Answer:

This hormonal control of blood glucose levels is an examples of negative feedback response.

Explanation:

The blood glucose concentration maintain their concentration through negative feedback mechanisms.Alpha and beta cell present in pancreas. Alpha and beta cell  produced insulin and glucagon which act as a antagonistic hormones and control blood glucose level.

Insulin is secreted by beta cell.Beta cell secreted insulin when glucose level increased in the blood.Insulin helps to stimulate  liver to absorb glucose.Liver convert glucose to glycogen and adipose cells convert the glucose to the fat.In response, glucose concentration decreases in the blood, and insulin secretion discontinues (through negative feedback from declining levels of glucose)

Glucagon is secreted by alpha cells. when the concentration of blood glucose level drops then alpha cells secrete glucagon into the blood.Glucagon stimulates the liver for release of glucose. When blood glucose levels return to normal then glucagon secretion stopped.Its a negative feedback response.

Create an explicit equation for each recursively-defined sequence below.
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

  t(n) = 3·5^(n-1)

Explanation:

The recursive formula describes a sequence in which each term is 5 times the one before it. This is a geometric sequence with common ratio 5 and a first term that is said to be 3.

As you know, the generic formula for a geometric sequence is ...

  an = a1·r^(n-1)

For a1 = 3, r = 5, and a sequence named "t", this is ...

  t(n) = 3·5^(n-1)

The somatic motor division consists of somatic motor neurons that innervate cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscle cells. The soma
juin [17]

Answer: FALSE

Explanation:

The nervous system is the system that detects and responds to changes inside and outside the body. This system consists of the brain, the spinal cord and peripheral nerves. The structure and organisation of the tissues that form these components enables rapid communication between different parts of the body.

Parts of the nervous system includes:

--> Central Nervous System ( consists of the brain and spinal cord)

--> Peripheral Nervous System ( consists of nerves outside the brain and spinal cord).The two functional parts of the peripheral nervous system are made up of the sensory (afferent) and motor (efferent). The motor division is involved in activities that are voluntary (somatic nervous system) and involuntary (autonomic nervous system).

The somatic motor division consists of somatic motor neurons that innervates ONLY the SKELETAL MUSCLE for its voluntary actions while the autonomic motor neurons innervates the cardiac and smooth muscles. Therefore the statement is FALSE
