Answer:

The correct option is <u>C. The nervous system when the brain regulates the body's breathing and heart rate.</u>

Explanation:

The main function of the respiratory system is to exchange oxygen for carbon dioxide in the body.

The brain controls the rate at which the heart pumps blood. The pumping of the heart supplies oxygenated blood to other parts of the body. Hence, the rate at which heart pumps blood is very important to maintain homeostasis of the respiratory system.

The brain regulates the rate at which a person breathes. This rate is very important to breathe in the right amount of oxygen and to breathe out the right amount of carbon dioxide.

lara31 [8.8K]

Ans. (C).Progesterone promotes fertility because its levels rise during ovulation and immediately after.

Progesterone is a female sex-hormone, produced in the ovaries right after ovulation and its level rise immediately after ovulation (as shown in graph). A thick, and proper uterine lining is important for the implantation of zygote in the uterine wall.

Progesterone has the most influence on a secure pregnancy as it promotes the thickening and maintenance of uterine lining. Low levels of progesterone makes it difficult to get pregnant as zygote cannot implant properly.
