<u>Answer</u>: Option D Epinephrine widens the air passageways in the lungs.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Adrenal glands are endocrine glands which are located above the kidneys.
  • The adrenal glands produces hormones form the cortex as well as medulla.
  • The hormones produced from the cortex are mineralocorticoids , glucocorticoids and androgens.
  • The medulla produces adrenaline and nor adrenaline.
  • The functions of some of the hormones are as follows:
  1. <em>Cortisol</em> is a glucorticoid which is released when blood glucose is low.

2.<em>Aldosterone</em> is a mineralocorticoid which is used for sodium conservation in the body.

3.<em>Nor</em> <em>epinephrine</em> is used in flight and fight responses causing arousal, alertness, anxiety etc.

4.<em>Epinephrine</em> is also involved in flight and fight responses it increases blood flow to muscles, dilates pupil , and relaxes the muscles and thus, also leads to widening of the air passageways in the lungs.

Thus, from the functions of all the above mentioned hormones it can be concluded that <em>epinephrine widens the air passageway of the lungs.</em>

How can a build-up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increase Earth's global temperature?
Dafna11 [192]
 Due to carbon dioxide sunlight get trapped in earth's atmosphere, increases the temperature and results in global warming. Due to this glaciers melt and sea level increases and hence coastal areas may flood. The sun's rays reach us in the form of visible light, and raise the temperature of earth. This heat energy warms the earth then goes back into space, and so the temperature remains in balance.

sleet_krkn [62]

In the dark, an object is more clearly seen when viewed in peripheral vision than when viewed directly, this phenomenon occurs because the rods located in the retina are:<u> more </u><u>sensitive</u><u> in the dark than </u><u>cones</u>.

The retina extends through the posterior portion of the eyeball is the innermost layer and in it are the photoreceptors: cones and rods.

Rods and cones are the two types of photoreceptor cells in vertebrates that capture light energy (photons) and convert it into electrical signals.

  • The rods are sensitive to changes in light, since their detection thresholds are low, so they only come into operation when the light intensity is low (scotopic vision or night vision).

  • Scotopic vision has relatively low acuity, as the details of an object cannot be discerned or its color appreciated.

  • On the contrary, cones have a much higher threshold for light, they are responsible for daytime vision (photopic vision) and their mission is to detect colors and shapes (details).

Therefore, we can conclude that in the dark, an object is more clearly seen when viewed in peripheral vision than when viewed directly, this phenomenon occurs because the rods located in the retina are: more sensitive in the dark.
