kicyunya [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The pituitary gland refers to a small gland, which is situated in the sella turcica. It is considered the master gland of the body. The pituitary gland comprises two prime parts, the posterior pituitary gland and the anterior pituitary gland. The anterior pituitary gland produces six hormones and discharged them into the bloodstream.  

The following are the hormones produced by anterior pituitary gland:  

1. The growth hormone that monitors metabolism, growth and body composition.  

2. Adrenocorticotropic hormone that instigates the adrenal glands to produce steroid hormones, mainly cortisol.  

3. Follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone, also called gonadotropins, which functions on the testes or ovaries to instigate the production of sex hormone, and maturity of sperm and egg.  

4. The thyroid-stimulating hormone that instigates the thyroid gland to discharge thyroid hormones.  

5. Prolactin that instigates the production of milk.

iVinArrow [24]
Well everyone's needs for love and attention are different. It can depend on how you were raised, if you received a lot of attention as a kid, etc. Humans are social creatures so we already crave human interaction. and, going back to how you were raised, even if you were raised quite well and you got enough attention as a kid, it really depends on how people treated you and maybe how many times you've had your heart broken or something along those lines. That need honestly varies from person to person. But I know how it feels, you'll get through it, you'll be okay.

topjm [15]

Evolution's patterns manifest as nested similarities. nesting occurs between molecular sequences of evolutionary related organisms and between the different taxa arranged in a phylogenetic tree. True

Phylogenetic tree is a branching diagram that shows the evolutionary relationships between various species.

Nesting behavior is an urge in the pregnant animal to prepare a home for the upcoming generation which occurs due to increase in the amount of estradiol to protect them from predators and environment.

Nesting behavior is also taken consideration to understand the phylogenetic similarities between various species.

Systems that use massively parallel systems of processors whose architecture is based on the human neuron structure are called
sashaice [31]

Answer:

Neural networks

Explanation:

The neuron is the structural and functional unit of the nervous system. The neuron is also known as a nerve cell. The neuron is the largest cell of the body that helps to communicate or transmit signals. A neuron has an axon body, dendrites, and terminal region. The transmission of the signal from one neuron to another through the axon terminal.   Large numbers of neurons are present in the human body system that coordinates the whole body system. Neural networks contain a massive amount of neurons whose architecture is based on neurons. So, the correct answer to the given question is neural networks that use massively parallel systems based on neurons.

Answer is at the very end

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the asteroid = 10 x 10⁹kg

Distance between the asteroid = 850km

Unknown:

Force = ?

Solution:

We can predict the outcome of this reduction in distance between the two masses using the newton's law of universal gravitation.

The law states that "the gravitational force of attraction between two masses is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distances between them".

 Mathematically, we have;

          F =

F is the gravitational force

G is the universal gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹Nm²kg⁻²

m is the mass of the body

r is the distance between them.

 From this, we know that as the separation increases, the force of gravitation will reduce since the mass is constant.

The distance between the two asteroids decreased from 1000km to 850km, this will increase the force of attraction between them and we expect the force to be higher than 6700N.

 At 1000Km, force = 6700N,

 since as the distance reduces the force increases, we expect the force to be about 9200N.

Let us verify this by plugging the values into the equation:

       F =

      F = 9200N
