Biology
1 answer:
Anarel [89]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

oxytocin

Explanation:

The pituitary gland is a small gland that divides into two distinct portions, the anterior and posterior lobes, and is located at the base of the brain.

The anterior pituitary, also known as the adenohypophysis, secretes six important peptide hormones, they are:

  • The growth hormone;
  • Adrenocorticotropin;
  • The thyroid stimulating hormone;
  • Prolactin;
  • Two gonadotropic homons - FSH and LH;

Oxytocin is not a hormone produced by the anterior pituitary but by the posterior pituitary, which is known as the neurohypophysis.

does the changing seasons remove co2 from the air ? i think it might due to increased plant grwoth but im unsure.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
I don't think changing seasons can REMOVE CO2 from the air, but I do think instead it could add it to the air. It's a long process that involves several ecosystems and stuff. But, as the climate is getting warmer, ice caps are melting and within these ice caps... there are trapped bubbles of CO2 that are released ( I am not sure if this adds a lot of CO2 to the atmosphere, but I am sure that it does contribute to CO2 concentration). 

In relation to your last statement... plant growth would actually reduce CO2 in the air because of the process of photosynthesis. Plants take in CO2 and give out O2 for us to breathe. In turn we conduct cellular respiration in which we take in the O2 and give out the CO2. So, plants are actually one good solution for decreasing CO2 levels.

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

When a nerve impulse reaches the end of an axon, the axon releases chemicals called neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters travel across the synapse between the axon and the dendrite of the next neuron.

Explanation:

The binding allows the nerve impulse to travel through the receiving neuron.
