The pituitary gland is the sort of like, the nucleus of the endocrine system (essentially the system of cell to cell communication whereby an endocrine cell in a gland can send a signal to a target cell via secretions of hormones into the blood stream). It is responsible for the secretion of Human Growth Hormone, Antidiuretic Hormone (for osmoregulation), Hormones pertaining to secondary sexual characteristics, Thyroid stimulating hormone, Prolactin (to do with breast milk production during gestation) and Adrenocorticotrophic hormone (to do with stimulating cortisol, which is to do with stress).

Do political parties today argue about the same issues that followers of Hamilton and Jefferson argued about?
tia_tia [17]
It really depends on the issues you are talking about. When it comes to basic human rights like life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness I would say yes. However, I don’t hunk they were talking about equality in the lgbt+ community, aborti*n, or gun control. Hope this helped

Piper is taking an intelligence test that provides a single score, while Taylor is taking a test that has separate scores for fo
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Piper's test is the Stanford Binet, and Taylor's test is the WAIS (Weschler Adult Intelligence Scale).

Explanation:

Both test are used to <em>measure one's </em><em>intelligence</em> but they both differ in the way of measurement.

Let's break them down:

  • Stanford Binet: it is divided into 4 scales (verbal reasoning, visual/abstract reasoning, quantitative reasoning and short-term memory). All these give a single score, known as the G Factor; <em>general intelligence. </em>
  • WAIS: it measures <em>different capacities </em>and provides scores for each of them. It measures verbal comprehension, perceptive reasoning, work memory and processing speed.

In this case, Piper is taking the Stanford Binet since she will receive a single score, while Taylor is taking the WAIS and will receive 4 separate scores for each.
