Answer:
Tetanus patients exhibit <u>opisthotonos</u> when muscle spasms cause them to arch their backs.
Explanation:
Tetanus is a bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani The disease causing bacteria is found in dust, manure soil and saliva. This infection is characterized by muscle spasms that start at the jaw and progress to rest of the muscles of the body.
Tetanus patients may also exhibit extreme arched pose due to severe muscle spasms. This state of hyperextension and spasticity is known as opisthotonus.
An action potential involves the transfer SODIUM and POTASSIUM ions across an axon's membrane.
During depolarization, when the ion channels open, they allow the influx of sodium ions into the cell, thus changing the electro-chemical gradient of the cell, in order to counter balance this, potassium ions will be allowed to flow out of the cell.<span />
Answer:
I am pretty sure that the answer is A.
Explanation:
Protein kinases regulate the cell cycle by giving the "go-ahead" or "stop" signal at checkpoints in the cycle. A mutation/disruption in the protein kinases can result in it not doing its job properly. As a result, it can give the 'go-ahead' signal to all cells (mutated or not) to continue through the cell cycle. A distrupted kinase will infleunce the enviornment for a cancer cell as the cancer cell can continue to divide continuously.
I do not think the answer is D because G-couped receptirs are not involed in the regulation of the cell cycle. Additionally, I do not think the answer is C since the production of cAMP (a secondary messgenger amplifies transduction signals; this doesn't have anything to do with cancer?) Finally, between A and B I know that a direct result of cancer is due to a distruption in either protien kinases or growth factors (not in the answer choices). Since one of the factors that leads to cancer is present in answer choice A, I think that is the one. However, this is just my reasoning, I am not 100% sure!
Answer:
The answer is Gas.
Explanation:
Gas flows freely because the particles are loose and has no restraints.
