What is not true regarding fenestrated capillaries?
dangina [55]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:

Which of the following is not true regarding fenestrated capillaries?

A) Fenestrated capillaries in endocrine organs allow hormones rapid entry into the blood.

B) Fenestrated capillaries in the small intestine receive nutrients from digested food.

C) Fenestrated capillaries are essential for filtration of blood plasma in the kidney.

D) Fenestrated capillaries form the blood-brain barrier.

Answer:

Fenestrated capillaries form the blood-brain barrier.

Explanation:

The fenesterated capillaries are small fine thin capillaries that helps in the exchange of substances. These capillaries are mainly found in the kidney, small intestine and glands.

The fenestrted capillaries allow the exchnage of hormone in the blood and in the kidney for the filtration. The nutrients can be easily exchanged by the capillaries present in the small intestine. The blood brain barrier function is not performed by the fenesterated capillaries. They allows the rapid exchange function and not as the barrier.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

_______ research has the potential to significantly impact the development of disease-modifying treatments for Parkinson's disea
nydimaria [60]

<u>Stem cell </u>research has the potential to significantly impact the development of disease-modifying treatments for Parkinson’s disease with considerable progress made in creating dopamine-progressing cells.

Explanation:

Parkinson’s disease, a neurodegenerative disease, leads to reduction of dopamine (a neurochemical messenger which carries messages involving thinking and body movements to brain) in the body because the disease will target and kill dopamine-producing nerve cells (neurons). This leads to loss of movement and thinking abilities which are activated by dopamine.

Stem cells research is done to study about the prospects of stem cells in stem cell therapy for Parkinson’s patients as a viable source of new dopamine nerve cells. Research has been involved in growing stem cells to replace or regenerate dopamine-producing nerve cells by using embryonic stem cells or induced pluripotent stem cells as a treatment modality in Parkinson’s disease.

1. Why are two thick cotton sheets warmer than one single blanket
mash [69]
Since the air is a great thermal isolator, the windows prevent heat exchange better than one made out of a single thick sheet of glass. The air between the thin blankets is not moving around and will form an isolating layer that acts exactly like another blanket, thus improving the thermal isolation
