It may have to do with more olden stereotypes, where women were seen to be caretakers of the family, while the male went out to work and earn for them. Many jobs back then were dependent on strength, so as long as men fulfilled their role of earning money (through labor) their looks were seen as little importance. Let me elaborate. If a man could care for his family, he was seen as admirable, or at least acceptable to society. If he couldn't earn, then he was deemed worthless. So a man's honor depended on how his strength was. In this sense, looks didn't really contribute to a man's place in society. Women, on the other hand, were the face of the family. Men would show them off to friends, so if women weren't decently attractive, then it wouldn't be very good for the male. Other than housework, the woman's job is to literally sit still and look pretty; thus the reason behind corsets, bonnets, petticoats and so on. You won't see society asking men to wear such complicated things, because their main job is to work. It would be unsuitable for a blacksmith to be wearing tight suits while hammering, no? I hope this gave you some general insight.

A mugger steals your wallet causing all of the following to happen EXCEPT ________.a.) increased metabolic rateb.) increased rat
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

c.) increased glucose uptake to the liver from blood

Explanation:

During stressful conditions such as facing a mugger, the sympathetic system of the autonomic nervous system is activated. There is a release of stress hormones from the adrenal glands to produce the flight or fight response. One of the physiological events occurring during these conditions is the breakdown of glycogen into glucose in liver cells and the release of glucose into the blood. The release of glucose by the liver increases blood glucose levels. This is done to ensure glucose availability as fuel. There is no uptake of glucose from the liver cells under such emergency conditions.

Veins returning to the heart can close to prevent the backflow of blood. Which component in the veins contributes to this proces
givi [52]
Compared to arteries, valves have no pulse, have thin walls and have valves that prevent backflow of the blood. The pressure in the veins is less than that of the arteries, hence, there is no pulse. They are nearer to the surface of the skin. It also connects arteries and capillaries which transport blood all throughout the circulatory system.
