Answer:

The best explanation for the increased lymphocyte levels in Kaya is that she was not tissue typed prior to her surgery, and her body is mounting an immune response.

Explanation:

When performing an organ transplant, it must be verified whether the organ to be transplanted is compatible -by tissue typing- with the recipient, since it is recognized as a foreign body by the body and can be rejected.

One of the immunological responses to organ rejection is called cell rejection, involving T-helper and cytotoxic lymphocytes.

It is very likely that in Kaya's case the tests have not been performed correctly, and she is experiencing rejection of the organ she received. The progressive increase in lymphocytes may be an indication of this.

The other options are not possible because:

Administering antibiotics should not raise lymphocyte levels.
There is no evidence of antigen attack.
Immunosuppressant drugs do not increase lymphocyte count.

Factors such as age, gender, family history, and genetics are _____ risk factors, while _____ risk factors are ones that are in

Helga [31]

Factors such as age, gender, family history, and genetics are nonmodifiable risk factors, while modifiable risk factors are ones that are in your power to change.
You cannot change your age, family history or genetics - you will age no matter what, and you will inherit some traits from your ancestors whether you like it or not. Gender is more flexible nowadays as there are surgeries that can help people change their gender.

Which of the following events is typical of meiosis but not of mitosis?

marin [14]

Answer:

D. the homologous chromosomes are paired AND the spindle is formed

Explanation:

Meiosis is the type of cell division that results in four daughter cells with each having a reduced number of chromosomes (by half). Both meiosis and mitosis occur in different stages including prophase, metaphase, anaphase etc but meiosis occurs in two series of division processes called meiosis I and meiosis II.

In prophase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes, which are similar but non-identical chromosomes from male and female parents pair to form tetrad or bivalent. This pairing of homologous chromosome is unique and peculiar to MEIOSIS but never mitosis.

Different cell types can react differently to epinephrine in the human body. Choose two cell types in the human body and briefly

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

I haven't really learned about cell types but I did find this information

Explanation:

How can epinephrine have different effects on different cells? Different cells have different receptors that bind epinephrine. Different cells activate different enzymes as a result of epinephrine binding.

epinephrine induces increased vascular smooth muscle contraction, pupillary dilator muscle contraction, and intestinal sphincter muscle contraction. Other significant effects include increased heart rate, myocardial contractility, and renin release

Hope it at least helps a little :)
