN. the products that come OUT are CARBON DIOXIDE, WATER, and of course, ENERGY.

What are the three different ways living things consume energy and how are they labeled?
34kurt

Energy is the ability to do work. The form of energy that living things need for these processes is chemical energy, and it comes from food. Autotrophs make their own food. Heterotrophs obtain food by eating other organisms. Organisms mainly use the molecules glucose and ATP for energy.

During DNA replication, an open section of DNA, in which a DNA polymerase can replicate DNA, is called a replication fork. 2. Ok
Fiesta28 [93]

The question has been answered itself but the answer will contain the detail explanation.

Answer:

1. The replication fork formation during DNA replication is important for the continuity and the addition of the further base pair on the template. The DNA initiation process starts by the formation of replication fork.

2. The okazaki fragments are the short DNA fragments that are formed on the lagging strand. These fragments are later joined by the enzyme DNA ligase.

3. Leading strand is the continuous strand that formed during the DNA replication. The direction of the leading strand is 5' to 3' .

4. DNA polymerase is the main replicating enzyme during the DNA replication process. Different types of DNA polymerase with multiple subunits are present in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

5. The new DNA that are formed from the parental strand and complementary with each other are called daughter DNA.
