the first cells likely to encounter a pathogen, such as phagocytes, are professional antigen presenting cells (apcs). this means
Zepler [3.9K]

Professional antigen-presenting cells, such as phagocytes, are the first cells to encounter a pathogen (apcs). This means they have the ability to activate cells of the adaptive immune system.

<h3>What is meant by Pathogen?</h3>
  • A pathogen is an organism that infects its host with disease, and the severity of the disease symptoms is referred to as virulence.
  • Pathogens include viruses, bacteria, unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes, and a wide range of other organisms.
  • The bone marrow of an average healthy adult generates 100 billion new neutrophils per day. Because there are so many neutrophils in the body at any given time, they are often the first cells to reach the site of an infection.
  • Long thought to be a component of the innate immune system, complement has recently emerged as an important regulator of the adaptive immune response.

Therefore the correct option is D)  can activate cells of the adaptive immune system.

Which class of enzymes catalyzes reactions involving the formation of double bonds?
vodka [1.7K]

Lyases

Lyases are class of enzymes that catalyzes reactions involving the formation of double bonds.

Lyases are class of enzymes that catalyzes the joining of C-C ( carbon to carbon), C-O (carbon to oxygen), and C-N (carbon to nitrogen) bonds by hydrolysis or oxidation. These bonds are usually held by the process of elimination which leads to the formation of new double bonds or cyclical molecules. Examples of lyases include; aldolase and adenylate cyclase.

g Cerebrospinal fluid formed in the lateral ventricles travels through the ________ to reach the third ventricle.
kolezko [41]

Answer: Interventricular foramen

Explanation:

<u>The cerebrospinal fluid is a fluid that covers the brain and spinal cord. It circulates through the subarachnoid space, the cerebral ventricles and the ependymal canal</u>. Several diseases alter its composition and its study usually detects meningeal infections, carcinomatosis and hemorrhages. Some of its functions are:

  • Hydropneumatic support against local pressure for the encephalon.
  • Eliminates metabolites from the central nervous system.
  • Protects the central nervous system from trauma.

This fluid also fills the ventricles, which are large open structures deep within the brain and help keep the brain buoyant and cushioned. The lateral ventricles are the largest ventricles and connect to the third ventricle through the intraventricular foramen. This third ventricle is a narrow, medial cavity located between the diencephalic masses. <u>Then, the interventricular foramina are channels that connect with the ventricles of the lateral walls and with the third ventricle</u>, at the level of the midline of the brain. Like these channels, they allow cerebrospinal fluid to circulate through the rest of the ventricular system of the brain. The walls of the foramina also contain choroid plexuses, responsible for the production of cerebrospinal fluid, which continue in both the lateral ventricles and the third ventricle. After reaching the third ventricle, the cerebrospinal fluid travels through the median aperture into the subarachnoid space at the base of the brain.
