When the body senses a state of hypoperfusion, the sympathetic nervous system releases epinephrine, the effects of which?

1 answer:

4 0

Heart rate is controlled by the two branches of the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) releases the hormones (catecholamines - epinephrine and norepinephrine) to accelerate the heart rate. The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) releases the hormone acetylcholine to slow the heart rate. Such factors as stress, caffeine, and excitement may temporarily accelerate your heart rate, while meditating or taking slow, deep breaths may help to slow your heart rate.

However what Hooke really observed was the dead cell dividers of plant cells (cork) as it showed up under the magnifying lens.</span>

How does making models help scientists observe ...????<br>HELP

olga nikolaevna [1]

Building models doesn't actually help scientists observe phenomena. Scientists build models to describe how nature and systems operate then make observations to see if their models match what they observe. Models which don't match what they observe are either alterated or scrapped. Good models are kept and used by the scientific community.

When one species of an ecosystem is endangered, other species that interact with or depend on it are never negatively impacted d

Brums [2.3K]

The statement above is FALSE.
When a particular specie in an ecosystem is endangered, other species that interact with it will be negatively affected and the ecosystem may be throw out of balance. This is because all the components of the ecosystem depend on one another for survival.
