Answer:

progesterone

Explanation:

Progesterone, unlike estrogen, has no activity on determining female sexual characteristics. Progesterone activity is to prepare the uterus for possible pregnancy by growing the endometrial lining of the uterus and receiving the fertilized egg and stimulating milk production.

Progesterone is directly responsible for maintaining and sustaining the fetus in the womb, stimulating, during the first two weeks of pregnancy, the fallopian tube and endometrial glands to secrete nutrients essential for the zygote. Uterine contractions are inhibited to prevent the fetus being expelled as it blocks prostaglandin production and decreases oxytocin sensitivity.

Answer:

Exercise is important for the body to function properly.

Explanation:

Exercise helps a person to maintain the oxygen amounts in the body. Exercise, as such, enhances and regulates almost every system of the body including the nervous, respiratory, circulatory and hormonal systems.

The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system controls the physical activities in a person's body by detecting the low levels of oxygen and increasing amounts of carbon dioxide in the body.

The dominant allele is D and causes dimples and the recessive allele is d and causes no dimples. How would a geneticist describe

SSSSS [86.1K]

A geneticist describes the phenotype of an individual with the alleles dd as homo-zygous recessive. In heterozygous individuals, it is masked by the dominant allele.

<h3>Dominant and recessive alleles</h3>

In diploid organisms, an individual receives two gene forms or 'alleles' for the same gene locus.

An individual is heterozygous when receives two different alleles for the same gene locus, whereas an individual is homo-zygous when receives the same alleles for a gene locus.

In cases of complete dominance, the dominant allele completely masks the recessive allele in heterozygous individuals.

andreev551 [17]

Answer:Answer: 1) (a) The left lobe of the Liver is located in Left Upper Quadrant while the main part of the Liver is located in the Right Upper Quadrant.

(b) The liver is located in both the right hypochondriac region and the epigastric region

2) (a) The stomach is is located in the Left Upper Quadrant (LUQ)

(b) The stomach is majorly located in the epigastric region and the Left Hypochondriac Region.

3) (a)The Spleen is located at the Left Upper Quadrant (LUQ)

(b) The regions the Spleen are located at are the Left Hypochondriac Region, Epigastric Region and Left Lumbar

4) (a) The Gall Bladder is located at the Right Upper Quadrant

5) (a)The Appendix is located in the Right Lower Quadrant

(b) The Appendix is located in the Right Iliac region.

6) (a) The Left kidney is located at the Left Upper Quadrant

(b) The left kidney cuts across the Left Hypochondriac Region, Right Lumbar and the Left Lumbar.

7) (a) The right Ovary is located at the Right Lower Quadrant

(b) The region of the right ovary is the hypogastric region.

8) (a) The Uterus is located at both the Right Lower Quadrant and Left Lower Quadrant.

(b) The Uterus is located in the hypogastric region of the abdomen.

Explanation: In medicine, the practitioners divide the lower part of the body known as the 'abdomen' with imaginary lines ( one vertical and one horizontal) to form the 'Quadrants' and (two vertical and two horizontal) the 'Regions'. The Quadrants are divided into four main parts:

1) Left Upper Quadrant (LUQ)

2) Right Upper Quadrant (RUQ)

3) Left Lower Quadrant (LLQ)

4) Right Lower Quadrant (RLQ)

The regions are divided into nine parts:

1) Left Hypochondriac Region

2) Right Hypochondriac Region

3) Epigastric Region

4) Left Lumbar Region

5) Right Lumbar Region

6) Umbilical Region

7) Right Iliac/Inguinal Region

8) Left Iliac/Inguinal Region

9) Hypogastric Region.

The abdomen is divided into regions in order to help medical practitioners and students easily understand the abdominal area of the body as well as the human anatomy. It also helps them provide preliminary diagnosis and treatment based on pain emanating from each region or quadrant.
