Answer:

The correct option is A: Mass activation

Explanation:

The flight-or-fight response that gets activated in these type of situations is attributed to the sympathetic nervous system. It causes the release of adrenaline into the bloodstream and several other changes occur, as mentioned in the question statement, these changes prepare the body to react promptly to the situation at hand.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

The sympathetic nervous system (SNS). it is predominant in dangerous situations.

It provokes the appropriate actions for rapid response such as: increased heart rate, dilated bronchi to promote the entry and exit of gases, increased sweating, decreased intestinal peristalsis to decrease the energy invested in digestion, vasoconstriction of the arteries, dilation of the pupils so that more light enters, etc.

For this reason axons quickly send a response to all these organs through the sympathetic nervous system.

What are the relevant parts of your skull as a whole
prisoha [69]

Answer:

The human skull consists of 22 bones (or 29, including the inner ear bones and hyoid bone) which are mostly connected together by ossified joints, so called sutures. The skull is divided into the braincase (neurocranium) and the facial skeleton (viscerocranium). Its main task is the protection of the most important organ in the human body: the brain.

The brain is almost entirely enclosed by the neurocranium with the exception of the foramen magnum and other foramina at the skull base which serve as entry and exit point for blood vessels and cranial nerves. Also, the skull provides support for all of the facial structures.

Which of these statements partially defines law?
Mila [183]
Raoult's law (/ˈrɑːuːlz/ law) is a law of thermodynamics established by French chemist François-Marie Raoult in 1887. [1] It states that the partial vapor pressure of each component of an ideal mixture of liquids is equal to the vapour pressure of the pure component multiplied by its mole fraction in the mixture. In consequence, the relative lowering of vapour pressure of a dilute solution of nonvolatile solute is equal to the mole fraction of solute in the solution.
Mathematically, Raoult's law for a single component in an ideal solution is stated as
{\displaystyle p_{i}=p_{i}^{\star }x_{i}},
where {\displaystyle p_{i}} is the partial pressure of the component {\displaystyle i} in the gaseous mixture (above the solution), {\displaystyle p_{i}^{\star }} is the vapor pressure of the pure component {\displaystyle i}, and {\displaystyle x_{i}} is the mole fraction of the component {\displaystyle i} in the mixture (in the solution).[2]
Once the components in the solution have reached equilibrium, the total vapor pressure of the solution can be determined by combining Raoult's law with Dalton's law of partial pressures to give
{\displaystyle p=p_{\rm {A}}^{\star }x_{\rm {A}}+p_{\rm {B}}^{\star }x_{\rm {B}}+\cdots }.
If a non-volatile solute (zero vapor pressure, does not evaporate) is dissolved into a solvent to form an ideal solution, the vapor pressure of the final solution will be lower than that of the solvent. The decrease in vapor pressure is directly proportional to the mole fraction of solute in an ideal solution.
{\displaystyle p=p_{\rm {A}}^{\star }x_{\rm {A}}}{\displaystyle \Delta p=p_{\rm {A}}^{\star }-p=p_{\rm {A}}^{\star }(1-x_{\rm {A}})=p_{\rm {A}}^{\star }x_{\rm {B}}}.

Principle of Raoult's LawEdit



Vapor pressure of a binary solution that obeys Raoult's law. The black line shows the total vapor pressure as a function of the mole fraction of component B, and the two green lines are the partial pressures of the two components.
