What is most likely to occur in a patient infected with a mutant strain of Bordetella pertussis that lacks functional adhesins?

Medicine
1 answer:
Nata [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Bordetella pertussis is a gram-negative coccobacillus that causes a disease called whooping cough.

The bacterium infests the patients by colonizing lung epithelial cells. To do so, it requires adhesins, called filamentous haemagglutinin, fimbriae and pertactin. Once the bacterium is attached to the lung epithelial cells, it produces a cytotoxin that prevents their cilia from moving.

Another virulent factor from B. pertussis is the pertussis toxin, which alters host immune system through the inhibition of phagocytes response to it.

Inhibin is thought to be released in response to developing sperm and is thought to:
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

A. Inhibit FSH secretion.

Explanation:

Inhibin is a hormone secreted by the granulosa cells in the ovaries of women and the Sertolli cells in men.  The main function of inhibin, as they name says, is to inhibit the secretion of FSH by the anterior pituitary gland. Inhibin is also produced by the Sertolli cells in the testes of men, and it is released in the blood when the sperm count is too high. FSH causes the Sertoli cells of the testes to begin the process of spermatogenesis in the testes. Therefore, releasing inhibin would cause a negative feedback and stop the production of sperm.

The release of neurotransmitter from a neuron is an example of:
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer: E. exocytosis and it requires expenditure of ATP

Explanation:

Neurotransmitters are molecules released by synaptic pre-neurons and are the means of communication in a chemical synapse. They bind to neurotransmitter receptors and can attach to an ion channel (ionotropic receptors) or an intracellular signaling process (metabotropic receptors). Neurotransmitters are specific for the receptor they bind to and elicit a specific response in postsynaptic neurons, resulting in an excitatory or inhibitory signal. Because exocytosis is an example of active transport, it requires expenditure of ATP.
