Answer:

If the immune system has a destructive and autoimmune response, it produces specific antibodies, which bind to the receptors of the thyroid cells and destroy them thinking that they are antigens or factors not characteristic of the body.

Explanation:

This happens because the thyroid cells do not present on its surface the histocompatibility complex, which is a surface protein similar to the proper and non-proper "seal", that is, it is the demarcation by which the antibodies and the cells are guided to recognize what foreign to the organism.

The histocompatibility complex is sometimes absent or rather mutated, thus generating that these cells are considered not their own and that the antibody is a receptor in order to generate the autolysis pathway or even the immune defense pathway.

Is this statment true or false ?? the united states population grows when more people are born worldwide each year than die worl

sesenic [268]

Answer: True

Explanation: The U.S. population is projected to increase from 312.2 million in 2010 to 400.9 million in 2050.33 For this four-decade period, that is an increase of 28% at an average annual rate of 0.6%. The anticipated annual rate of growth in the U.S. population is significantly slower than in the past. In the six decades from 1950 to 2010, the U.S. population had increased from 157.8 million to 312.2 million, a total gain of 98% at an average annual rate of 1.1%. Thus, the projected annual rate of growth in the U.S. population is only about half the rate of growth experienced in the recent past. The projected slowdown in population growth is even sharper in the world overall. From 1950 to 2010, the world population increased from 2.5 billion to 6.9 billion, or by 174%. The average annual rate of growth—1.7%—was much higher than in the U.S. In the future, the global population is expected to increase from 6.9 billion in 2010 to 9.6 billion in 2050, or by 38%. The average annual rate of growth—0.8%—is only slightly higher than the rate projected for the U.S.

Which of the following represents the number of premolars in deciduous dentition of teeth in humans?

hammer [34]

The correct answer is E. 0

Explanation:

The deciduous dentition or baby teeth refer to the first set of teeth human have before the permanent teeth, these teeth are prevalent during infancy and include 20 teeth: 4 central incisors, 4 lateral incisors, 4 canines and 8 molars divided into 4 primary molars and 4 secondary ones. In the case of premolars, these are part of permanent teeth but not of deciduous teeth as they only appear after deciduous teeth begin being replaced and these replace the molars in deciduous dentition. Thus, the number of premolars in deciduous dentition in humans is 0.

List the functions of proteins in the text area below.

Wittaler [7]

Answer: 1- Maintenance of oncotic pressure: prot. are macromolecules that hydrate in the plasma and exert a PO retaining water in the vascular medium, all prot. mainly albumin

2- Buffer role: all prot. Plasma acts as a buffer because of their hydrophobic character thus participating in the regulation of acid-base balance

3- Transport function Albumin.Tyroxine binding protein (TBP), transferrin, apoproteins..etc.

4- Enzymes and coenzymes: renin, orosomucoid (coenzymes of LPL)

5- Role in coagulation and fibrinolysis: fibrinogen, thrombin. antithrombin

6- Role in immunity: Ig (lgA JgG.lgM) and complement proteins

7- Role in the allergic: IgE and complement fractions

8- Role in inflammation: α1 antitrypsin, orosomucoides .cerulioplasmin, cytokines, CRP

9- Hormonal role: insulin, glucagon, pituitary stimulins (TSH, FSH, LH)

10- And finally a structural role (such as actin or tubulin that participate in the architecture of the cell, the keratin that makes
