The sympathetic nervous system releases hormones known as catecholamines which increase the heart rate.

<h3>What is a heart rate? </h3>

it is the number of contractions of the heart per minute.

<h3>What are catecholamines?</h3>

These are the neurotransmitters that have a catechol and a side chain that is an amine.

<h3>Which catecholamines are released by the sympathetic nervous system?</h3>

Epinephrine and norepinephrine are the catecholamines that are released by the sympathetic nervous system to increase the heart rate.

<h3>Where are these hormones released?</h3>

These hormones are released in the blood.

<h3>How does this hormone increase the heart rate?</h3>

"These hormones are released at the neuromuscular junction of the cardiac nerves."
"They shorten the repolarization period."
This speeds up the rate of depolarization and contraction and thus the heart rate is increased.

Answer:

Dear Mr. President,

Your strong voice has called attention to the risks of human-induced climate change and the need to take timely and effective steps to address it. We are pleased to report further progress in our efforts to advise you on climate policy options that could help encourage these steps.

Mr. President, our temperatures are consistently rising while moisture is increasingly evaporating. Forest management is merely one piece of the puzzle — something our own firefighters would be quick to remind you. Since 2009, our state has spent more than $130 million on forest health and fire preparedness. These events still overwhelm our residents and resources, because these fires are unlike anything people have seen before.

Sincerely,

When comparing genomes from different species, scientists are often interested in the genome density, or the number of genes per

Setler79 [48]

The human genome density ranges between 12-15 genes per Megabase pairs. This is because humans have approximately 2000 genes in a total of approximately 3 billion base pairs. However, some primitive organisms have an even larger gene density than humans. An example is bacteria with gene densities ranging between 100 – 500 genes/Mb. Gene density is therefore not a good characteristic in determining the complexity of an organism.
