A, B, C, D and E are pathogens of different diseases for human beings. The route of entry of pathogens in human body is differen

Goryan [66]

Answer:

Microorganisms which causes diseases is known as pathogen.

Explanation:

PATHOGEN -: Pathogens are agents that live in a host and are responsible for causing infections or diseases in that host, such as a human being. Microorganisms such as bacteria , viruses , fungi or protozoa, or other organisms such as parasites, worms and even contagious proteins such as prions, may be pathogens.

Viruses: Viruses are micro-organisms that are composed of nucleic acid and covered by a protein sheet. A lipid (fatty) outer layer is also present in some viruses. Enveloped viruses are called these. Non-enveloped viruses are considered those that do not have this lipid outer layer. Only inside their host's living cells are viruses able to replicate. EXAMPLE -: Influenza (influenza A and B viruses) and the common cold (rhinovirus) are examples of infections caused by viruses.

Bacteria: These are microorganisms which have a nucleus containing DNA surrounded by a cell wall or membrane. Among bacteria, the composition of the cell wall differs. If they are able to access food and nutrients, they have a more complex structure than viruses and can multiply beyond the host. EXAMPLE -: Foodborne diseases can be caused by bacteria such as Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli, while Staphylococcus aureus can cause skin infections.

Fungi: Fungi are single-celled or multicelled species that can live outside a host. They consume food and nutrients created after digestive enzymes have been secreted into their atmosphere. example-:  The foot of the athlete (Trichophyton mentagrophytes) and yeast infections (Candida albicans) are examples of infections caused by fungi.

Prions: These are infectious agents made up entirely of proteins and capable of transferring to other prion proteins their infectious properties. EXAMPLE -: Extreme infectious diseases such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease) and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) can be caused by prions.

Protozoa: Protozoa are single-celled organisms that display habits that are similar to animals, such as the ability to travel through water, and are capable of harvesting other microorganisms. They are able to live outside the human host, but when they enter the human host and spread, causing infections and diseases, they may also be parasitic in nature.  EXAMPLE -: Malaria and giardia include common infections

Yes , pathogen enter into the body directly -: Direct contact infections spread when, through direct physical contact with blood or body fluids, disease-causing microorganisms move from the infected person to the healthy person. Touching, kissing, sexual contact, contact with oral secretions, or contact with bodily lesions are examples of direct contact.
INCUBATION PERIOD OF A PATHOGEN -:The period of incubation is the interval between exposure to a pathogenic organism, a drug, or radiation, and when the first signs and symptoms are evident.

Endometriosis occurs when endometrial tissue, which normally grows inside the uterus, grows outside the uterus. Based on the mod

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Endometrosis could negatively affect the probability of gestating an embryo if they are growing inward. The affection of the fallopian tubes and the uterus could alter the implantation or even generate complications for the embryo during pregnancy.

In addition, endometriosis generates painful conditions in the abdominal area to the point that it is considered as menstrual cramps during menstruation, women who suffer from this disease suffer a lot during the menstrual cycle.

Regarding the reproductive system, those female reproductive systems that suffer from this disease are considered potentially malignant, since many malignant neoplasms are incited to appear in these foci of excessive proliferation of the endometrium.

Explanation:

Endometriosis can affect the walls of the fallopian tube and the uterus, since it occurs in the endometrium, that is why it bears that name.

The macroscopic appearance of this lesion at the histological level is a tumor nodule, since they are proliferative foci.

The energy that is released by the hydrolysis of atp by actin is used for:

anyanavicka [17]

The energy released is used for assembly of actin filament with myosin head. when myosin is attached to ATP its heads cannot bind to actin and therefore muscle will remain in relaxed form. However during muscle contraction an enzyme referred to as ATPase hydrolyses ATP to ADP and organic phosphate in the process releasing energy. The energy released changes the position of head of myosin which facilatate its binding with actin. Myosin moves towards m-line dragging actin along with it reducing the length of sarcomere leading to muscle contraction.

Describe the changes in our lungs when we breathe in and breath out?

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

When you breathe air in your diaphragm tightens and moves downward. It also increases the space in your chest cavity causing your lungs to expand.The muscles in your ribs also help to enlarge your chest cavity. This causes your rib cage to pull upward and outward when you inhale. When you exhale the exact opposite happens.
