Answer: b. anterior.

Explanation:

Hypothalamic releasing and inhibiting hormones control the release of other hormones from the pituitary gland and they are secreted by neurons. They enter the anterior pituitary through blood vessels and to do this, <u>there is a bridge of capillaries that connects the hypothalamus, which is a part of the brain, to the anterior pituitary gland</u> and it is called the hypophyseal portal system. This system allows the hypothalamic hormones to be transported to the anterior pituitary without entering the systemic circulation.

So, the secretion of the hormones from the pituitary gland is regulated by releasing and inhibiting hormones from the hypothalamus. The six hormones produced by the anterior pituitary gland are:

  1. luteinizing hormone (LH)
  2. follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
  3. thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
  4. adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
  5. prolactin (PRL)
  6. growth hormone (GH)

Which is the first step that geologists must do to compare rock layers at distant locations? 1.find the absolute age of rocks at
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

2.compare a layer at one location to layers at other locations

Explanation:

Comparing rock layers in distant places can be a challenge for geologists since these layers may have different environmental factors that caused different transformations in them.

Therefore, when it is necessary to establish a comparison between layers of rocks in different ligands, geologists must establish steps to make an efficient comparison and have results consistent with reality. To do this, they must first compare a layer in one location with layers in other locations, assign relative age to a layer in one location, and identify index fossils in one or more layers in one location.

The peripheral nervous system is involved in _____.
drek231 [11]

The peripheral nervous system is involved in both <u>voluntary and involuntary actions.</u>

Explanation:

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is the neural system that resides outside the central nervous system (CNS). This contains nerves which in turn connect with the organs of the body like the sensory organs, glands, blood vessels, muscles etc with the central nervous system (CNS).

The PNS is divided into somatic and autonomic nervous systems.

The somatic nervous system contains sensory and motor nerve fibers which send sensory information and controls motor functions respectively. The voluntary movements of skin, skeletal muscles, bones, and joints are controlled by somatic PNS.

The autonomic nervous system composed of sympathetic, parasympathetic and enteric nervous systems controls the involuntary actions of smooth muscles of the internal visceral organs.
