Answer:

B

Explanation:

Our bodies can produce antibodies against viruses when they're in the interstitium before they invade our cells. They induce a complete primary response with memory cell production.

And the biggest evidence is that if a person gets chicken pox (Varcilla), it's not likely that they'll ever get it again.

Now why isn't that so for all viruses? Why is it that we keep getting flu?

Not all viruses are like the Varcilla with stable genetic makeup. Many viruses keep changing their antigens so that even if the immune system produced antibodies against a certain strain with a certain antigen, it won't recognize a different, mutated strain.

Viruses can evade our immunological memory in this way.

Give the definition of parasympathetic nervous system?
SashulF [63]

Answer: Autonomic nervous system is made up of 3 divisions; Sympathetic nervous system, parasympathetic nervous system and sympathetic division. All these divisions are involuntary actions where parasympathetic is ultimately responsible for the "rest and digest" part of it. When the body is at rest the parasympathetic nervous system inhibits or lowers high energy requiring bodily functions.

This nervous system will lower any fight or flight response actions such as the release of epinephrine into the blood and enable digestion, urination and defeacation. When engaged in digestion you feel relaxed and at rest, this is solely due to the parasympathetic nevous system.

Explain the difference between an iconic compound and a covalent compound<br>​
Cerrena [4.2K]
A basic definition of an ionic compound is that they are molecules that consist of charged ions. These ions have opposite (both negative and positive) charges. On the other hand, covalent compounds are non-metals which are bound together, and consist of two electrons that are shared between two atoms.

kupik [55]

Answer:

Air mass can be described as the volume of air present and the temperature of that mass of air.

Polar air masses are cold. They have less moisture content. The temperature of Maritime Polar air mass ranges from above freezing to below 70 degrees F.

Tropical air masses can be described as air masses that are warm and have a high moisture content. Temperature ranges between 70 degrees F to 90 degrees F.

What is the result of wave motion on water particles?
BARSIC [14]

The correct answer is: A. Water particles barely move forward; they move in a circular pattern.

Wave motion is a disturbance that moves and carries energy. When move through the water medium, waves do not transport water they just move energy (the water stays more or less in the same place). As a wave crest (high point of wave) passes, the water particles move in circular paths. The circles are smaller in deeper water.
