Answer: Prolactin

Explanation: During breastfeeding the anterior pituitary gland in the brain releases hormone prolactin as part of positive feedback mechanism. A mothers alveoli will collect nutrients from the blood and convert them into milk. Another hormone oxytocin, causes the muscles around the breast to eject milk (a let-down reflex) whilst a baby is sucking.

A sucking baby is actually a positive feedback that causes the brain to release more prolactin, which in turn causes the alveoli to convert more sugars and nutrients into milk.

The muscular system helps with ____ and the skeletal system helps with ____. Question 1 options: movement; oxygen exchange movem
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is movement; structure.

The muscular system helps with <u>movement</u> and the skeletal system helps with <u>structure</u>.

Explanation:

The human muscular system constitutes 40% of the total weight of our body and is made up of three types of muscles, which, together with different tendons and thanks to their contraction capacities, allow us to move. The muscular system and the function of the muscles allow the movement of our body and it is the one that works in tune with other systems of our body to guarantee normal general functioning..The skeletal system is the set of organs that support, shape, structure and protect the body. The skeleton is a dynamic structure, specifically the axial skeleton, it is to serve as a support or as a scaffold that supports the organs and structures of the body. This is how bones together with muscles work as a team to allow the mobility of the human body.

Molodets [167]

Answer:

The correct answer is DNA or RNA. Viral chromosomes exist in a variety of conformations and can be made up of <u>DNA or RNA</u>

Explanation:

The hereditary material of viruses is organized into chromosomes of different types. From the genetic point of view, viruses can be classified into DNA or RNA viruses, double helix or single helix, and circular or linear, that is, viral chromosomes are linear or circular molecules of DNA or RNA. Viruses can be classified according to the type of organism they parasitize in: Bacteriophages or phages, animal viruses and plant-type viruses. Viral chromosomes are also subject to the recombination process, this happens when an individual cell is infected simultaneously by two mutant strains of a virus.

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Receptors are highly specific and only have high affinity for those ligands for whom they are specific.

Explanation:

Receptors are proteins that receive a stimulus or bind a ligand and mediate effects via receptor effector system.

Receptors are macromolecules that are highly specific.

The affinity between the ligand and the receptors is determind by the disassociation constant Kd.

The receptors produce maximun effect when an appropriate specific stimulus is present.

Different recptors types are present for different ligands.

For example, muscrinic receptors are specific for acetycholine and adrenergic receptors are specific for adrenaline/nor adrenaline.

It is important to know the specificity so that the body remains in a state of balance.
