Answer:
Birds can keep themselves warn without any external heat source which is not the case with reptiles and amphibians
Explanation:
Birds are able to generate heat means they are endothermic. They generate heat through various metabolic processes. They have air pockets beneath their feathers to insulate their bodies during cold temperatures. Feathers which are modified reptilian scales help birds to streamline their exterior body and structure feathers in a way that it insulates the body.
<span>Essential part of the maculae involved in static equilibrium is otoliths. The otolith organs sense gravity and linear acceleration such as from due to initiation of movement in a straight line. Persons or animals without otolith organs are imbalanced. The otolithic organs sense motion according to their orientation.</span>
Answer:
c) receptor; control center; effector.
Explanation:
Homeostasis maintains the internal body conditions almost constant. It includes specific cells that sense any deviations of internal or external conditions from the normal range. These cells are called receptors. The sensory information from the receptors is delivered to the control center. The central nervous system mainly serves as a control system wherein sensory information from the receptors is processed. The control center commands muscles and/or glands to perform desired responses to restore the homeostasis. Here, muscles and glands serve as effectors.
For example, thermoreceptors sense the rise of body temperature and the brain (control center) commands sweat glands (effectors) to produce sweat.
Answer:
Thermosensitive liposomes (TSL) are promising tools used to deliver drugs to targeted region when local hyperthermia is applied (∼40–42°C) which triggers the membrane phase transformation from a solid gel-like state to a highly permeable liquid state. Selective lipid components have been used to in TSL formulations to increase plasma stability before hyperthermia and speed drug release rate after. Two generations of TSL technology have been developed. The traditional thermal sensitive liposomes (TTSL) have utilized DPPC and DSPC as a combination. The second generation, lysolipid thermally sensitive liposomes (LTSL) technology, has been developed with incorporation of lysolipids that form stabilized defects at phase transition temperature. LTSL maintains certain favorable attributes:
High percentage of lysolipids incorporation;
Minimum leakage for therapeutical drugs encapsulation;
Ultrafast drug release upon heating (3.5 times enhanced compared to TTSL). For example, ThermoDox, a commonly used LTSL drug for cancer, has been reported to release 100% of the encapsulated doxorubicin within 30s;
First and most successful formulation for intravascular drug release.
