Answer:

The correct answer is option C "The pressure change causes the organ of Corti to vibrate vertically".

Explanation:

The organ of Corti is an important structure for auditory perception that acts as a receptor organ for hearing.  The organ of Corti is located in the mammalian cochlea and it allows for the transduction of auditory signals into nerve impulses according to the vibrations that are received from external sources. If the receiving sounds comes from the stapes pushing against membrane covering the oval window, the pressure change will causes the organ of Corti to vibrate vertically. Stimulus from membrane covering the oval window are sent to the organ of Corti, which responds by vibrating vertically.

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

12th May at 4.17 PM

Explanation:

This is because this is during the low tides and the low tide is at its lowest, at -0.7, m than any other date or time of the month. This means that most of the shoreline has receded deep into the ocean and exposed most of the continental shelf than any other time. This leaves rooms for more sea shells to be exposed and easily collected.

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) work together in maintaining osmoregulatory homeo
julsineya [31]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- ADH alters the reabsorption of water and RAAS leads to the reabsorption of sodium ions.

Explanation:

To maintain the osmolarity of the blood in the human body, the body activates the RAAS pathway and the production of ADH.

RAAS pathway gets activated when the receptors sense low blood pressure in the body. This activates the production of renin from the juxtaglomerular cells of the body which converts the angiotensin to angiotensin I and later angiotensin II.

This allows the reabsorption of sodium ions in the blood through proximal and distal tubules in the nephron.  This activates the synthesis of aldosterone which increase the permeability to sodium ions.

The Antidiuretic hormone helps regulate the low blood pressure by adding aquaporins to the distal tubule membrane which help absorb the water.

Thus, ADH alters the reabsorption of water and RAAS leads to the reabsorption of sodium ions is the correct
