Biology

Aloiza [94]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The water balance is the relation or balance between the amount of water entering the organism by intake liquids and food and the total output or loss of water lost from the body by different ways such as the kidneys, lungs, bowels, and skin.

Other than water there is the constant input of electrolytes also occurs into the system. Osmotic pressure and the process of osmosis help in ensuring that optimal concentrations of electrolytes and non-electrolytes are maintained in the cells. The excess water or electrolytes, move out of the cells by the osmosis through the semi-permeable membrane that is the cell membrane here.

Whats are the functions of the integumentary system ?
Verdich [7]

Answer:

Absorption

Thousands of pores on the surface of the skin can absorb vitamins, acids, water and oxygen in order to provide moisture and nourishment to our skin.

Excretion

The skin is the body’s largest waste removal system. Toxins are released through the sweat glands and pores.

Secretion

The skin secretes sebum, a mixture of oils that keeps the skin soft and supple. The layer of sebum on the outermost layer of the skin is known as the acid mantle. When intact the acid mantle has a PH that ranges from 4.5-5.5. The acid mantle is acidic in nature to protect the skin from outside invasion.

Regulation

The skin regulates the body’s temperature by sweating; when water from sweat on the skin evaporates it gives off heat and cools the body.  The body’s temperature increases or by shivering or getting goosebumps when the body is cold. The contraction of muscles releases energy that warms the body.

Sensation

The skin contains millions of nerve endings that transport stimuli. These nerve endings allow humans to detect sensation such as heat, cold, pain and pressure.

Which statement is not correct about the antibodies?
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

b. They are produced by memory B cells

Explanation:

The rapid cell division in activated B cells is followed by the differentiation of daughter cells into the plasma cells. The plasma cells are the precursor for antibodies and memory B cells. The antibodies kill the antigens while memory B cells are long-lived cells.  

Hence, antibodies are not produced by memory B cells but by plasma cells.
