Answer:

Weight gain and depression are symptoms caused by imbalance of pituitary and adrenal glands and the cortisol hormone.

Explanation:

The pituitary gland is responsible for the overall functioning of the body since it produces a variety of hormones. It is very small in size and is also known as the 'master gland'. It is made of two parts- anterior pituitary gland and posterior pituitary gland. The pituitary gland and its functions are controlled by the hypothalamus.

The anterior pituitary secretes hormones which act on adrenal glands, thyroid, testes and ovaries. The hormones produced are TSH, Prolactin, Luitenizing Hormone, Cortisol, Testosterone, etc.

Cortisol is produced by the adrenal gland under the command of pituitary gland. Cortisol helps in regulating blood sugar, blood pressure and helps in reducing inflammation. Any imbalance of adrenal gland will cause an increase or decrease in the production of cortisol. The symptoms produced on the imbalance are:

Obesity in upper body
High blood pressure
Mood swings, depression and irritability
Acne and other skin problems.

Arisa [49]

True, the vitreous humor is a clear, watery fluid that helps maintain the intraocular pressure of the eye and provides nutrients for the avascular lens and cornea.

Vitreous humor is also known as aqueous humor or vitreous liquid. The word vitreous means transparent, and humor means liquid. It is a clear jelly-like substance that fills the inside of the eyeball. As a person ages, the vitreous humor becomes more liquid. It plays an important role in providing metabolic nutrient requirements of the lens, coordinating eye growth and providing support to the retina.

The cornea helps our eyes to focus light so we can see clearly. It is the transparent and front part of the human eye that covers the iris, anterior chamber, and pupil, along with the anterior chamber and lens.

What are some water pollution management strategies, what do you think is the best one and why?

lesantik [10]

Answer:

There are plenty of things that we as individuals can do to slow down the amount of pollution going into the ocean, these could include not flushing anything down the toilet that won't disintegrate (because no matter where you live, all toilet pipes lead to the ocean), converting plastic use to reusable materials; this could include using reusable straws, water bottles, shopping bags, etc. and of course, when you need to throw plastic out, always recycle. :)

Explanation:

I believe the best way an individual can help the oceans is by converting plastics to reusable or at least eco-friendly products. If everyone made a conscious effort to do this, the oceans would be MUCH clearer.

Hope this helps!

How do you think multitasking relates to processing in the brain and your reaction time?

Art [367]

The brain has a finite capacity to process a certain number of tasks in a given amount of time. As we see reaction time decreases with increase in the number of tasks that the brain is doing simultaneously. It seems that the brain tries to do both activities together however it increases the processing time for each activity.
