Answer:

SENSITIVITY

SPECIFICITY

Explanation:

Antigens refers to those particles that trigger the body to create an antibody. Antibodies on the other hand are part of the defence immune system of the body.

The tests used in detectection of antibodies and antigens help to us to get out some certain infections as well as other medical conditions.

Different antibodies that are present in the body can be detected and also be measured in body samples such as; blood samples,saliva sample.The results from this samples after the antibody tests can be use to diagnose for particular illnesses.

Therefore, the "Sensitivity" of a test means the test can detect even very small concentrations of the antigen or antibody being analyzed, whereas the "Specificity" of a test focuses on the ability of a test to only detect the desired antigen or antibody without reacting with other unrelated substances.

Several innovations in body design have evolved in animals. Which of the following innovations are present in vertebrates?
lord [1]

Vertebrates include all the species of subphylum Vertebrata, that is, chordates with vertebrates. With currently about 66000 species, the vertebrates shows the prodigious majority of the phylum Chordata. Vertebrates comprise of jawed vertebrates, like bony fishes and cartilaginous fishes, and jawless fishes.  

A vertebrate refers to a species with a backbone. The majority of the vertebrates exhibit bilateral symmetry. Coelomate animals exhibit a body cavity known as coelom with a complete lining known as peritoneum obtained from mesoderm. The majority of the bilateral animals, like all the vertebrates, are coelomates.  

Vertebrates show incremental growth, like the incremental lines in the dentine of teeth. The majority of the animals more composite than jellyfish and other Cnidarians are divided into two classes, that is, the deuterostomes and protostomes. The chordates that include all the vertebrates are deuterostomes.  

Thus, bilateral symmetry, coelom, incremental growth, and deuterostome development are the innovations found in vertebrates.

List the five layers of the epidermis from most internal to most external and describe the function of each layer.
ladessa [460]
The most internal layer of the epidermis is the stratum basale which contains melanocytes. Melanocytes produce melanin to protect the DNA. The cells of the stratum basale are the only cells that are capable of cell division. The stratum basale is attached to the underlying dermis. The stratum spinosum is superficial to  the stratum basale.  Stratum granulosum is superficial to the struatum spinosum. The stratum granulosum is three to five layers thick and contains keratohyalin granules, which produce keratin, a water proof protein.Stratum lucidum is superficial to stratum granulosum, but only in thick skin, which is on the palms and soles. Stratum corneum is about 25 cells thick and is the most superficial layer. It is dead and the cells are completely filled with keratin, which is waterproof. The many layers of dead skin protect from abrasion and are the first line of defense against any foreign bacteria, debris or virus.
