glycemia?

1 answer:
kykrilka [37]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

  • glucagon
  • epinephrine
  • cortisol
  • growth hormone

Explanation:

Hypoglycemia is a dizzying drop in blood sugar levels. When this occurs, symptoms such as dizziness, pallor and mental confusion arise. This problem is more common in patients with diabetes due to blood glucose fluctuation, but can also occur in completely healthy individuals who have spent several hours without eating.

During a hypoglycemic crisis, the patient should have a glass of orange juice, or non-diet soda, or half a glass of water sweetened with a sugar spoon, or suck on candy to replenish glucose levels. In addition, the body itself attempts to combat hypoglycemia by releasing the hormones glucagon, epinephrine, cortisol and growth hormone.

Fully describe a dog ?

Good Afternoon,

I just want to know this source was from Wiki itself so that i dont be classified as plagiarism, i have been granted personal authorization to use it for educational purposes, so thanks to Wiki, here you go :)


"The domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris or Canis familiaris) is a member of genus Canis (canines) that forms part of the wolf-like canids, and is the most widely abundant carnivore. The dog and the extant gray wolf are sister taxa, with modern wolves not closely related to the wolves that were first domesticated. The dog was the first domesticated species and has been selectively bred over millennia for various behaviors, sensory capabilities, and physical attributes.

Their long association with humans has led dogs to be uniquely attuned to human behavior and they are able to thrive on a starch-rich diet that would be inadequate for other canid species. Dogs vary widely in shape, size and colours. Dogs perform many roles for people, such as hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, assisting police and military, companionship and, more recently, aiding handicapped individuals. This influence on human society has given them the sobriquet "man's best friend"."

Thank you,

Darian D.
