The neurons function such that the form an intricate circuitry which is directly or indirectly has influence on brain tissues and other cellular components. The neuronal circuitry is affected by brain injury causing the death of glial cells and neurons and the connection is destroyed between them.

Brain injury mainly results from trauma or strokes and the components that are damaged include neurons, glial cells like microglia, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, the blood vessels and cells producing and recycling the cerebrospinal fluid or CSF that lines up the ventricles in brain. The blood flow is disrupted and the blood-brain barrier is also affected. The production, distribution and the re-absorption of the cerebrospinal fluid brings about changes in the metabolism and functioning of the cells in proximity of the dying tissues and also in remote brain regions which are connected anatomically to the injured area.

The region of a Drosophila embryo with a low concentration of bicoid protein will develop into the _____. a) abdomenb) male flow
joja [24]

Answer:

The correct option is d) head.

Explanation:

Bicoid protein works as a transcription factor. It enters the nuclei of the embryos in early segmentation, where it activates the hunchback gene. In Drosophila, embryonic development begins at the time of fertilization. The sperm enters the mature oocyte through the micropile, a structure located in what will be the anterior region of the egg. Bicoid and hunchback mRNAs, protein products are critical for the formation of the head and thorax. Already in the early stages of oocyte development, certain mRNAs are located in specific regions of the oocyte: mRNA molecules encoding the Bicoid protein are preferentially located in the anterior region of the oocyte. Moderate levels of the bicoid protein are necessary to activate the formation of the thorax (i.e., the expression of the hunchback gene) but the formation of the head requires high concentrations of Bicoid, the promoters of a specific gap gene of the head must have sites of low affinity binding for Bicoid, so that this gene can be activated only in extremely high concentrations of Bicoid.

The lack of Bicoid protein affects the formation of the head and other structures in the anterior region of the oocyte.

When the ocean absorbs CO2 it leads to what?
NeTakaya

Explanation:

Each liquid falls somewhere along a scale with acid at one end and alkaline at the other. Normally, ocean water is less acidic than fresh water. Unfortunately, as the ocean absorbs more and more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, it becomes more acidic. Lemon juice is an example of an acidic liquid.
