A child is prescribed hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for severe combined immunodeficiency disease. what is administered

to the child to improve the humoral immunity until the transplant is performed?

The child is administered to use Intravenous immunoglobulin and Pneumocystis caranii pneumonia or PCP prophylaxis. These are used to improve humoral immunity in the child until the time when the transplant is performed.
The child is not recommended to use influenza vaccine in immunodeficiency disease reason being the possibility of acquiring influenza which is severe.
Again the child is not recommended to use varicella vaccine because it can lead to a risk of acquiring chicken pox.
For a child with PCP, we use Dapsone.

The hypothalamus __________. The hypothalamus __________. influences the function of only one lobe of the pituitary gland synthe
Morgarella [4.7K]

Correct question:

The hypothalamus __________.

a) influences the function of only one lobe of the pituitary gland.

b) synthesizes all of the hormones produced by the pituitary gland.

c) regulates both reproduction and body temperature.

d) produces only inhibitory hormones.

Answer:

C) Regulates both reproduction and body temperature.

Explanation:

The hypothalamus is a small but important area in the center of the brain. It plays an important role in hormone production and helps to stimulate many important processes in the body and is located in the brain, between the pituitary gland and thalamus.

The hypothalamus’ main role is to keep the body in homeostasis as much as possible.

Homeostasis means a healthful, balanced bodily state.

The hypothalamus acts as the link between the endocrine and nervous systems to achieve this. It plays a part in many essential functions of the body such as: body temperature, thirst, appetite and weight control, emotions, sex drive, blood pressure and heart rate, production of digestive juices and balancing bodily fluids.

Round seeds are dominant over wrinkled seeds in
antoniya [11.8K]

Genotype - RR - 25%, Rr - 50%, rr - 25% (1:2:1)

Phenotype - Round seeds - 75%, Wrinkled seeds - 25% (3:1)

<h3>How explain your answer?</h3>

Let the letter "r" stand for the alleles, where R is round seeds and r is wrinkled seeds. A genotype is an individual's genes represented through alleles. Phenotypes are how the genes express themselves. In other words, genotypes will be written using letters, the alleles, and phenotypes will be the possible outcomes of the alleles.

Both of the parent seeds have the genotypes Rr and the phenotype of round seeds.

If you create punnet square (which had four boxes in total) 1 will have RR, 2 will have Rr, and 1 will have rr. These are the ratios for the genotypes. Each box represents 25%, so the percentages will be 25, 50, and 25. Finally, 3 of these boxes (RR and Rr) will result in round seeds because those are dominant. Only the genotype rr will result in wrinkled phenotype. Therefore, the ratio is 3:1 or 75% to 25%.

Thus, this could be the answer.

What would be the best explanation for why myelinated fibers conduct signals faster than unmyelinated fibers?
Sliva [168]

Answer: The diffusion of ions along the axoplasm is faster,in myelinated compare to unmyelinated,

Neurons are the structural and functioning units of nervous system.They are the vehicles for transmission of impulses as electrical signals from one part of the cells,and from one part of the body to another.

The basic structural components of a typical neuron are the cellbody, the axon, and the dendrites.

Based on structure neurons are classified as myelinated and unmyelinated.This is based on the the surrounding layer of myelin sheath around the axon. The myelin provides the insulating layer for the axon.And ensures fast movement of impluses.

In myelinated neurons the myelin sheath are interrupted at intervals by gaps along the length of the axon called Nodes of Ranvier. These gaps contains more Na-K channels for influx and out-flux of K and Na+ ions for transmission of impulses.

The cytoplasm of axon is called axoplasm,Since this is surrounded by myelin sheath which contains Na-K+ channels,The rate of diffusion of ions along  these channels is faster for depolarization to take place than in unmyelinated neurons. Inaddtion as these ions  diffusion increases,its jump faster at the nodes of Ranvier (saltatory conduction) to the next axoplasm which further speed up the rate of transmission.

Unmyeinated lacks myelin sheath,therefore the exchange and  the rate of diffusion of ions along the axons is low.
