Answer: C. Sympathetic nervous system

Explanation: The sympathetic nervous system is a part of the involuntary or autonomic nervous system, this is the system in the body that regulates the blood pressure, body temperature, pupil dilation, sweating and all the involuntary actions. It helps adjust the body fast enough to take action or react to stimuli without consciousness. When in the face of danger, let say for example, a snake coming towards you, a car coming towards you or hearing disturbing sounds in the dark. You next action or respond will be either to stand and fight or run away, The system responsible for that action (fight or flight) is the sympathetic nervous system.

andre [41]

Answer:

The answer is Gender tracking.

Explanation:

The concept of gender tracking was developed within gender studies to describe the differentiation of careers and academic fields on the function of gender. It has been discovered that academic fields are largely gendered, engineering and sciences such as physics or biology, have a higher rate of men and social and humanistic sciences have a higher rate of women. According to gender studies, this gender tracking is institutionalized and can begin as early as preschool.  It lies on gender stereotypes and expectations, the belief that women's academic abilities are only suitable for certain types of careers and that those same careers can't be performed by men.

Gender tracking has many consequences for men and for women, but especially for women; it impacts social status, education and earning potential.
