Katyanochek1 [597]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The hair is made up of 95% keratin, a fibrous, helicoidal protein (shaped like a helix) that forms part of the skin and all its appendages (body hair, nails, etc.). Keratin is synthesized by keratinocytes and is insoluble in water, thus ensuring impermeability and protection for the hair.

Description of a blue shark
Westkost [7]

The aerodynamic shape and lightness of the blue shark body allow it to move “elegantly” across the oceans. It exhibits countershading like many other sharks. The upper part is an indigo blue tone while the ventral and the sides are white.

It has a long caudal heterocercal fin. The second dorsal fin measures almost half the size of the first and its pectoral fins are unusually long compared to other sharks. Its eyes are large, its teeth are triangular, and it has a conical snout.

It reaches a length ranging from 3.8 to 4 meters and weighs about 240 kilograms. This species presents slight sexual dimorphism since the female tends to measure little more than 1 meter in comparison with the male.

Answer:

The correct option is: <em>a deficiency of dopamine in the substantia nigra.</em>

Explanation:

The substantia nigra is the principal site involved in the physiopathology of Parkinson´s disease.

Cells from this area degenerate and die progressively causing important degeneration in the central nervous system. The cells that die -with no known reason- are those that produce dopamine and proportionate dopaminergic innervation to the encephalon. In fact, almost all the symptoms exhibited by patients with the disease can be explained by the lack of dopamine in the substantia nigra.  

This area uses the neurotransmitter to communicate neurons from the base ganglia. Ganglia are responsible of modulating and modifying movements.

The nigrostriatal system participates in planning and automatic execution of learned movements. When the ganglia activity decreases, so it does the amount and velocity of movements, something typical of the disease.
