The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Question: Impulses originating in the part of the brain called the medulla would most directly affect which body structure?

a. A leg muscle

b. A ligament

c. An arm bone

d. The heart

Answer:

d. The heart

Explanation:

The medulla oblongata contains a number of reflex centers for regulating vital body functions such as heartbeat, breathing, and vasoconstriction. The medulla contains several nuclei, a collection of neuronal cell bodies.

For example, impulses originated in the cardiovascular center regulates the rate and force of the heartbeat and the diameter of blood vessels. Impulses from the cardiovascular center flow along sympathetic and parasympathetic neurons. An increase in sympathetic stimulation from the cardiovascular center of medulla increases heart rate and contractility while a decrease in sympathetic stimulation decreases heart rate and contractility.

If an animal fossil was found in a rock, what would be the best way to determine its absolute age?
LiRa [457]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Absolute age is defined as the numeric age of fossils.

To identify the absolute age of a fossil,  the amount of certain radioactive elements in the rock are measured. When fossils are formed in the rocks, a small amounts of radioactive elements is included in it. The process to identify age of fossil using radioactive elements is known radiometric dating. So, radioactive isotope and its decay product gives absolute age of fossils.

Hence, the correct answer is "D".

What steps do you take to make a good science fair project?
Irina-Kira [14]

   Pick a topic.

   Research.

   Hypothesis.

   Experiment.

   Construct an exhibit for results.

   Write a report.

   Practice presenting.

Pick something you are interested in, something you'd like to think about and know more about

Then do some background research on the topic.

Decide whether you can state a hypothesis related to the topic (that is, a cause and effect statement that you can test), and follow the strict method listed above, or whether you will just observe something.

Design and carry out your research, keeping careful records of everything you do or see and your results or observations.

Construct an exhibit or display to show and explain to others what you hoped to test.

Write a short report that also states the same things as the exhibit or display, and also gives the sources of your background research.

Practice describing your project and results, so you will be ready for visitors to your exhibit at the science fair.
