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.

olga2289 [7]

The long bundle of neurons that carries messages to and from the body to the brain and is responsible for very fast, lifesaving reflexes is called the<u> spinal cord. </u>

<h3>What is the espinal cord?</h3>

There are two organs involved in the central nervous system that function as control centers,

  • The brain,
  • The spinal cord.

The spinal cord is a nerve tube placed in a hollow space left between vertebras along the vertebral column. The vertebrae's body protects the spinal cord.

It is made of nerves that take orders from the brain to the rest of the body and send messages from the body to the brain.  

Reflexes acts are produced in the medulla, and the brain is not involved.

The nervous cells of the medulla have fibers that extend from the medulla to the body and are connected to sensory receptors.

When receptors receive stimuli, they send information to the nerve fibers, which take it to the brain. From the brain, they send a response.

The answer is spinal cord.

alex41 [277]

Answer:

r-selected species (e.g., American bullfrog)

Explanation:

The r-selected species (r-strategists) are those species in which their populations oscillate near the carrying capacity, i.e., the maximum population size sustained by a particular environment. These species are generally located in low-quality (less competitive) ecological niches and produce many offsprings that grow rapidly and have low chances of surviving to adulthood. Some examples of r-strategists include amphibians, fish, small mammals, etc. Conversely, K-selected species have more stable populations and produce a low amount of offspring (e.g., large mammals such as elephants).
