Answer:
Brain and spinal cord
Explanation:
Meningitis is the inflammation of the protective covering of the meninges, the three membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. Meningitis usually occurs from a viral infection, but may sometimes result from a bacterial or fungal infection, cancer or drug allergies.
Viral and bacterial meningitis may be contagious and can be transmitted through coughing and sneezing.
Symptoms of meningitis include:
- sensitivity to bright light
Treatment is by vaccination, use of antibiotics and antifungal agents.
Answer:paracrine
Explanation:glands are specialized tissues that secrete specific chemicals substances.these substances may be enzymes,hormones or lubricating fluid.glands secretes their their products through several mechanisms.some involve the use of ducts ,while others do not.
In paracrine secretion,the secretory products reach their target cells by diffusion through the extracellular space or adjacent connective tissue.
Paracrine secretion do not use ducts.
Similar to paracrine is the endocrine ,in which the secretory products goes through the basal lamina ,into the underlying connective tissue and into the vascular syatem.they too do not use ducts
Answer:
There are several environmental factors that causes changes in the ecosystem and the population of that area such as invasive species, extreme weather, land use change, pollution and disease.
Lets take invasive species as environmental factor. Introduction of invasive species can cause a huge change in the ecosystem and affects the native population in that area. it increases the competition for food resources and decreases the survival rate of their preys.
For example: Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes). It is an invasive plant species that has very bad impact of native population as well as other population, like it reduces biological diversity, oxygen loss, decreased phytoplankton productivity, eliminate plants that animals use for nesting, and alter animal communities by blocking access to the water.
Thus invasive population can affect population by reducing biodiversity, water shortages, decreasing availability and quality of key natural resources, disturb the food chain and can cause natural calamities.
Invasive species affect the resources that native species are using and that decreases the carrying capacity of the native population as it disturbs the whole food chain.
