Lydia is walking in the woods at night to observe owls. She hears a rustling behind a tree, which startled her and causes her bo

dy to go into a fight or flight response as the sympathetic nervous system is activated. What is likely to happen to her digestive system during this response?

Answer:

The digestive system will try to save energy, so through the peripheral nervous system, the digestive system will slow down digestion.

Explanation:

Whenever we are at risk, fear or stress, our nervous systems activate a mechanism well known to physicians and physiologists: the so-called fight and flight reaction. In the presence of threatening stimuli, whether real or even imaginary, there is activation of the autonomic nervous system, more precisely the sympathetic nervous system, responsible for the release of important substances so that the body can choose between fighting or escaping the threatening stimulus. This seemingly bad and feared stress response is responsible for maintaining life and is extremely essential to our bodies.

At this point, some reactions in the body are activated, such as increased adrenaline secretion from the adrenal gland marrow; increased activity of sweat glands, pupil dilation, inhibition of urinary bladder muscles, among others. One of the reactions that is important to mention is the slowing of digestion caused by the digestive system; This slowdown occurs because blood flow is directed away from the digestive tract. All of this is done as an organism strategy to save energy.

Two cell divisions mitosis or meiosis
Troyanec [42]
Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells.[1]Cell division usually occurs as part of a larger cell cycle. In eukaryotes, there are two distinct types of cell division: a vegetative division, whereby each daughter cell is genetically identical to the parent cell (mitosis),[2] and a reproductive cell division, whereby the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells is reduced by half to produce haploid gametes(meiosis). Meiosis results in four haploid daughter cells by undergoing one round of DNA replication followed by two divisions. Homologous chromosomes are separated in the first division, and sister chromatids are separated in the second division. Both of these cell division cycles are used in the process of sexual reproduction at some point in their life cycle. Both are believed to be present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor.

Prokaryotes (bacteria) undergo a vegetative cell division known as binary fission, where their genetic material is segregated equally into two daughter cells. All cell divisions, regardless of organism, are preceded by a single round of DNA replication.

For simple unicellular microorganisms such as the amoeba, one cell division is equivalent to reproduction – an entire new organism is created. On a larger scale, mitotic cell division can create progeny from multicellular organisms, such as plants that grow from cuttings. Mitotic cell division enables sexually reproducing organisms to develop from the one-celled zygote, which itself was produced by meiotic cell division from gametes. After growth, cell division by mitosis allows for continual construction and repair of the organism.[3] The human body experiences about 10 quadrillion cell divisions in a lifetime.[4]

The primary concern of cell division is the maintenance of the original cell's genome. Before division can occur, the genomic information that is stored in chromosomes must be replicated, and the duplicated genome must be separated cleanly between cells.[5] A great deal of cellular infrastructure is involved in keeping genomic information consistent between generations.
