<span>Your gums are also known as your gingiva.

If they erupt you can have things such as inflammation or tearing of the gum.

Furthermore, an infection can occurs if it happens for an extended period of time.
This commonly occurs in people within the age group of about 17 to 25 years old. That's why we take out our wisdom teeth.

 By the time you gain a little bit of wisdom, you start having all four of your third molars erupt right through your gingiva. You want to get them removed before you can have some type of bad reaction like inflammation or infection that can occur that can mess up the neighboring teeth that have erupted or grew out so well.</span>

dlinn [17]
Well I'm not exactly certain where the teacher is going with this, but an often used example is red blood cells (RBCs) aka: erythrocytes.
RBCs are suspended in blood plasma as they flood through vessels around and around the body, so the osmolarity (amount of small particles that affect osmosis) must remain relatively constant. This is termed "isotonic", meaning the same amount of osmosis-influencing particles that are there inside the RBCs' cytosol, within their plasma membranes.
If the plasma osmolarity get too high, called hypertonic (as with extra salt particles) then water inside the RBCs will have an osmotic force driving it out of the cells' membranes, to flow where there are more salt particles. This will lead to cell shrinkage (called "crenation").
Counter to that, if the plasma osmolarity gets too low, as due to low plasma salt with excessive water intake (for example from the condition "water intoxication"), then the plasma will be hypotonic with respect to the intracellular cytosol concentration. This can result in water rushing into the RBCs' membranes via osmosis, causing the cells to swell from discs into spheres (balls), or even rupture and burst (a phenomenon called "hemolysis").

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer: muscle contraction of sustained force resulting from repeated action potentials. (Option A)

Explanation: Tetanus is also called physiologic tetanus. Tetanus refers to the contraction of the muscle, which is established when the motor nerve that supply nerves to a skeletal muscle produces action potentials at a very high degree.

However, tetanic contraction is usually a normal process (such as when carrying a heavy box). Also, muscles can be shorten, lengthen or remain constant length during tetanic contractions.

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The frogs come from two sources, a mother and a father. The mother and the father have different genes so therefore, they are not going to look identical to one another.
