Information on Nerve tissue if it can be 250 words that would be great.

type I diabetes mellitus results when auto-reactive t cells insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Describe the mechanisms, both central and peripheral, that would normally prevent these self-reactive cells from attacking the host cells.

describe the following process of the digestive system, the digestion and absorption of amino acids

Articulation case study:

Sam, now a 6 year old male was recently adopted from Vietnam. He was born with a bilateral complete cleft lip and palate. The cleft lip was repaired in Vietnam, but the cleft palate was left unrepaired. Due to the cleft palate, he has velopharyngeal dysfunction i.e. his velum does not retract and meet the posterior pharyngeal wall to close off the nasal cavity.

1. Which anatomical structures are missing/affected in a complete bilateral cleft palate?

2. Which anatomical structures are missing/affected in a complete bilateral cleft lip?

3. How do you think Sam sounds i.e. what is his vocal quality? Why? Hint: Think about how the velopharyngeal insufficiency is affecting his overall articulation.

4. Despite his velopharyngeal insufficiency, there are certain phonemes of the English language that he can produce effectively. What are those phonemes?

5. What affects might Sam’s cleft palate have on swallowing? (2) Please answer all 5 questions

2. Stored: steroid & peptide; on demand: amine
3. Stored: peptide & amine; on demand: steroid
4. Stored: steroid & amine: on demand: peptide
5. Stored: peptide; on demand: steroid & amine
