Explanation:
Cell-mediated immunity is primarily driven by mature T cells, macrophages, and the release of cytokines in response to an antigen. T cells involved in cell-mediated immunity rely on antigen-presenting cells that contain membrane-bound MHC class I proteins in order to recognize intracellular target antigens.
I'm pretty sure the answer is: B. Sickle-cell disease
Answer:
On a weather map, a warm front is usually drawn using a solid red line with half circles pointing in the direction of the cold air that will be replaced. Warm fronts usually move from southwest to northeast. ... A cold front is the transition area where a mass of cold air moves in to replace a mass of warm air.
Explanation:
Lichens and mosses are usually the pioneer plants that are found on barren lands. The two have the ability to survive in this kind of environment because of their minimal energy needs. When lichen and mosses died off, they are usually replaced by bigger plants because they have made the place suitable for the growth of larger plants. The dead parts of lichen and mosses decompose and turn into small particles of soil, this allow other plant species to grow in this location.
Answer:
This question includes some errors, the question should be written as:
The medulla oblongata controls the contraction and relaxation of the ______ causing the lungs to inflate and deflate during breathing.
Although there are no options, the answer is generally RESPIRATORY MUSCLES i.e. diaphragm and intercostal muscles
Explanation:
Breathing is an involuntary action required to take place in order to get oxygen into the system and carbon dioxide out of the system. However, the process of breathing is neurally controlled by brain portion called RESPIRATORY CONTROL CENTERS.
The Medulla oblongata located in the hindbrain is one of the two respiratory control centers (the other being the PONS). The medulla sends nerve signals to the muscles responsible for bringing about the ventilation process i.e. the DIAPHRAGM and INTERCOSTAL MUSCLES.
This nerve impulse brings about the contraction of the diaphragm, which is the major respiratory muscle, and intercostal muscle causing the lungs to inflate and allow the entry of oxygen-containing air. On the other hand, it also brings about the relaxation of these muscles causing the lungs to deflate allowing the expelling of air.
