The correct answer is fight or flight.
The fight or flight response also called acute stress response, is a physiological response to a perceived attack, threat or in general any stressful event. This reaction consists the first stage of the general adaptation syndrome, which is the mechanism that regulates the response to stressful situations.
This response consists of an activation of the autonomic nervous system and a cascade of hormones, including catecholamines, cortisol, estrogen, testosterone, and dopamine. This hormonal cascade results in many physiological changes which prepare the body for action.
Answer: The following statements <em>comparing respiration in fish and in mammals</em> is correct:
- The movement of the respiratory medium in mammals is bidirectional, but in fish it is unidirectional.
Explanation:
<u>Breathing </u>is the process by which living beings <em>exchange gases</em> with the external environment. It consists of the <u>entry of oxygen</u> into the body of a living being and the <u>exit of carbon dioxide</u> from it .
Active ventilation occurs if the animal produces the currents (of air or water) that flow to and from its respiratory membranes. It can be :
- Unidirectional. (air or water is pumped onto the respiratory membrane in only one direction).
- Bidirectional. (air or water is transported to the respiratory membrane and moves away from it through the same route like in the mammals).
Answer:
Explanation:
With much lower gravity and much less air resistance, the golf ball will stay airborne longer and travel farther.
Answer:
Water pollution may be defined as the contamination of the unwanted substance or pollutant with water that changes the normal characteristics of water. Three main contributors of ground water are as follows:
Chemical farming: The use of pesticides and fertilizers in the fields and its direct run off in river and groundwater causes the water pollution.
Industrial waste: The industrial waste consists of harmful chemicals and heavy metals. The direct discharge of chemical waste in the lakes, ground water and ponds makes the water dirty and causes water pollution.
Effluent from waste water treatment plant: The effluent and the harmful chemical waste release from the waste water treatment plant is the major contributor to the ground water. The effluents mix with the ground water and changes the ground water property.
