The ______ is the nerve tissue at the back of the eye, which receives the image that has been formed by the cornea, the pupil, and the crystalline lens.

Answers

The correct answer is that the retina is the nerve tissue at the back of the eye, which receives the image that has been formed by the cornea, the pupil, and the crystalline lens. The retina is a delicate tissue that it important to check on in the case of eye-strain, so that general eye health can be maintained.

Retina and crystalline lens

The lens concentrates on light through the transparent humor, a transparent gel-like material that permeates the back of the eye and controls the retina. The retina sustains the image that the cornea concentrates through the eye's inner lens and converts this image into electrical vibrations that are transported by the optic nerve to the brain.

The crystalline lens is the title given to the original lens that people are born with. Small muscles connected to the lens can make the lens to change its shape, which enables the eyes to concentrate on near or far objects.

Which is TRUE of only children relative to children with siblings? a. They are more egotistical. b. They are more selfish. c. They are smarter and more mature. d. They are more likely to be ""spoiled brats.""

Answers

Answer: Option B) They are more egotistical

Explanation:

A singly raised child is more likely to be egotistical i.e considering himself or herself to be better and more important than others.

This perception is simply due to the focused attention, endowment, care and nurture given to such a child (in the absence of any sibling) by the parents.

Thus, singly raised children are more egotistical than children with siblings

The body increases blood flow when it is exposed to the weakened or dead form of a pathogen.
The body raises its temperature when it is exposed to the weakened or dead form of a pathogen.
The body produces antibodies when it is exposed to the weakened or dead form of a pathogen.

Answers

Correct answer: D). The body produces antibodies when it is exposed to the weakened or dead form of a pathogen.

The vaccine consists of a weakened or dead pathogen, in response to that body produces antibodies after the administration of the first dose of vaccine. So, if the same body is exposed to that pathogen in the future the body will memorize it, and attack the pathogen more powerfully because it has already prepared an antibody against that pathogen in order to kill that foreign antigen.

Hence, the correct answer would be option D.
The body produces antibodies when it is exposed to the weakened or dead form of a pathogen.
