Answer:
Thyrocalcitonin or TCT
Explanation:
Thyrocalcitonin or TCT is a non-iodinated calcium lowering hormone. It is originating from the parafollicular cells or C cells (C for calcium).
The thyroid gland consists of follicles of cuboidal epithelial cells. These cuboidal cells have a nucleus at the base. These are principal cells responsible for the synthesis of thyroid hormones.
In between these follicular cells, other high cuboidal cells are present, known as parafollicular cells / C cells. These cells synthesise the hormone TCT. When there is high levels of calcium ions in the serum, TCT will release. This lowers the high level of calcium ions in the blood and plasma to normal level. This is done due to the deposition of calcium in the bone.
Atherosclerosis
Explanation:
Correct order of the sequence of events that leads to atherosclerosis is:
c, d, b, a
Development of atherosclerosis is caused by a high concentration of LDL‐cholesterol in the blood, and lowering the level of LDL‐cholesterol reverses atherosclerosis thus preventing cardiovascular disease
Cholesterol is the key component of arterial plaques which gave rise to the cholesterol hypothesis for the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis
Population studies have shown that elevated levels of both LDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein B (apoB) 100, which is the main structural protein of LDL, are directly associated with risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular events
Answer: A. environmental influences
A development in terms of biology is a gradual process of changes that occurs in an organism until the organism attains maturity or adulthood. Development can be physiological and mental development. Environmental influences are influences of nature on development. Some of the environmental influences are nutrition, altitude, temperature and climate. For example sunny weather conditions in a region can induce dark complexion in the habitants.
Answer:
it reacts easily with other substances. This is why they easily rust and oxidize when in contact with oxygen, and tarnish when meets water.
