Which cells of the nervous system protect the cns by phagocytosing viruses, microorganisms, and tumor cells?

1 answer:

3 0

The correct answer is microglia.
Microglia is glial cells found in the central nervous system with the protective role. Because they are the resident macrophage cells, they act as the first and main form of active immune defense. Microglia is constantly cleaning the CNS for plaques, damaged or unnecessary neurons, and infectious agents, like viruses or other microorganisms.

1. the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle
2. I am not sure
3. Earth's mantle contained convection cells that dissipated radioactive heat and moved the crust at the surface
4. supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras.
5. the theory that the outer rigid layer of the earth (the lithosphere) is divided into a couple of dozen "plates" that move around across the earth's surface relative to each other, like slabs of ice on a lake.
6. Africa and South America.
7. I am not sure
8. a small area or region with a relatively hot temperature in comparison to its surroundings.
9. As the plate moves over a fixed spot deeper in the Earth where magma (molten lava) forms, a new volcano can punch through this plate and create an island. The Hawaiian Islands are believed to be formed from one such 'hot spot'.

Place the events in the correct order:

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

1. Chromatin condense into chromosomes.

4. Homologous chromosomes pair up (formation of tetrads).

5. Homologous chromosomes separate and move to poles.

2. Sister chromatids separate.

3. Chromosomes unravel in to chromatin.

Explanation:

This question portrays the process of meiosis in a cell. The ordered sequence of events in the options are:

1. Chromatin condense into chromosomes - This process occurs in the Prophase stage. Prior to the cell division, the nuclear material is found as Chromatin material. This Chromatin material then undergoes condensation to form visible chromosomes.

4. Homologous chromosomes pair up (formation of tetrads) - This process also occurs during the Prophase stage of meiosis I. In this stage, homologous chromosomes (similar but non-identical chromosomes received from each parent) are paired up side by side to form a structure known as TETRAD or BIVALENT.

5. Homologous chromosomes separate and move to poles - This process characterizes the Anaphase stage of meiosis I. Homologous chromosomes are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell by spindle microtubules.

2. Sister chromatids separate - After meiosis I, meiosis II involving sister chromatids instead of homologous chromosomes follows. In the Anaphase stage of meiosis II specifically, sister chromatids are pulled apart towards opposite poles of the cell.

3. Chromosomes unravel in to chromatin - After the whole division process i.e. karyokinesis (division of the nuclear material), the chromosomes begin to unravel to form the CHROMATIN threads once again. This process occurs in the Telophase stage of meiosis.
