In hot weather, the testes are protected from the heat by relaxation of the dartos muscle. relaxation of the dartos muscle, cont
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Relaxation of the dartos muscle.

Explanation:

Testes are present in scrotum outside the pelvic cavity to maintain the temperature about 2-3 degrees Celsius below the body temperature as required for sperm production. Dartos muscle is the layer of smooth muscle located in the superficial fascia. The contraction of dartos muscle serves to make the skin of the scrotum wrinkled and tight.

During hot weather, the dartos muscle relaxes and makes the surface of scrotum less wrinkled to increase the loss of the heat from its surface. The increased heat loss from the surface of scrotum due to relaxed dartos muscles keeps the testes protected from heat.

Which of the following is not an observation or inference on which natural selection is based?
olga2289 [7]

Answer: B. Poorly adapted individuals never produce offspring

Explanation:

Natural selection is a theory that states organisms adapts to its environment due to differences in their phenotypes. So, <u>individuals with favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce</u>. It is a key mechanism of evolution, which is the change in traits of a population over generations.

<u>Populations respond to natural selection if they contain heritable variation </u>among them, wich means that individuals differ in the traits they transmit to their offspring.

Because of the environmental selection pressures, individuals produce more offspring than their environment can support. <u>The pressure determines which individuals will survive and reproduce</u>, while others will die because of predation or diseases. So, natural selection is based on the observations of adapted individuals.

drugs that stimulate alpha receptors, causing constriction of peripheral vessels, are group of answer choices autonomic blocking
Dima020 [189]

The Parasympathomimetic<u> </u>branch of the autonomic nervous system is activated by the family of pharmacological drugs known as parasympathomimetics. Agonists are two types of medicines.

The main neurotransmitter of the parasympathetic nervous system, acetylcholine (ACh), is mimicked or modified by parasympathomimetic medications to have their desired effects. Depending on whether they are direct or indirect agonists of acetylcholine ACh, parasympathomimetic drugs fall into one of two basic types. While indirect agonists raise synaptic levels of Acetylcholine ACh by decreasing the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, direct agonists directly bind and activate muscarinic ACh receptors.

Providers of healthcare should keep an eye on patients receiving parasympathomimetic drugs to make sure the treatment has the desired therapeutic impact. Parasympathetic Patients must be continuously monitored by the provider for any potential side effects. Due to the overstimulation of acetylcholine receptors, an overdose may cause a potentially fatal cholinergic crisis. There are several different formulations of parasympathomimetic drugs available to treat acetylcholine. To cure glaucoma and induce miosis during surgical operations, for instance, topical formulations of carbachol and pilocarpine are available for ocular use. Neostigmine is administered parenterally to treat paralytic ileus and act as a bladder agonist.
