Answer:

This question includes some errors, the question should be written as:

The medulla oblongata controls the contraction and relaxation of the ______ causing the lungs to inflate and deflate during breathing.

Although there are no options, the answer is generally RESPIRATORY MUSCLES i.e. diaphragm and intercostal muscles

Explanation:

Breathing is an involuntary action required to take place in order to get oxygen into the system and carbon dioxide out of the system. However, the process of breathing is neurally controlled by brain portion called RESPIRATORY CONTROL CENTERS.

The Medulla oblongata located in the hindbrain is one of the two respiratory control centers (the other being the PONS). The medulla sends nerve signals to the muscles responsible for bringing about the ventilation process i.e. the DIAPHRAGM and INTERCOSTAL MUSCLES.

This nerve impulse brings about the contraction of the diaphragm, which is the major respiratory muscle, and intercostal muscle causing the lungs to inflate and allow the entry of oxygen-containing air. On the other hand, it also brings about the relaxation of these muscles causing the lungs to deflate allowing the expelling of air.

How does blood defend against pathogens and toxins
Darina [25.2K]

Blood carries immune system cells, known as white cells or leukocytes. Some examples of white cells are phagocytes and lymphocytes.

Phagocytes ingest and dissolve pathogens, as well as strange particles or dying cells.

Lymphocytes are divided into T cells, B cells, and natural killer cells (NK). B cells produce antibodies to respond to foreign cells, T cells attack pathogens using enzymes and other non-antibodies responses, while NK cells combat tumors and cells infected by viruses.

Define los tipos de proteínas que conforman la membrana
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Membrane proteins can be classified into two broad categories—integral (intrinsic) and peripheral (extrinsic)—based on the nature of the membrane-protein interactions (see Figure 3-32). Most biomembranes contain both types of membrane proteins.

Translate:

Las proteínas de membrana se pueden clasificar en dos categorías amplias: integrales (intrínsecas) y periféricas (extrínsecas), según la naturaleza de las interacciones membrana-proteína (véase la figura 3-32). La mayoría de las biomembranas contienen ambos tipos de proteínas de membrana.
