Question 1:
<u>Answer</u>:
The "first line of defence" in innate immunity is "Physical and chemical barriers".
<u>Explanation</u>
"Physical and chemical barriers" is first line of defence includes that are ready to defend the living organism's body from infection at any time . These barriers include your skin, cilia, tears, urine flow, mucus, stomach acid, friendly bacteria and white blood cells . Skin acts as a mechanical barrier as it does not allows all the organism to pass through it unless the skin is cut or open. Similarly mouth eyes, and nose are also the ways through with the disease causing organism can enter the body. The micro-organisms that entered through these pathways are trapped either in saliva or mucus and swallowed and later either killed in the stomach or flushed out via the urine. If this first line of defence is broken or damaged, the second line of defence inside our body will be activated.
Question 2:
<u>Answer:</u>
Histamine kinins, and interleukins are examples of inflammatory mediators.
<u>Explanation</u>:
Inflammatory mediators are identified in inflammatory bowel disease IBD.These mediators play an vital role in the clinical and pathologic characteristics of the disorders. Cytokines, that are released by macrophages in due to antigenic stimuli, are binded different receptors and produce endocrine, autocrine and paracrine effects. Interleukins are a subset of a large group of 'cellular messenger molecules' called cytokines that modulates the cellular behaviour. Interleukins are not stored within cells like cytokines but they are released immediately, in response to a stimulus. Once an interleukin has been secreted, it moves to the target cell and binds to it through a receptor molecule on the surface of the cell . This interaction triggers a sequence of signals in the target cell that ultimately leads to the alteration in the behaviour of the cell.
Answer: Earthworms and gorillas.
Explanation:
Paramecia and salamanders. Ask the students to list as many features as they can think of that their two organisms have in common.
These are sensor, registry and short-term memory.
Deer is the answer, it is quick and has camouflage
The correct answer is: D) Binding of the neurotransmitter causes chemically gated sodium channels to open in the motor end plate (junctional folds of the sarcolemma) and sodium enters the cell.
The motor neuron cell is connected to muscle cell via synaptic cleft, where neurotransmitter is released. The muscle side of this synapse is called motor end plate. Released neurotransmitter is acetylcholine and it binds to its receptor (ACh receptor) on the motor end plate. As it binds, ion channels open, and Na+ gets into the muscle cell. This event reduces the voltage difference between the inside and outside of the cell and causes depolarization which creates a wave through the entire muscle cell (its membrane-sarcolema). As a consequence, Ca2+ is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum which will cause the contraction of the muscle cell.
