Why does the damage of the nervous system cause paralysis of the body?

Biology
1 answer:
Shtirlitz [24]3 years ago
4 0
Paralysis is most often caused by damage in the nervous system, especially the spinal cord. The nervous system is what give signals to the different parts of our body so that if it is damaged signals and messages could not be transported. If the central nervous system is damaged, paralysis frequently affects the movement of a limb as a whole, not the individual muscles.

Which step in the PCR program would you have to change if your fragment would have been 10 times longer and how?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

increasing extension time

Explanation:

The Polymerase Chain Reaction is a technique widely used in molecular biology laboratories to amplify target DNA regions. The standard steps of a PCR are as follow 1-denaturation, 2-annealing and 3-elongation/extension. These steps are repeated 15-40 times in order to exponentially amplify the linear DNA fragment. It is well known that longer extension times can be used as a strategy to increase the yield of longer PCR products. This is because the extension time depends on the synthesis rate of the DNA polymerase used in PCR technique and the length of the DNA fragment to be amplified.

A gecko is a type of reptile. How does a gecko most likely respond to cold air temperatures?
Tom [10]

Answer:

Your answer is D). Like most cold-blooded animals, geckos' bodies are unable to maintain a homeostatic body temperature on their own, therefore they must bask in the sun in order to increase their body heat, and hide in the shade when it's too hot.

lina2011 [118]
The abdominal cavity is lined by peritoneum. It is a membrane that covers the inner layer of the cavity and also the organs inside. The membrane on the inner wall is parietal Thperitonium and the membrane that lines the organ is called visceral peritoneum.  This helps in fixation and support of abdominal organs.
