How do adrenaline help in dealing with emergency situations

Biology
1 answer:
tankabanditka [31]4 years ago
3 0
Adrenaline helps in emergency situation by providing energy so that the major muscles of the body can respond to the perceived threat.
In danger, the brain then sends nerve impulses to the adrenal gland in the kidneys. When the nerve signal reaches the adrenal gland, chromaffin cells, in the medulla of the adrenal gland, release epinephrine or adrenaline. It then enters the bloodstream. It is thus carried around the body to cells in various locations, where it initiates several responses.
1. Adrenaline, along with another hormone called glucagon, is responsible for the breakdown of glycogen in liver cells. Glycogen is a form of energy storage. This gives energy to the muscles
2. Adrenaline effects the skin also. Restriction of the arteries is caused by the binding of epinephrine/adrenaline to some alpha-adrenergic receptors. This cuts off blood supply to the skin. This results in the contraction of the smooth muscle cells in the skin, which cause the raising of the hairs on the surface of the skin. 
3. The lungs contain smooth muscle. Epinephrine causes smooth muscles to relax. Specifically, epinephrine binds to beta-2-adrenergic receptors on bronchiole muscle cells. This allows the bronchioles to relax, which enables intensified respiration.
<span>4. Adrenaline binds to beta-adrenergic receptors on heart muscle cells. This causes the contraction rate of the heart to increase. This ultimately leads to increased blood supply to the tissues in the body.</span>

Why are the colors different on the planet at different times of the year ? Give a specific example.
Reptile [31]

Answer:

In the Northern Hemisphere, ecosystems wake up in the spring, taking in carbon dioxide and exhaling oxygen as they sprout leaves — and a fleet of Earth-observing satellites tracks the spread of the newly green vegetation.

Meanwhile, in the oceans, microscopic plants drift through the sunlit surface waters and bloom into billions of carbon dioxide-absorbing organisms — and light-detecting instruments on satellites map the swirls of their color.

Satellites have measured the Arctic getting greener, as shrubs expand their range and thrive in warmer temperatures. Observations from space help determine agricultural production globally, and are used in famine early warning detection. As ocean waters warm, satellites have detected a shift in phytoplankton populations across the planet's five great ocean basins — the expansion of "biological deserts" where little life thrives. And as concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere continue to rise and warm the climate, NASA's global understanding of plant life will play a critical role in monitoring carbon as it moves through the Earth system.

OlgaM077 [116]

A spider plant sends out runners that have buds. When planted, the bud grows into a mature plant. The resulting plant has one parent and is <u>genetically identical</u> to the parent.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Reproduction is of two types one is sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction. The asexual reproduction mostly involves only one parent and therefore the off spring that is born is genetically identical with the parent.

whereas in sexual reproduction that involves 2 parents the off spring born contains a genetic makeup that is a combination of 2 parents and thereby not genetically identical.

Why is it important to understand the process of mitosis
Katyanochek1 [597]
It is important to understand because it's the way all cells reproduce (except sperm and egg cells, they do meiosis), and our cells are the essential parts of our whole being.
