Answer:
The correct answer is - per gram, the marathon runner's muscles would contain more myoglobin than the sprinter's muscles.
Explanation:
Marathon runners have smaller leg muscles and thinner quads and calves as marathon runners require slow-twitch muscles while in sprinters the fast-twitch muscle requires. Slow-twitch muscles of marathon runners have more amount of myoglobin, per gram than fast-twitch muscles.
Myoglobin acts as local oxygen storage that provides oxygen to the muscles in case of less oxygen supply than required temporarily and a marathon race is an intense exercise or activity that requires more oxygen.
Answer:
The correct answer is: The ventromedial hypothalamus plays a role in satiety.
Explanation:
The hypothalamus is a part of the brain that controls many important bodily functions and connects both the nervous system with the endocrine system. The hypothalamus consists of several nuclei that have diverse functions and are located in 3 different regions.
The nucleus that plays a role in satiety is the ventromedial nucleus, terminating hunger and giving a sensation of fullness. It also plays a significant role in thermoregulation, among other things.
Neuropeptide Y, on the other hand, is a peptide that is released to make us feel hungry and encourage us to intake food (primarily carbohydrates).
Cholecystokinin is a hormone released by the small intestines after we had a meal, and its function is to improve digestion and make us feel full.
Fat cells DO release leptin, but the function of this hormone is to produce satiety, by stimulating anorexigenic (meaning they take hunger away) hormones and inhibiting orexigenic ones, like Neuropeptide Y.
The major evolutionary episode corresponding most closely in time with the formation of Pangaea was the Permian Extinctions.
The Permian Extinctions happened around 300 million years ago and lasted for around 15 million years. It eliminated over 95 percent of water life and 70 percent of species on land. It was one of the largest extinctions in the history of Earth.
The crayfish have its nerve cord on the ventral side rather than on the dorsal side. The ventral side is under the Crayfishes' exoskeleton, as opposed to the dorsal side where the exoskeleton is . If it is attacked it will be from the dorsal side and the nerve cord would be snapped easier. The function of the nerve cord is that if it gets attacked by a predator they will go for the top and it will still be able to move.
