The tick is considered the vector in the chain of infection.
Generally, vector organisms are organisms that are capable of transmitting disease pathogens from infected organisms to uninfected ones either directly or indirectly as a result of their activities.
Ticks are parasites that feed on the blood of vertebrate animals such as deers and humans. When they feed on the blood of animals with certain infections, the pathogens for such infections are sometimes carried in the guts of the parasites and these are transferred to the bloodstream of the next animal that would be their host.
A good example of this is Lyme disease.

Answer:
The correct answer is the endocrine system.
Explanation:
The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine system are the two prime systems that take part in the stress response.
At the time of acute or chronic stress, the endocrine system first makes the hypothalamus to discharge CRH or corticotropin-releasing hormone into the bloodstream. The release of CRH further makes the anterior pituitary to discharge ACTH or adrenocorticotropic hormone into the blood. This further stimulates the adrenal cortex to discharge cortisol, that is, one of the glucocorticoid hormone into the bloodstream.
The cortisol finally makes the organs and tissues present within the body to effectively cope up with the initial stress stimulus.
The inheritance of gene expression patterns, in the absence of the initiating signal, is called Epigenetic regulation.
Epigenetic changes can be defined as inherited variations which are not present in the DNA sequence. Gene expression is regulated at different levels and not merely in response to DNA modifications. Examples of epigenetic control include DNA methylation, histone deacetylation and mi-RNA expression.
Epigenetic mechanisms add an adaptive layer of control in the regulation of gene expression that allows an organism to adapt to a dynamic environment.
Epigenetic regulation increases the functional intricacy of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) by changing chromatin structure, nuclear organization as well as transcript stability.

If you don't use them they get stored as glycogen, for later use. buy if you're not active, it can lead to obesity.
