Answer:

The correct option is d. All of the above contribute to the pinal gland being called the body's timekeeper.

Explanation:

The pineal gland is a reddish-grey pine-cone shape gland present in the brain. It is responsible for the production of melatonin. The melatonin is a hormone which controls the body's sleep cycle and the circadian rhythm.

The melatonin production is stimulated by darkness. Therefore, the melatonin levels are low during the days and increases at night. This helps in regulating the body's sleep cycle and the circadian rhythm.

Thus, the pineal gland is referred to as the body's timekeeper.

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:The final step in both pathways would be the activation of factor X, leading to conversion of prothrombin II to thrombin IIa. Option C.

Explanation: blood coagulation is the processes that leads to blood clot formation. The blood clot formed is made up of fibrin and platelets, which forms hemostatic plug over a wound site. The blood coagulation is made up of two partways that led to the formation of clot. The intrinsic pathway also called contact activation pathway and the extrinsic pathway which is also known as the tissue factor pathway. The both pathways are connected by a common pathway whereby factor X is activated leading to leading to conversion of prothrombin II to thrombin IIa. Thrombin then converts fibrinogen to fibrin( blood clot). I hope this helps. Thanks.
