If the outside temperature decreases by 20 degrees Celsius, what will happen to a reptile’s body temperature?

The reptile's body temperature rises when the external temperature rises. When the temperature drops, so does his body temperature. If a reptile feels cold because the external temperatures have made his blood cold, he'll lie in the sun to warm up. However, if the external temperature is too high, he scurries under a rock, dives in a pool or finds some kind of shade where he can cool down. Reptiles and other animals with ectothermic systems are vulnerable to extreme changes in temperature because they can't control their temperatures internally. They can control their body temperatures only by moving to an environment with a suitable ambient temperature.

A nursing instructor is explaining the role of vascular smooth muscle cells in relation to increases in the systemic circulation
Anettt [7]

Answer:

Norepinephrine

Explanation:

Nerve cells and circulating hormones are the one responsible for vasoconstriction of the vessel walls, as they do not enter the tunica media of the blood vessel, the nerves do not synapse directly on the smooth muscle cells. Instead, they release the neurotransmitter, norepinephrine, which diffuses into the media and acts on the nearby smooth muscle cells, which result in contraction of the entire muscle cell layer and thus reducing the radius of the vessel lumen.

Ugo [173]
The answer to this question would be: electron microscope

Cilia is a part of the paramecium membrane that looks like hairy projection. The size of cilia is too small to be examined closely using the light microscope. In this case, the electron microscope can provide a bigger magnification.
