Answer:

B. They're ductless glands.

Explanation:

The adrenals are glands located one over each kidney, they have no ducts, but distinct secretory tissues, the outer part being the cortex, while the inner part is the medulla.

Adrenal glands are responsible for producing various <u>hormones</u>, such as adrenaline (a hormone that prepares the body to perform physical activities and physical efforts) and noradrenaline (whose main function is to keep blood pressure at normal levels). Both are produced in the adrenal medulla from biochemical modifications of tyrosine.

In addition, they also secrete aldosterone, the hormone responsible for salt resorption by the kidneys, and cortisol, which helps control stress and decrease inflammation.

madreJ [45]

The correct answer is B. Contact comfort

Explanation:

Studies with Rhesus monkeys were carried out by the psychologists Harry Harlow to study psychological and emotional aspects related to maternal separation and isolation. In this experiment, Harlow used baby monkeys and observed their behavior in different situations that included separating the baby and the mother, providing a fake mother, isolating baby monkeys for a long time and allowing baby monkeys to choose between their mother or food. The results of this experiment showed mother-infant emotional bonds were key for the development and socialization of monkeys, this could be explained as mother monkeys provided contact comfort which supported a positive development and prevailed over food or nourishment.

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

The question lacks options, the options are:

A. understand the viewpoint of other people.

B. realize that the term heavy describes an object one way and the term big describes it another way

C. understand that six ounces of liquid in a jar and six ounces in an elongated tube are equal.

The answer is C

Explanation:

Piaget proposed the theory of cognitive development, which talks about how human intelligence is developed. Piaget worked with Children because he believed they played a significant role in the development of cognitive intelligence. Based on his work, he proposed four stages of cognitive development viz: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational and formal operational stages.

However, in the preoperational stage, Piaget described children between ages 2-7 as being in this stage of cognitive development where they are yet to comprehend mental logic. One characteristics of this stage is CONSERVATION, which is the ability to know that changing a substance's appearance doesn't change the properties of that substance. Piaget proposed that Children between the ages of 2-7 lacked this conservative characteristics.

He performed an experiment where he used two beakers with the same amount of liquid. He then emptied the contents of one of the previous beakers into a new beaker with different shape (longer). Piaget was able to notice that Children at the pre-operational stage were unable to understand that the contents of the two beakers (longer one and previous beaker) were still the same despite the beaker has been changed.

Hence, according to Piaget, a child has acquired the cognitive skill of conservation when he/she is able to understand that six ounces of liquid in a jar and six ounces in an elongated tube are equal.
