The endocrine system is composed of glands that release insulin, a natural agent that breaks down sugars and glucose in the blood.
Answer:
Volcanoes are renowned for their destructive power.
Explanation:
Volcanoes come in all shapes and sizes. Some volcanoes form majestic mountains, like Mt. Rainier in Washington State, and others have a very low, broad profile. Volcanic land forms are controlled by the geological processes that form them and act on them after they have formed. Thus, a given volcanic land form will be characteristic of the types of material it is made of, which in turn depends on the prior eruptive behavior of the volcano. Although later processes can modify the original land form, we should be able to find clues in the modified form that lead us to conclusions about the original formation process.
Blood flows to the kidneys through the right and left renal arteries. Inside each kidney these branch into smaller arterioles.
The blood is at very high pressure and flows through the arterioles into tiny knot of vessels called the Glomerulus. These are located in the nephrons.
From the glomerulus the blood pressure drops and the blood flows into arterioles which coil around the nephrons. These in turn connect to a series of small veins. These vessels reunite and ultimately form the renal vein.
About one quarter of the total cardiac output (or total blood flow) circulates through the kidneys. This equates to just over 1 litre of blood every minute.
