When information has to cross our corpus callosum, we respond slower than when the information does not cross the corpus callosum.
Corpus callosum is a bundle of nerve fibers that connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres and enables them to communicate. It has been shown that corpus callosum can have both, an inhibitory and excitatory influence on the contralateral hemisphere.
Answer:
The autonomic nervous system is the main neural regulator of circulation and blood pressure in the short term and beat by beat and exerts its function through various reflexes that regulate vasomotor tone, heart rate and cardiac output. At the renal level, the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system is possibly the most important in the maintenance of arterial homeostasis.
Explanation:
Blood pressure is regulated by a series of interrelated autonomic systems and humoral reflexes, which continually adjust the determining elements of the system (heart rate, stroke volume, total peripheral resistance and circulating volume).The effective circulating volume is controlled by a series of reflex systems, which obtain information about the perfusion pressure (baroreceptors in the carotid bulb and aortic arch), plasma osmolarity (hypothalamus) and urinary sodium (distal tubule).The kidney has its own self-regulatory mechanisms. The reduction in renal blood flow is detected at the level of the mesangial cells of the juxtaglomerular apparatus, starting the renin-angiotensin system. The increase in angiotensin II produces on the one hand local vasoconstriction, and on the other hand stimulates the production of aldosterone by the adrenal cortex with the consequent tubular reabsorption of sodium and water.Antidiuretic hormone or vasopressin (released from the hypothalamus by stimulation of arterial baroreceptors and also by stimulation of angiotensin II) also acts at the renal level, which acts as a powerful and water-saving vasoconstrictor in the distal tubule.
In terms of processing in the nervous system, the reactio<span>n was faster for the more simple tasks because it required less processing and therefore small amount of neurons had to travel through out nerve system because our frontal lobe had less delay since there was less to think about.</span>
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Water and air circulate around the world in water currents and wind systems (like prevailing winds) respectively, hence distribute energy and whatever else they are carrying across the globe. This is why polluting the oceans in the equatorial region will have indirect consequences for marine life in the poles.
Pollution of air through emission of greenhouse gases in one part of the globe will contribute to global warming across the world because these emissions will be carried around by prevailing winds and diffuse across the atmosphere.
Global warming also causes climate change that subsequently causes the displacement or migration of organisms when this change in climate is unfavorable
