Biology

Yanka [14]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Posterior column mediates a pathway called as posterior column medial lemniscus pathway in central nervous which is responsible for mediating certain sensations like touch, vibration etc. Damage to the left posterior column unable to transmit signals to the primary somatosensory cortex in the gyrus and parietal  lobe of the brain.

Explanation:

  • The spinal cord and cerebrum is connected by some specialized tract called as white matter tract. These tracts are either ascending or descending.
  • The another name of ascending pathway is known as medial lemniscus pathway.
  • The origin of this pathway takes place within posterior column of the spinal cord.
  • Posterior column medial lemniscus pathway is important as it transmit signals to the cerebrum which is responsible for generating impulse like vibration, touch etc.
  • Thus damage to this column can't be able to transmit signals to different parts of cerebrum and thus impulse like touch, vibration,pressure etc will not generate.

A very rare disease will cause damage to the ribosomes in cells. what would be the direct effect of this disease?
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

A rare disease that causes damage to the cell's ribosomes will have as a direct effect the inability to perform protein synthesis.

Explanation:

Ribosomes are cellular organelles formed by proteins and a type of RNA called ribosomal RNA, whose function is to translate the genetic code of the mRNA codon sequence and convert it into amino acids. This implies the first step for protein synthesis to occur.

<em><u>If a rare disease could structurally or functionally affect the ribosomes, the translation of mRNA into amino acids could not occur, so protein synthesis in the cell would not be possible</u></em>.

The consequences of the lack of protein synthesis involve severe consequences on the structure and function of a living organism.
