Answer: adaptive immune response

Explanation:

Autoimmune disorders are caused by different microoorganism and drug which manipulates the immune system in a way that immune system become unable to recognise between self antigen and foreign antigen. In that case immune system treats foreign antigen as self antigen which cause systemic or organ specific damage.

The exact cause of autoimmune disorders is unknown and hence it is  thought that it is caused by adaptive immune response which builds against self antigens and causes damage to the cells.

Hence, some autoimmune disorders are thought to be caused by adaptive immune response.

Is there a human carrying capacity on Earth? Explain why or why not.
ira [324]

Answer: Every species has a carrying capacity, even humans. However, it is very difficult for ecologists to calculate human carrying capacity. Humans are a complex species. We do not reproduce, consume resources, and interact with our living environment uniformly.

Under the influence of antidiuretic hormone (adh), _____ is produced. under the influence of antidiuretic hormone (adh), _____ i
leva [86]
I think under the influence of Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), more concentrated urine is produced. Antidiuretic hormone also called vasopressin acts to maintain blood pressure, blood volume and tissue water content by controlling the amount of water and hence the concentration of urine excreted by the kidney increases. It also helps to control blood pressure by acting on the kidneys and the blood vessels.
