Answer:

Junctions among epithelial cells lining the digestive tract. (Ans. B)

Explanation:

Tight junction are defined as a barrier is form where the membrane of two adjacent cells join together. Cell membrane of two adjacent cells connected by two main proteins claudins and occludins (trans-membrane proteins).

Tight junction helping to prevent molecules to passing between the cells and helping to maintain the polarity present in the cell with the help of bind cells together.

Tight junction have several functions:

1) Tight junction are present in the epithelial cells, these cells lines the body cavity and the surface which is present in the body. They are helping to separate epithelial cells from the nearby environment and also helping to separate from the surface which is present in the body.

2) Most important function of the tight junction is to help in forming a barrier which prevent molecules from moving around.

Digiron [165]
<span>7. which, if any, of the blood samples tested cna the patient with type b+ blood receive? explain why.
It can't be answered because you didn't put the sample test result


8. explain how you were able to use your knowledge of how different types of blood react with anti-a, anti-b, and anti Rh antibodies to determine the blood types of the four samples.
If the blood react with anti-a, then the blood must not have A antigen
</span>If the blood react with anti-b, then the blood must not have B antigen
If the blood react with anti Rh, then the blood must not have Rh antigen
Based on the antigen, you can conclude the result as:
react with anti A= blood type B
react with anti B= blood type A
react with anti A and anti B= blood type O
react with anti Rh= Rh-
not react with anti Rh= Rh+
<span>
9. if a person has type a blood, he or she would have antibodies for what blood type?
Type A blood has antigen A. So that person should not have anti-A antigens. 
The person should have anti-B antibodies because it was a foreign object to him. Depends on the Rhesus type, he can have Rh antibodies too.

10. why is type o negative blood known as the universal donor? why is o positive not a universal donor?

Type O blood doesn't have antigen-A or antigen-B. That means the blood cells won't trigger any reaction on Type A, B, AB, or O blood. Negative rhesus also means that the blood is safe for Rhesus negative or Rhesus positive type. 

Positive O blood type has rhesus antigen, so it will trigger a reaction in Rhesus negative type. </span>
