The correct answer is hypothalamus; autonomic.
The General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) is the sequence of physiological processes which occur when we are exposed to a stressor. GAS is comprised of three stages which are the alarm, the resistance, and the exhaustion phase.

The first stage, known as the alarm phase, involves the fight or flight response, which is the natural reaction when under threat. A distress signal is sent by the amygdala to the hypothalamus, which in turn activates the sympathetic branch of the autonomous nervous system.

Sometimes the microvilli on the epithelial cells lining the proximal tubule are destroyed. What effect would this have?
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Reduced reabsorption of salts and nutrients from the proximal tubule.

Explanation:

The proximal convoluted tubules are the site for reabsorption of the largest amount of solute and water from the filtered fluid. It reabsorbs 65% of water, electrolytes such as Na+ and K+, almost 100% of the filtered glucose and amino acids and other electrolytes such as Ca2+, Mg2+, etc.

The simple cuboidal epithelial cells of the proximal convoluted tubule have a prominent brush border of microvilli on their apical surface. These microvilli serve to increase the surface area for reabsorption and secretion. Destruction of these microvilli would reduce the reabsorption of the above-mentioned salts and nutrients from proximal convoluted tubules.

What passes through a cell using passive transport?
Tanzania [10]
Passive transport is a movement ofbiochemicals and other atomic or molecularsubstances across cell membranes without need of energy input. Unlike active transport, it does not require an input of cellular energy because it is instead driven by the tendency of the system to grow in entropy. The rate of passive transport depends on thepermeability of the cell membrane, which, in turn, depends on the organization and characteristics of the membrane lipids andproteins. The four main kinds of passive transport are simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, filtration and osmosis.
