Explanation:

The antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as arginine vasopressin (AVP), or argipressin, is a hormone produced in the hypothalamus that is stored and released through the neurohypophysis present in most mammals, including humans. Vasopressin is a peptide hormone that controls the reabsorption of water molecules by concentrating urine and reducing its volume, in the renal tubules, thus affecting tubular permeability. Vasopressin is released primarily in response to changes in serum osmolarity or blood volume increasing peripheral vascular resistance and in turn blood pressure. It receives its name because it plays a key role as a homeostatic regulator of fluids, glucose and salts in the blood.

It is a small hormone (oligopeptide) consisting of nine amino acids:

NH2-Cys-Tyr-Phe-Gln-Asn-Cys-Pro-Arg-Gly-COOH

Vasopressin is a peptide hormone produced by the hypothalamus (supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei), but stored and secreted by the pituitary gland. Most are stored in the back of the pituitary gland (neurohypophysis) in order to be released into the blood. Vasopressin is in high concentrations in the locus coeruleus and in the black substance, which are catecholaminergic nuclei.

Answer:

Angiotensin II atrial natriuretic peptide(ANP) lowers blood pressure.

Explanation:

Increase in plasma volume leads to increase in blood pressure and a decrease in plasma level also leads to a decrease in the blood pressure. ANP is an enzyme which stimulates the decrease in blood levels through certain factors thereby causing a decrease in the blood pressure.

Meanwhile ADH stimulates increase in blood plasma levels thereby increasing the blood pressure.

Compare the properties of the parent and daughter cells in mitosis and meiosis and explain the reason for any differences.
MariettaO [177]

1. Mitosis takes place within somatic cells (cells that make up the body). Meiosis takes place within gamete cells (sex cells). 


2. One single division of the mother cell results in two daughter cells. Two divisions of the mother cell result in four meiotic products or haploid gametes. 


3. A mitotic mother cell can either be haploid or diploid. A meiotic mother cell is always diploid. 


4. The number of chromosomes per nucleus remains the same after division. The meiotic products contain a haploid (n) number of chromosomes in contrast to the (2nd) number of chromosomes in the mother cell. 


5. It is preceded by an S-phase in which the amount of DNA is duplicated. In meiosis, only meiosis I is preceded by an S-phase. 


6. In mitosis, there is no pairing of homologous chromosomes. During prophase I, complete pairing of all homologous chromosomes takes place. 


7. There is no exchange of DNA (crossing-over) between chromosomes. There is at least one crossing-over or DNA exchange per homologous pair of chromosomes. 


8. The centromeres split during anaphase. The centromeres do separate during anaphase II, but not during anaphase I. 


9. The genotype of the daughter cells is identical to that of the mother cells. Meiotic products differ in their genotype from the mother cell. 


10. After mitosis, each daughter cell has exactly same DNA strands. After meiosis, each daughter cell has only half of the DNA strands

Sherry has addison's disease so her ability to produce cortisol is reduced. how does her hypothalamus respond?
Readme [11.4K]
When an individual's cortisol levels are low, such as in the case of people with Addison's disease, the hypothalamus region of the brain releases corticotrophin-releasing hormones. This causes the pituitary gland to also secrete another hormone called, adenocortocotropic hormone into the bloodstream. <span>When the adrenal glands detect these hormones, they secrete cortisol, causing blood levels of cortisol to rise.</span>
