Answer:

The correct answer is "mid-ocean ridges".

Explanation:

Mid-ocean ridges are underwater systems that are seismically active and most of the times have upwelling of magma that causes seafloor spreading. These systems are created by divergent faults located in oceanic plates, causing the formation of submarine mountains which are probably seismic active as mid-ocean ridges. One of the most important mid-ocean ridge is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge located at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

European rabbits were introduced into Australia and quickly spread, reproduced, and became a terrible pest. They eat up to $600

Alina [70]

Answer:

True. This is the case where an invasive species has reduced the genetic diversity of indigenous species.

Explanation:

An invasive species is an exotic, foreign species that takes over a specific habitat or ecosystem and destabilizes it.
Invasive species disrupt the food chains of an ecosystem which may lead to increase in populations of some species while reducing others.
Invasive species compete with indigenous species for food, shelter and mates. As the indigenous species cannot reproduce properly, a reduction in their genetic diversity is the direct result.

The two systems that work together to cause this reaction are the endocrine system that secretes the hormone and the

Simora [160]

Two control systems of the body

Endocrine and Nervous

Endocrine and nervous system similarities

-Work together to maintain homeostasis

-Release ligands (chemical messengers) that bind to cellular receptors on particular target cells

Endocrine and nervous system differences

Endocrine system: -Transmits hormones through blood

-Targets any cell in the body with the correct receptor

-Very widespread

-Exhibits longer reaction times and has longer-lasting effects

Endocrine System

-Composed of ducts and glands that synthesize and secrete hormones

-Hormones are released into the blood and transported throughout the body

Endocrine system regulation growth and development

-Changes measured from birth to puberty

-Hormones help regulate embryonic cell division and differentiation

-Hormones regulate metabolism

How does the endocrine system maintain homeostasis or blood composition and volume

-Hypothalamus

-Hormones regulate blood solute concentrations (ex glucose ions)

-Hormones regulate blood volume, cellular concentration, and platelet numbers

The endocrine system controlling digestive processes

-Trigger digestion when food is in the stomach

-Hormones influence secretory processes and movement of materials in the digestive tract

Endocrine System controlling Reproductive Activities

-Make sure sperm and egg make it to each other

-Hormones affect the development and function of the reproductive system and the expression of sexual behavior

Endocrine Glands

Contain epithelial tissue that makes and releases hormones within a connective tissue framework

Endocrine Organs

-Glands with solely endocrine functions

-Ex: Pituitary, pineal, thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal

Endocrine Cells

-Found in clusters in organs with another function

-Examples in Hypothalamus, Thymus, Heart, Stomach, Liver, Pancreas, Small Intestine, Adipose Connective Tissue

-Pancreases is not an endocrine gland, but it does release hormones

In a motor reflex , such as the patellar tendon reflex, afferent action back to the spinal cord is mediated through which of the

brilliants [131]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B.

Explanation:

The patellar tendon reflex is the kicking movement of the lower leg in response to the tap on patellar cap used to test the L2, L3, and L4 segments of the spinal cord in the body.

The spinal cord interacts with muscles through muscle sensors called muscle spindle which signals after the stretching of the muscle. The signals are sent to the spinal cord through afferent neurons or sensory neurons which starts the reflex action to prevent overstretching of the muscle.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
