ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Even though Gabe's hand are covered in gloves, the fact that he has touched raw chicken and then used the same gloves to touch cooked chicken will definitely lead to cross-contamination, a process of bacteria or other micro-organism transferring from one object to another.

I will immediately stop Gabe from serving the chicken, and then request the patience of the customer, as our goal is to ensure that we provide customers with the best possible meal, without any form of contamination.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE JUST HELP!!!
Arturiano [62]

-The spinal cord functions primarily in the transmission of nerve signals from the motor cortex to the body, and from the afferent fibers of the sensory neurons to the sensory cortex. It is also a center for coordinating many reflexes and contains reflex arcs that can independently control reflexes.

-The medulla oblongata helps regulate breathing, heart and blood vessel function, digestion, sneezing, and swallowing. This part of the brain is a center for respiration and circulation. Sensory and motor neurons (nerve cells) from the forebrain and midbrain travel through the medulla.

-Corpus callosum/the corpus callosum consists of about 200 millon axons that interconnect the two hemispheres. The primary function of the corpus callosum is to integrate motor, sensory, and cognitive performances between the cerebral cortex on one side of the brain to the same region on the other side.

-The cerebellum receives information from the sensory systems, the spinal cord, and other parts of the brain and then regulates motor movements. The cerebellum coordinates voluntary movements such as posture, balance, coordination, and speech, resulting in smooth and balanced muscular activity.

-In normal brain function, convolutions, the deep fissures of the brain, increase the overall surface area, one of the primary determinants for intelligence.

Hope this helps! please mark brainliest if it does!
