Explain the difference between an infection caused by a fungus and an allergy caused by a fungus

Re-posting some old information I found on this website

<span>When a fungus infects a body, it attacks the host by destroying and often taking over cells. When a person has an allergic reaction (to anything) the substance triggers the body to send histamines and excess water to the affected area, swelling and closing the area to prevent infection. - Answer Provided by ChaoticPiece</span>

How do bogs keep themselves cool
dsp73

Answer: Like humans, dogs need to keep themselves cool to protect their bodies. They do sweat, but not in the same way. They only have sweat glands only on the paw pads and nose leather. Since they are covered with fur, it is more challenging to keep their bodies cool.

After your dog runs around, you will notice that he begins to pant heavily. Dogs rely on panting to keep their bodies cool. Panting causes the evaporation of water from the nasal cavity, tongue, throat and lungs, which helps lower their body temperature.

They also experience the same dilation in blood vessels as humans, which brings blood to the surface of the skin, allowing the air in the environment to cool them.

Any dog is at risk for heat-related problems, especially in warm, humid weather. Our brachycephalic friends are at a much greater risk than their long-nosed counterparts. Large breeds with thick coats, such as Bernese Mountain dogs or Pyrenees are also more prone. Dogs with pre-existing heart conditions or respiratory issues are also more likely to be overcome by the heat.

When these dogs pant to try and cool themselves, they have to work harder to do so. This only raises their body temperature even higher, making it worse instead of better.

When the head is tilted, what are the structures the signal passes through on its way to becoming a fully processed neural signa
Ann [662]

Answer:

The fluid within the semicircular ducts of the inner ear, that is, endolymph moves when the head is tilted. The precise position of the stimulated cells relies upon the plane of movement with each vertical or horizontal plane being signified by distinct parts of its composition. The hair cells that transduce the signal into an electrical signal get stimulated due to the movement of fluid. The conduction of this signal takes place via the auditory nerve to the cochlear nucleus of the brainstem.

Within the inner ear cochlea, the stimulation of the hair cells or stereocilia takes place by endolymph, it is a fluid present in semicircular ducts. After stimulation, the hair cells mediate electric signals to the brain via the auditory nerve, these are the nerve bundles that carry signals of sound. The initial central auditory composition found in the brainstem is the Cochlea nucleus.

Fiesta28 [93]
As the peppered moth evolved over time, its wings  changed from light to dark so that it could better hide from predators. The evolution of peppered moth is used an example of natural selection. The evolution of the peppered moth over the last two hundred years has been studied in detail. Originally, the vast majority of peppered moths had light coloration, which effectively camouflaged them against the light-colored trees and lichens which they rested upon. However, because of the wide spread pollution during the Industrial revolution in England, many of the lichens died out, and the trees that peppered moths, or typica, to die off from predation. At the same time, the dark-colored, or melanic, moths, carbonaria, flourished because of their ability to hide on the darkened trees.
