1) It fights infection. Lymphocytes produced in the spleen fight disease causing pathogens. 2) It also filters aged erythrocytes, platelets and blood-borne antigens.

When growing cultures, the agar is ________ to separate pathogenic colonies of organisms from colonies of normal flora.
Anettt [7]

When growing cultures, the agar is<u> inoculated</u> to separate pathogenic colonies of organisms from colonies of normal flora.

Agar is the medium that is used for growing natural, common flora of microorganisms as the majority of the microorganisms can sustain in the agar medium.

If we want to determine a separate pathogenic colony of organisms in an agar medium then we need to inoculate the agar growth medium so that the pathogenic organism is separated from the normal flora of the microorganism. This technique allows us to filter out the cells that have the pathogenic microorganism in it.

Smooth muscles depolarize as a result of a transmembrane current of ________. smooth muscles depolarize as a result of a transme
Oksana_A [137]
Smooth muscles depolarize as a result of a transmembrane current of Calcium ions.                                                                                                                       When an action potential depolarizes the muscle cell membrane, it also travels into the body of the cell via the t-tubules. Unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle is dependent in two sources of calcium in order to intiate contraction. These two sources are calcium sequestered in the S.R. of the smooth muscle cell.
