If a person was born without eccrine glands, what skin function would he or she have a hard time completing?

2 answers:

7 0

Sweat is used for thermoregulation. As sweat is released onto the surface of the epidermis, heat from the body is conducted into the water. Water is a better conductor of heat than air is. As the sweat evaporates, the heat from the body dissipates into the environment.

Eccrine glands are sweat glands and maintains body temperature. In their absence body face difficulty in thermoregulation.

Further explanation

Sweat glands

They are coiled tubes of epidermal origin, though they lie in the layer of skin. Lumen or central space is surrounded by secretory cells. into which the secretion is extruded. Sweat glands can be of various types.

Function of sweat glands

They play a vital role in the regulation of body temperature. They secrete electrolytes and water from body through skin.

Types of sweat glands

Eccrine glands
Apocrine glands

Eccrine glands and their function

Eccrine glands are also called merocrine glands. They are the real sweat glands of the human body, found in all over the skin, with the most elevated thickness in palm and soles, at that point on the head, yet substantially less on the storage compartment and the limits. In different vertebrates, they are generally inadequate, being discovered for the most part on bare territories, for example, foot pads. They arrive at peak of advancement in people, where they may number 200–400/cm² of skin surface. They produce a reasonable, scentless substance, sweat, comprising principally of water.

Leishmania is a protozoal parasite are transmitted by the bite of infected female sandflies. they are then phagocytized and live

qaws [65]

The answer is macrophages. They either actively invade these leukocytes or are phagocytosed, divide in the cells and cause lysis. The promastigotes that invade these leucocytes are transformed into amastigotes in the macrophages. These amastigotes continue attacking other healthy macrophages while others migrate to the mid gut.

As water enters this plant cell structure, the cell becomes more turgid. This plant cell structure is the A) vacuole. B) cytopla

rjkz [21]

<span>The plant cell structure that makes the cell become turgin once water enters it is known as A. vacuole. It is a part of a cell that resembles a bubble and where food and water are stored so that the plant can use them and turn them into oxygen. So obviously, when there is water in vacuoles, they become bigger, so the plant becomes turgid, which means that it becomes swollen, swells up.</span>

The ABO blood group assorts independently of the Rhesus (Rh) blood group and the MN blood group. Three alleles, IA , IB , and i,

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Part 1:

The mother’s genotype is ii, rr, MN

The father’s genotype is IAIA/IAi, Rr, MM

Part 2:

Approximately 1/32 (3.125%) of children can be expected to have the stated blood types.

Explanation:

Part 1:

The mother has blood types 0, Rh- and MN. Therefore, her genotype has to be ii, rr, MN.

The father has ABO type A. His ABO genotype may therefore be either IAIA or IAi, as both are compatible with type A offspring with a type 0 mother. His Rh genotype must be rr, since his Rh- child necessarily has to have inherited one r allele from each parent. Finally, his MN genotype has to be MM since both alleles are codominant.

Part 2:

Using the given data, we build the following Punnett chart:

IA R N IA r N i R N i r N

IA R M

IA R N

IA r M

IA r N

IB R M

IB R N

IB r M X

IB r N

Note that, of all 32 possible combinations, only a single one of them (marked with “X” produces a genotype which matches the desired blood type, as follows:

genotype: IBi, rr, MN

blood type: B, Rh-, MN

Kyle concludes that the cell must be a plant cell. How does Kyle know that the cell is a plant cell and not an animal cell?

Mnenie [13.5K]

Kile should know the answer because of the morphology (part of biology that studies the estructure and the form of something). The plant cell presents a rectangular form, while the animal's cells presents a round form.

There are other main differences. As their parts and the size. Before I explain that remember that a cell can be of two types eukaryotic (cell with nucleus) and prokaryote (cell with no nucleus). In the other they can be neurons, nefrons, etc...

The plant cell contains for example chloroplasts, cell wall and vascuoles; while animal's don't. Both of them have nucleus, cell plants are generally larger than animals. Those are the main differences.

Thankyou.

Sorry for my bad english, It's not my native language.
