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).

Which statement is accurate about native Americans and the American revolution
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The statement that is most accurate of those listed is Option D.  Regardless of which side they chose, Native Americans lost land during the war.

Explanation:

Before the American Revolution, the expansion of the 13 colonies westward was controlled to some extent by the British Crown. There were laws in place meant to protect Native American lands west of the Appalachian mountains after the British won the lands from the French and Indian war (also known as the Seven Years War, from 1754-1763).  During the American Revolution, there were Native American groups that supported the British and others that supported the Patriots.  However, after the war, the new United States government continued its expansion westward and the Native American groups definitively lost land.

bekas [8.4K]

During the international coronavirus pandemic, many people began acting aggressively toward individuals of Chinese descent, blaming them for the virus even though most of those people had lived in the United States for their entire lives. Those Chinese-Americans were the victim of a process called scapegoating.

What is the definition for scapegoating?

A person or group designated to take the blame for or endure suffering for others. Primarily biblical On Yom Kippur, a goat was released into the wilderness after the high priest figuratively placed the sins of the people upon its head.

What causes scapegoating?

Scapegoats may experience a range of unfavorable effects, such as a decline in social status, financial difficulties, social isolation, and depression. When under pressure, feeling oppressed, or feeling terrified, people are more likely to use scapegoating.
