Answer:

Density is nearly 3 cabs per hectare

Explanation:

Given -

There are three three intertidal regions.

Area of each intertidal region is 2 hectares.

Number of crab in the intertidal regions are as follows -

Intertidal region I - 7

Intertidal region I - 2

Intertidal region I - 6

Sum of crabs in all three regions is equal to

7 + 2+ 6\\= 15

Total area of all three intertidal regions is equal to

2 + 2+ 2\\= 6 hectares

Now density per hectare is equal to total population of crab divided by total area of all the three intertidal regions

Density = \frac{15}{6} \\= 2.5

Density is nearly 3 cabs per hectare

Degeneration of the dopamine-releasing neurons of the ________ is the ultimate cause of Parkinson's disease. Degeneration of the
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

a. substantia nigra

b. substantia nigra (it is repeated)

Explanation:

Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disease that is caused by the death of neurons that release the neurotransmitter dopamine in the <u>substantia nigra</u>, or locus niger, -a region of the brain that regulates brain circuits that give the 'orders' to initiate voluntary movements- .

The lack of this neurotransmitter leads to the occurrence of the main symptoms suffered by patients: decreased movements, muscle stiffness, postural instability and tremor. These failures are generated by the abnormal way in which neurons work in the absence of dopamine through a mechanism that is not known in depth.

It is the second most frequent neurodegenerative disease, after Alzheimer's disease, with a prevalence of 2% in people over 65 years. The characteristic symptoms of stiffness, bradykinesia and tremor are associated with losses of neurons in the substantia nigra and dopamine depletion in the striatum. There are large cytoplasmic inclusions, called Lewy bodies, which are the pathological mark of the disease and appear predominantly in neurons that contain melanin of the nigra substance. Genetic studies in a subgroup of families with Parkinson's disease with autosomal dominant inheritance found a locus on chromosome 4q-21 23 and a mutation in the gene that encodes a synaptic protein, α-synuclein.
