Answer:

The correct answer is option 5) "both resident microbiota and opportunistic pathogen".

Explanation:

Resident microbiota are considered all the bacteria that is within the human body of healthy people. Since Staphylococcus aureus is found at the nasal cavity of healthy people is considered part of the resident microbiota. Staphylococcus aureus is also an opportunistic pathogen, because it takes advantage of an unusual opportunity to infect. This opportunity could be to be inhaled into the lungs, or that its host gets immunologically repressed.

Neurons are cells of the nervous system that aid the flow of impulses or information to and from the CNS. The major neurons include the sensory neuron, motor neuron and the relay neurons. It comprises of various parts that aid its function of carrying information namely, axon, dendrites, cell body (soma), myelin sheath. Information is picked up from the dendrites and then transferred to the cell body through action potentials. Then from the cell body the information is taken to the axon which then goes to the pre-synaptic terminal that sends the information to the next neuron which will then repeat the same flow of information.

Most of the joints in the appendicular skeleton are __________ joints.
Semmy [17]

Most of the joints in the appendicular skeleton are synovial joints.

So, the correct option is (c).

  • A joint, sometimes referred to as an articulation, is where two or more bones come together. The names of two bones are included in each articulation.
  •  Immobile joints are ones that do not permit movement at the joint sites .These joints don't have a joint cavity; instead, dense fibrous connective tissue, typically collagen, holds the bones physically together.
  • A synovial membrane-lined joint capsule that produces synovial fluid surrounds and protects the two of them.
  • Specialized joints known as cartilaginous joints can be identified by their structural characteristics.
  • In fibrous joints, white connective tissue  fibres that travel from one articulating portion to the next separate the articulating parts.
