Answer:
Multiple Sclerosis is an inflammatory disease in which myelin sheath of nerve cells of brain and spinal cord are damaged.
Explanation:
Cause:- (Exact cause of inflammation is not known)
- But damage is caused due to attack by autoimmune cells or antibodies against myelin sheath.
Types of tissues attack:-
- Oligodendrocytes and myelin sheath is damaged and stripped away from axon and the process is known as demyelination.
- Myelin sheaths are made up of fatty tissues and help in transmission of electric impulse.
Result of immune system attack:-
- Damaged myelin sheath stop forming whIte matter of central nervous system.
- Hence disrupt coordinating communication between different brain regions.
Signs and symptoms:- vary from person to person
- Diminished eyesight.
- Disrupt motor coordination.
- Weak sensory perception.
- Fatigue and dizziness.
- Speech disorder.
- Muscle weakness and spasticity.
- Difficulty in urination and stool.
Diagnosis and treatment:-
- Diagnosis include MRI T2 findings and cerebrospinal fluid specific oligoclonal bands.

A) weapons for an evolutionary arms race w/ disease causing organisms
Answer:
1. Transverse foramina present: Cervical
2. No canals or foramen present. It articulates superiorly with the sacrum: Coccyx
3. Receive the most stress: Lumbar
4. Attach to ribs: Thoracic
5. Articulates with hip bones of the pelvis: Sacrum
Explanation:
The vertebral column is a <u>series of 33 bones called vertebrae</u> that play a key role in organ protection, movement of body, and overall support. The column has been divided into <u>5 different regions</u> with the number of bones.
<u><em>1. Cervical Vertebrate</em></u><u>:</u> These are the group of <u>seven vertebrae of the neck</u>, start immediately below the skull. Two cervical bones C1 and C2 are unique in function. They are responsible for the movement of the head. They have <u>transverse foramina</u> which <u>gives passage to vertebral artery and vein</u>.
<em><u>2. Thoracic Vertebrae:</u></em> They are a group of twelve small bones that form the vertebral spine in the upper trunk. The function of the thoracic vertebrae is to articulate with ribs to produce the bony thorax.
<em><u>3. Lumbar Vertebrae: </u></em>This is the largest segment of the vertebral column that consists of 5 bones between the rib cage and pelvis. They <u>carry all of the upper body weight</u> providing flexibility and movement to the trunk region. This is why it can <u>receive the most stress easily</u>.
<em><u>4. Sacrum Vertebrae: </u></em>There are 5 sacral vertebral fused bones. It <u>connects to the hip bones and play role in forming a strong pelvis</u>.
<em><u>5. coccyx Vertebrae:</u></em> These are a group of 4 fused bone. There is <u>no vertebral canal due to a lack of vertebral arches</u>. They <u>provide </u>an <u>attachment site for muscles</u> ligament and tendons. They also <u>play a role in stabilization and support</u> while sitting.
<span>These are viroids. They are some of the smallest types of matter that have been shown to take on the properties of living beings. They have the ability to replicate, while not having many of the mechanisms that are commonly found in DNA and required for them to replicate.</span>
Answer:
c. False
This statement is incorrect because the DNA of bacteria is circular without histones.
Explanation:
a. True
Some archaea have very specific lipids in their membrane. Differently of the bacterias that have usual lipids in their membranes.
b. True
Archaebacteria do not have peptidoglycans in their cell wall
d. True
Methanogenic archaeobacteria are those that use carbon dioxide and hydrogen to produce methane. They are found in the digestive system of ruminants, sewers and swamps.
