PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Kidneys

Explanation:

The kidneys remove wastes and excess water in the body through the urine, as urine flows from the kidneys to the bladder through two thin tubes located on both sides of the bladder called the ureter, and the bladder stores urine, and each of the kidneys consists of about one million filtering units called the renal tubular unit contains Each renal tubular unit has a filter called the glomerulus and tubule, and the renal tubular unit operates through a two-step process:

glomerulus: filters blood.  

Tubule: Returns the necessary substances to the blood and removes waste.

A word for the first settlements, formed when humans began to domesticate plants and animals
Tamiku [17]
<span>"Village" is the term used to refer to the first settlements formed as humans began domesticating plants and animals.

A village is comprised of a clustered human settlement or community, with a few hundred to a few thousand people. It is typically smaller than a town but larger than a hamlet and is usually a permanent settlement, with dwellings spaced closely from each other. The surrounding lands were usually farmed, but in the case of traditional fishing villages, they were located adjacent to fishing grounds as well. </span>

Is blood clotting an example of a positive or negative feedback mechanism? Explain your answer based on the description of the m
serg [7]

Answer:

Blood clothing is an example of positive feedback.

This type of feedback mechanism is useful to the body because it multiplies the factor that intervenes in clotting accelerating the process.

If a toxin affects the molecules that signal for platelets the feedback will not be effective enough to produce clotting and the body will keep bleeding.

Explanation:

Blood clotting is an example of positive feedback due to the fact that when the vascular endothelium is damaged  platelets will go to this area and activate themselves once they are in contact with the collagen fibers of the damaged structure. When the platelets are activated they will release the contents that is stored in their granules. One of the contents is a Gq-linked protein receptor cascade,  that will increase the concentration of calcium in the platelets. Calcium activates protein kinase C, which, in turn, activates phospholipase A2 (PLA2). PLA2  will modifies  an  integrin membrane  increasing its affinity to bind fibrinogen. The activated platelets change their  shape , and the fibrinogen cross-links with the integrin membrane aiding  in  the aggregation of adjacent platelets. After this the coagulation cascade takes place. there are two pathways the extrinsic  and the extrinsic one.

The extrinsic pathway will be activated due to tissular factor released  by the platelets and the intrinsic pathway will be activated due to endothelial collagen. The final product of both pathways is factor x.

Factor x will transform prothrombin into thrombin will activate the conversion of fibrinogen into fibrin. Thrombin will form a net of fibrin that will the clot.

A cascade reaction is useful because every component of the cascade are related making a quick reaction once that one of then is activated and can activate other or more factors.

If a toxin affects the molecules that signals for platelets, platelets will not go to the damaged area and in consequence there will not be thrombin and fibrin to form the clot together with platelets.
