Answer: Reticular activating system (RAS)

Explanation: The Reticular activating system can be defined as the system in which is made from a set of nuclei that are interconnected which spreads  throughout the brainstem.

This is not anatomically well defined because its network has been distributed into different parts of the brain.

One of the main function of this system is to decide whether the stimuli that is present in the environment is useful or useless. It ignores the useless repetitive stimuli and remains awake for the useful stimuli.

Example: A person who can sleep through the loud traffic in a large traffic but he awakes by the sound of the alarm.

What is the answer to this question?"explain two difficulties an ecologist might have in counting a population of migratory bird
dimulka [17.4K]
<span>It may be difficult for ecologists to determine the size of a bird population if that population migrates to different locations throughout the year. During migration, some birds may split off from the group and not return, others may die, and still others may join. Therefore, the bird population will be in constant flux. It is hard to know, when the birds return to their prior location, if the population consists of the same group of birds (in addition to deaths and births) or whether it has grown or shrank through other means. However, to estimate the size, an ecologist can track a migratory flock through several years, counting each year to get a general sense of the population size. Additionally, given one measurement, an ecologist could consider the average lifespan and birth rates of the population to extrapolate the size of the population in subsequent years.</span>

Explain:how can an increase in a human population cause changes in an ecosystem ?
makkiz [27]
The use of more resources lead to a decrease in resources, therefore the need for more resources. More people means the more need for shelter. More people means more industrialisation to provide for the needs and wants of life.

When would be a good time in San Francisco to collect seashells? Explain your answer.
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

12th May at 4.17 PM

Explanation:

This is because this is during the low tides and the low tide is at its lowest, at -0.7, m than any other date or time of the month. This means that most of the shoreline has receded deep into the ocean and exposed most of the continental shelf than any other time. This leaves rooms for more sea shells to be exposed and easily collected.
