This could be due to a malfunction of her thymus.

The thymus is a soft triangular shaped organ that is situated in the mediastinum of the thoracic cavity. The thymus is the predominant donor of cells for the lymphatic system. The thymus performs an important role in the training and growth of T cells (thymus-derived cells) that are produced in the red bone marrow. The T cells defend the body by destroying infected or cancerous cells and harmful pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The thymus also helps in the proper growth of other organs within the immune system.

Brain, spinal cord, nerves

The brain controls thought, behavior, emotion, memory, and basic life functions. The brain is also the origin of control over body movement. The spinal cord connects the peripheral nervous system (PNS) to the brain; nerve impulses reaching the spinal cord through sensory neurons are transmitted up into the brain. Nerves primarily involve control and coordination of all parts of the body.

The nervous system interacts with every other organ system. For example the hypothalamus in the brain controls the pituitary gland and tells it when to produce hormones, this shows that the nervous system interacts with the endocrine system.

Hope this helps :)

At which type of tectonic plate boundary is a volcano least likely to occur?
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Hotspot

Explanation:

Volcanoes can form in three different places: a convergent boundary, a divergent boundary, or a hot spot.

-At a convergent plate boundary, two plates collide and form a subduction zone. In the subduction zone, the denser, heavier plate goes below the more buoyant plate. The plate that goes under is subjected to immense heat and pressure and melts to form magma. This magma is less dense than the surrounding solid rock and rises to the surface through cracks in the plates to form a volcano.

- Volcanoes will form along divergent plate boundaries. A divergent boundary is when the plates move apart from each other. When the plates part, magma from under either plate rises and forms a volcano.

-A hotspot is the third place a volcano can form. This particular type is the least common. Hot spots are when thermal plumes from deep in the Earth rises. This heat, combined with the lower pressure at the bottom of the lithosphere, causes magma to form. The magma, as we discussed, is less dense than the surrounding solid crust and rises to the surface through cracks and channels and then erupts at the surface to form a volcano.
