Answer:

The answer is C. Mycobacterium.

Explanation:

According to the symptoms the male demonstrates in the question, the primary organism causing these should be Mycobacterium because it is a bacteria that is associated with causing diseases such as Tuberculosis and Leprosy.

The symptoms of Tuberculosis include most of the listed ones which are fever, weakness and weight loss.

The diagnosis of endogenous osteomyelitis also indicates that the back pain is caused by the tuberculosis as well, Tuberculous Osteomyelitis to be exact which is also defined as Skeletal Tuberculosis.

I hope this answer helps.

Here you have two characteristics to cross on Punnet square: Blood type and pigment.

They told you both parents are AB this means co-dominance of A and B, you draw the Punnett square (photo), and you'll see your offspring possibilities are 50% AB type, 25% A type, and 25% B type.

Now they told you both parents are homozygous for pigments this means Aa. When you draw the Punnett square (photo), you'll see your offspring possibilities are 50% Aa, 25% AA, and 25% aa.

75% pigmented and 25% albino.

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Neurotransmitter

Explanation:

A neurotransmitter is a signal which transmits information between neurons at the end of the axon. This neurotransmitter can either be excitatory or inhibitory. Whenever an action potential is triggered within a neuron, the neurotransmitter releases this action potential into the synapses at the axon as either an excitatory or inhibitory signal before a new action potential is triggered.

According to the gate control theory of pain, how do gate neurons inhibit pain neurons? select one:
harkovskaia [24]

The gate control theory of pain states that the experience of pain is dependent on the complex interaction of the central and the peripheral nervous system. This theory was given by Ronald Melzack and Patrick Wall.

Usually, when a person experiences pain, the neurons transmits the message from the area of damage along the peripheral nervous system to the spinal cord and the brain.  The gate control theory suggests that the neurons encounter the 'nerve gates' while transmitting the pain messages in the spinal cord. These opening and closing of these gates is dependent on the multiple factors.  

The basket cells are the multipolar, inhibitory interneurons . Endorphins are the neuropeptide and the peptide hormones, which are secreted by the central nervous system and the pituitary gland. These structures have no relation with the transmission of the pain.

The hyperpolarization of the neurons by the opiate receptors resulting in the release of the substance P, which is a neurotransmitter involved with pain.

Hence, the correct answer is 'by releasing substance P'.
