The hormone that stimulates milk synthesis is

Biology
1 answer:
snow_tiger [21]3 years ago
3 0

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.

Which of the following statements is correct about the position of the foot and ankle complex during running movements?a. The fo
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

b. The foot and ankle should be pointing straight ahead in a dorsiflexed position when it hits the ground

Explanation:

Dorsiflexion is a movement in the ankle where the toes point in an upward direction allowing for correct foot strike if done properly at approx. 15 degrees. As you run, dorsiflexing your foot puts it in an ideal position to absorb the shock of the landing while simultaneously tensing your muscles to spring forward into the next stride which allows a reduced ground contact time per stride, allowing you to run faster and more efficiently.

If a runner has poor dorsiflexion they may experience a ‘loose’ or ‘floppy’ foot due to relaxation at the ankle joint which results in striking the ground through the toes which causes poor force distribution resulting in injuries such as shin splints and runner’s knee.
