Much of the coordination of vertebrate body functions via chemical signals is accomplished by the endocrine system.

The endocrine system is an information system composed of hormonal feedback loops that are secreted directly into the circulatory system by the body's endocrine glands and regulate distant target organs.

In vertebrates, the hypothalamus is the centre of neuromodulation of all endocrine systems. The main endocrine glands in humans are the thyroid and adrenal glands.

The study of the endocrine system and its disorders is called endocrinology.

The glands that send signals to each other in sequence are often referred to as the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.

In addition to the specialized endocrine organs mentioned above, many other organs that are part of other body systems have secondary endocrine functions such as bones, kidneys, liver, heart and gonads.

For example, the kidneys secrete the endocrine hormone erythropoietin. Hormones are amino acid complexes, steroids, eicosanoids, leukotrienes, or prostaglandins.

frosja888 [35]

Answer: Excessive movements of the walls of the  abdomen

Basically babies belly breathe, that is they undergo abdominal pattern of respiration( instead of the abdomino- thoracic pattern in  adult), through their abdomen.

<u>This is because,  their thoracic walls are not fully functional to undergo  the normal adult mechanisms  of breathing</u>.

<u>The ribs are short in length due to incomplete ossification. They curve out wards, at low angle, their sternum, is shaped horizontally.</u>

These features reduce the activities   of the inter coastal muscles and the thoracic cage  in the mechanism of  infants breathing,compare to the long ribs, obliquely shaped rib cage,  with lower  sternum  of  adult which  permit the  abdominal-thoracic  breathing pattern.

Therefore ,when the diaphragm distends during breathing ,its movement pushes the organs of the abdomen down; because infants have rapid respiratory  rates, the distends created  rapid  expansion and contraction of the walls of the abdomen to gain enough abdominal pressure.

This together with the movement of  organs of the abdomen   from  the  pathways of diaphragm  created the  excessive  movements of the abdominal walls. This rapid abdominal wall movements creates discomfort and distress for the infant during this mechanisms.

What would happen if (G) guanine lined up with (T) thymine during meiosis. Please help me with this.
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:they won't for a pair

Explanation:Basically it all depends on process called complementary base pairing, the structure of thymine and adenine is such that it forms two hydrogen bonds and therefore pair up

2.guanine and cytosine have such structure that they form three hydrogen bonds and pair up

So Adenine complements only thymine and guanine complements cytosine and there aren't any chances of guanine pairing up with thymine.
