It be like that sometimes
Answer: There are two factors that determine the urine flow rate during an osmotic diuresis: the rate of excretion of effective osmoles in the urine and the effective osmolality of the interstitial compartment of the renal medulla.
The normal range for 24-hour urine volume is 800 to 2,000 milliliters per day (with a normal fluid intake of about 2 liters per day).
Answer: The correct answer is -
D) giraffes having increasingly longer necks over time.
Natural selection is an evolutionary mechanism that was proposed by Darwin.
According to this mechanism, organisms that are better capable of adapting to their changing environmental conditions, survive and increase their number through reproduction whereas other are eliminated from the population.
Example - Long neck of Giraffe, which is much elongated, lofty stature, that was beautifully adapted for browsing on the higher tree branches. This was an adaptation with slow and gradual change in the gene frequency as the lower vegetation was eaten by other animals. Due to this, giraffes had to search for other source (that was higher tree branches).
This is considered as a peculiar example of natural selection.
Answer:
B. decreases salivation and increases blood pressure
Explanation:
The sympathetic nervous system is part of the autonomous nervous system which controls involuntary responses of the body such as salivation and blood pressure.
The sympathetic nervous system is majorly responsible for body actions that are produced when threat is perceived. It generates responses referred to as the “fight or flight” response. Examples of such responses include, increased breathing, increased high blood pressure, dilation, decreased salivation, etc.
Activation of the sympathetic nervous system would result in rise in the blood pressure as can be witnessed by someone whose body has perceived a threat or reacting to a stressful situation.
The control of salivary production by the sympathetic nervous system leads to the release of noradrenaline which acts on certain receptors that results in decrease in the production of saliva. This is evident in a person that is facing a threat also.
