The advantage of this type of anatomical relationship is that this enables the pituitary to receive signals before sending hormones to the rest of the body through the blood.

The anterior pituitary, a significant component of the endocrine system, is the glandular anterior lobe that, along with the posterior lobe (also known as the posterior pituitary or neurohypophysis), constitutes the pituitary gland (hypophysis).

Stress, growth, reproduction, and lactation are just a few of the physiological activities that the anterior pituitary controls.

Blood tests that assess hormone levels are frequently used to determine if the anterior pituitary and the organs it controls are functioning properly.

The hypothalamus-hypophyseal portal veins deliver hypothalamic releasing and inhibitory hormones directly to the anterior pituitary gland.

Certain hormones from the hypothalamus bind to receptors on particular anterior pituitary cells, controlling how much of the hormone they generate is released.

"if a bacterium cannot use citrate, what result will occur in citrate agar?"
Annette [7]

If a bacterium cannot use citrate agar will not change its color (stays green). On the other hand, if bacteria have the ability to use citrate, the medium will change its color from green to blue.

This happens because citrate agar contains pH indicator such as bromothymol blue which transforms from green to blue in alkaline conditions.

A man who has type B blood has children with a woman who has type A blood. A. If they are both heterozygous for this trait, pred
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

The possible blood types of their children are: type AB (iAiB), type A (iAi), type B (iBi), type O (ii)

Explanation:

Blood type in humans is controlled by a gene with multiple alleles. Alleles iA and iB are dominant over allele i but co-dominant. The following blood types are encoded by the following alleles:

Blood type AB - iAiB

Blood type A - iAiA or iAi

Blood type B - iBiB or iBi

Blood type O - ii

According to this question, a man who has type B blood has children with a woman who has type A blood. They are both heterozygous, meaning that the man's genotype is "iBi" while the woman's genotype is "iAi". Both parents will produce gametes as follows:

iBi = iB and i

iAi = iA and I

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following possible blood types are produced in the offsprings:

- type AB (iAiB)

- type A (iAi)

- type B (iBi)

- type O (ii)

Answer:

We get the materials to make new cells through...

biosynthesis, which puts small organic molecules together to create larger molecules.

Explanation:

Biosynthesis is the process in your body that turns simple structures into more complex structures. It can happen within a single cell (or within a single organelle within a cell), or across multiple cells. In this case, multiple, since it is referring to humans.

Either this option or A.
