Answer:

A

Explanation:

Botulism and tetanus are both serious neurological infectious diseases in humans as well as animals. Botulism is caused by clostridium botulinum while tetanus is caused by clostridium tetani. Both organisms produce neurotoxins that act on nerves and eventually on muscles to cause respiratory failure.

The major difference between botulism and tetanus is that, in botulism, there is a characteristic descending flaccid paralysis. Signs and symptoms include; facial weakness, difficulty speaking, difficulty swallowing, drooling, shortness of breath and eventually respiratory paralysis.

Tetanus is characterized by spastic paralysis. Symptoms include; painful muscle contractions, fever, difficulty in breathing, difficulty in swallowing, and respiratory paralysis.

In hot weather, the testes are protected from the heat by relaxation of the dartos muscle. relaxation of the dartos muscle, cont
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Relaxation of the dartos muscle.

Explanation:

Testes are present in scrotum outside the pelvic cavity to maintain the temperature about 2-3 degrees Celsius below the body temperature as required for sperm production. Dartos muscle is the layer of smooth muscle located in the superficial fascia. The contraction of dartos muscle serves to make the skin of the scrotum wrinkled and tight.

During hot weather, the dartos muscle relaxes and makes the surface of scrotum less wrinkled to increase the loss of the heat from its surface. The increased heat loss from the surface of scrotum due to relaxed dartos muscles keeps the testes protected from heat.
