The typical light microscope at its maximum magnification power has a resolution of 200 nm. The light microscope is able to view and distinguish between two lines or points that are no less than 200 nm apart. Since our membrane of interest is 8 nm apart, it won't be visible under the light microscope. Several such membranes are needed to lined side by side to make the viewing possible. The number of membranes should be, \frac{200}{8} = 25.

When the critical hormone __________ is released in high enough concentration by the mother's pituitary gland, the uterus begins
Karolina [17]

Answer:

oxytocin

Explanation:

Oxytocin is a hormone naturally produced by our body to generate contractions of the uterus during labor and the release of milk during breastfeeding. It was synthesized in the laboratory and thus became a very useful medication that can help save lives if correctly indicated.

This hormone can also be used to initiate labor when it does not occur naturally, and can regulate contractions when they are not effective and it is diagnosed that labor is not progressing properly.

In addition, it can also be used to contract the uterus after childbirth or abortion when bleeding is very abundant, preventing bleeding that could lead to loss of the uterus and even death if not properly controlled.
