The correct answer is HPA axis.

The Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis is one of the most important neuroendocrine systems, which regulates the stress response and other functions such as the digestion, mood, emotions and the immune system.

The hypothalamus, when triggered by a possible stressor, releases two hormones; the vasopressin and the corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). CRH, in turn, triggers the release of the adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) from the pituitary gland. As a result of the secretion of ACTH, cortisol is secreted by the adrenal cortex.

Cortisol is a steroid hormone, considered to be our body's stress hormone.

In photosynthesis, redox reactions ultimately transfer electrons from ______ to ______.

german

The correct answer is: D) H2O… CO2

Redox reactions are reactions of reduction (molecules tend to gain electrons) and oxidation (molecules tend to lose electrons).

Photosynthesis is a set of redox reactions. In photosynthesis electrons are removed from water (H2O) to carbon dioxide CO2 and then used to turn CO2 into organic compounds.

The first step: Oxygen in water is oxidized (light energy required)

The second step: Carbon in CO2 is reduced; sugar is formed (dark reaction).

Now that you have reviewed normal blood flow, why does a patient with left-sided heart failure have a low systolic blood pressur

Mnenie [13.5K]

<span>The Left-sided Problem of the heart involves the lack of enough supply of oxygen induced blood and the blood which is unable to reach the heart goes to lungs causing breath issues. Another issue with this problem is that left side of the heart pumps blood into the body, so when it fails, less blood will be pumped into the arteries.</span>
