Answer:
Homeostasis is the process of maintaining a constant internal environment of the body with the help of certain mechanisms such as feedback loops.
Explanation:
Homeostasis refers to the maintenance of a relatively constant internal environment of the body. It includes maintaining several parameters such as acid-base balance, blood glucose level, body' temperature, etc. within the narrow range.
Homeostasis is mainly maintained with the help of negative feedback loops wherein the deviation of any parameter from the normal physiological range is counteracted and restored.
For example, the blood glucose level remains within the range of 70 and 110 milligrams of glucose per 100 milliliters of blood under normal physiological conditions. Any deviation from the range is restored with the help of pancreatic hormones insulin and glucagon.
Answer:
According to the hormone diagram of the menstrual cycle, the woman is not pregnant due to the behavior of progesterone and estrogens, whose levels do not increase, in addition to the absence of human chorionic gonadotropin.
Explanation:
The graph shows the behavior of hormones during a woman's menstrual cycle in the absence of pregnancy.
During a woman's normal cycle, estrogen, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) tend to increase prior to ovulation, reach their peak values at ovulation, and then decline, as shown in the graph. Progesterone, on the other hand, increases after ovulation and decreases if the woman does not become pregnant.
In the case of a pregnant woman:
- <u>Estrogens</u> continue to increase after ovulation, produced by the ovaries and placenta.
- <u>Progesterone</u> also increases its levels, as it is a hormone produced by the ovaries and placenta.
- <u>Hormone human chorionic gonadotropin</u> (HCG) appears and increases during pregnancy, due to the secretory activity of the placenta.
<em><u>The diagram represents the normal cycle of a woman who is not pregnant</u></em>.
Answer: D) Stereotyping
Choice A is false because this involves denying a person to do something based on factors such as religion, race, ethnicity, etc.
Choice B is false because this term involves a crime or suspected crime being committed, or about to be committed. And it also makes the assumption based on a person's race.
Choice C is false since segregation is the separation of people usually by race or ethnicity. Though you could have class based segregation (eg: rich vs poor) and other forms.
Choice D is true because stereotyping is where you lump a bunch of people together based on cultural or societal assumptions. Usually it's in the form of "all ___ people do such and such" where you fill in the blank with a specific race or culture.
