Most cacti have extensive, but shallow root systems that allow them to soak up any rainfall that may come their way. specialized stems allow cacti to store water for a long time since rainfall is often sporadic in the desserts.<span />

Which structures are highlighted? Which structures are highlighted? duodenal glands Peyer's patches (aggregated lymphoid nodules
lilavasa [31]

Answer: (<u>Note</u>: You will find the image with the highlighted structure in the attached file)

Peyer's patches (aggregated lymphoid nodules)

Explanation:

Peyer's patches are anatomical regions located under the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract, specifically in the lamina propria of the thin intestine. These patches are nodules or cumulus of lymphatic tissue and other accessory cells, and this is why they represent a huge part of the mucosa´s immunity system.

Peyer's patches belong to the group of lymphoid tissue associated with the intestine, composed of lymphoid follicles distributed along the gastrointestinal tract.

A lymphoid follicle is a cumulus or aggregate of lymphoid cells that do not have a well-defined structure nor organization. In general, these follicles are isolated from each other in the intestine. But in the terminal ileum (The last portion of the thin intestine) they get so close that they might form a plaque.  The Peyer´s patches are formed principally by lymphocytes B that synthesize immunoglobulin A, which has an important role in immunity.

Moose make mating calls to locate potential mates
Bingel [31]
<span>Moose are generally docile towards humans, but may become more aggressive during the mating season of September through October.The name "moose" comes from the Native American word "Moswa," which translates to "twig eater."On average, moose live 10 to 15 years in the wild. Moose are considered fully mature at 4 to 5 years of age.Moose are remarkably agile for their size, capable of running at speeds of up to 35 miles per hour.Moose are capable of swimming up to 10 miles without stopping.Moose are unlike many other deer species in that they are mostly solitary animals. However, strong bonds exist between mothers and calves.The moose population in North America is estimated to be fewer than 1.5 million, with 1 million in Canada alone. Up to 200,000 are estimated to live in Alaska.Moose are herbivores, and eat a large amount of terrestrial vegetation, but they also must need to consume a good amount of aquatic plants which provide moose with sodium.Moose must consume 9770 calories per day to maintain their body weight.A moose will eat up to 70.5 pounds of food a day.If a bull moose is castrated, he will shed his current set of antlers and grow new, deformed and misshapen antlers which will never be shed again. These antlers are often called "devil's antlers" and are the source of several Native American myths. In rare cases, cow moose may grow antlers due to a hormone imbalance.Because of their heavy bodies suspended by spindly legs, moose are especially dangerous when hit by passenger cars. If you are driving in an area where moose are plentiful, use caution and pay attention at all times.<span>Moose antlers may weigh up to 70 pounds, and measure 6 feet across.</span></span>
