Hello! I figured your question was lacking its options so I went online to find them and here they are:
A. Activated platelets release chemicals that inhibit blood clot formation.
B. Activated platelets release signaling molecules that inhibit cell division in damaged tissue.
C. Activated platelets constrict the blood vessels, stopping blood flow.
D. Activated platelets release chemicals that activate more platelets.
Answer:
The correct answer is: D) Activated platelets release chemicals that activate more platelets.
Explanation:
<u>Positive feedback</u><u> is a mechanism in which a stimulus triggers an intensification of this same stimulus.</u>
When a tissue is damaged, the platelets participate in a process called platelet adhesion that consists of contacting and sticking to the collagen fibers of the connective tissue under the damaged endothelial cells. This platelet adhesion <u>activates</u> the platelets and makes them grow projections to contact and interact with one another, while releasing substances to activate other nearby platelets. The accumulation and the attachment of large numbers of platelets ultimately form a <u>platelet plug</u>.
Answer: Genetic engineering has many applications to medicine that include the manufacturing of drugs, creation of model animals that mimic human conditions and gene therapy.
Explanation:
Answer:
A. Botulinum toxin possesses a heavy chain and a light chain, each of which takes part in the toxicity. The binding of the protein and its invasion within a nerve cell is permitted by the heavy chain. After the entry is permitted, the light chain functions like a protease and chops proteins, which would usually permit neurotransmitters to discharge out from the cell. This is basically a commotion of exocytosis or the discharging of neurotransmitters.
The acetylcholine, that is, the obstructed neurotransmitter generally conducts a nerve impulse to a muscle, allowing the muscle to contract. By inhibiting the neurotransmitter, the botulinum toxin results in its distinctive flaccid paralysis.
B. The small doses of the sterile, purified botulinum toxin when used in a medical setting as an injectable form prevent the release of a chemical known as acetylcholine by the nerve cells, which signal contraction of the muscles. By selectively interfering with the underlying tendency of the muscles to contract, the prevailing frown lines are smoothed out, and in the majority of the cases are almost invisible for a week.
