<span>Glaucoma is an eye disease where there is too much pressure built up from fluid affecting the peripheral vision. Peripheral vision meaning the edges of your visual field.
The doctor saying that it's borderline means that it's almost glaucoma but it hasn't gotten there yet.
Some treatments for glaucoma include drops to help relieve the pressure behind the eyes and other medications. </span>
Answers: examples of host defence mechanism include: Innate anatomical and physiological barriers, Innate cellular and chemical defenses.
Explanation:
The capability of the human body to resist almost all types of organisms or toxins that tend to damage the tissues and organs is known as IMMUNITY. This host defence mechanism can be classified into INNATE or adaptive immunity.
The immunity that results from general processes, rather than from processes directed at specific disease organisms is called the INNATE IMMUNITY. The anatomical and physiological barriers of the innate immunity provides the first line of defence against pathogens. Examples of these barriers of the innate immunity includes:
--> Destruction of swallowed organisms by the low stomach pH and digestive enzymes
--> The vigorous mucociliary clearance mechanisms of the respiratory airways and lungs.
--> Resistance of the skin to invasion by organisms
While examples of innate cellular and chemical defenses include:
--> Phagocytosis of bacteria and other invaders by white blood cells and cells of the tissue macrophage System
--> lysozymes, a mucolytic polysaccharide that attacks bacteria and cause them to dissolute.
--> basic polypeptides which react and inactivate certain types of gram- positive bacteria
-->natural killer lymphocytes that can recognize and destroy foreign and tumor cells.
The correct answers are:
1. C. Western Africa;

Alfred Wegener has spent lot of times looking at maps, as it was his job. One day he noticed something peculiar, the western coast of Africa and the eastern coast of South America were an almost perfect match. They looked like peaces of puzzle that belong together. In his mind this was suggesting that these two continents had been merged in the past, and than broke apart. He later got proof about his theory by observing the sea mounts in the Atlantic Ocean.
