Based on these changes which are recorded‚ an examiner can detect if a person is being truthful or lying. The physiological basis of the EDA is that sweat glands will increase secretion based on somatic sensory stimulus‚ for example touch‚ pain‚ pressure‚ and will cause a change in emotion. The increase secretion (sweat) is generally small‚ however it lowers the electrical resistance of the skin since seat contains water and electrolytes. Both of these increase the skins electrical conductivity

“DISCUSS THE STRATEGIES THAT ARE USED BY BACTERIAL PATHOGENS TO EVADE HOST ANTIBACTERIAL PEPTIDES AND PHAGOCYTES” The mammalian immune system has two major components; the innate and the adaptive immune system. The innate system is usually the first line of defence and it acts as a strong roadblock to invading bacterial pathogens through direct mechanisms such as inflammation‚ phagocytosis‚ complement system activation‚ antibacterial peptides and indirectly by activating adaptive response through

(Johnson) There are five basic processes of the digestive system. These processes are motility‚ secretion‚ digestion‚ absorption‚ and excretion. Motility is the mechanical processing and movement of food taken into the body. Chewing breaks food into smaller pieces‚ and two types of movement mix the contents of the lumen and propel it forward. The lumen is the inside lining of the GI tract. Secretion is the fluid‚ digestive enzymes‚ acid‚ alkali‚ bile‚ and mucus that are secreted into the GI tract

Cell Organelles Nucleus Its function is to control the cell’s activities and retain the chromosomes. The nucleus is bound by a double membrane‚ the nuclear envelope. The nuclear envelope has pores in it to allow the transport of mRNA. The cytoplasm like material is called nucleoplasm which contains chromatin (coils of DNA and histone proteins)‚ it is chromatin that condenses to form chromosomes during cell division. Within the nucleus is a small spherical body called the nucleolus which
