Answer:

The correct answer is letter A: sympathetic nervous system.

Explanation:

The autonomic nervous system is composed of the parasympathetic and the sympatetic systems. The parasympathetic is responsible for stimulates “rest-and-digest” activities, which occur during body rest, such as slowing heart rate and lowering blood pressure, adrenaline and blood sugar. The sympathetic responses for “fight-flight-or-freeze” situations. The sympathetic system acts directly (via impulses transmitted by the sympathetic nervous system) and indirectly (via catecholamines) on the cardiovascular system, leading to accelerate heartbeat. Thus, Harry’s physiological responses can be attributed to his sympathetic nervous system.

Compare and contrast visible light and ultra violet rays coming from the sun. A) Ultraviolet waves are energy waves and light is
kari74 [83]

Answer:

C) Both are waves of energy, but ultraviolet waves cannot be seen.

Explanation:

Both visible light and ultraviolet are two manifestations of the same thing: electromagnetic radiation (which is, basically, energy in one of its forms). They both travel empty space as waves, but visible light has a longer wavelength, which means that the distance between succesive peaks of the wave is larger than that of ultraviolet radiation. Visible light just happens to have a wavelength in the range our eyes are capable of seeing, but ultraviolet has a shorter wavelength than that, therefore we cannot see it.

What happens to the sarcoplasmic reticulum when a skeletal myofiber is first stimulated?
Troyanec [42]

calcium is released into the sarcoplasm through gated channels

<h3>What is calcium ?</h3>

The chemical element calcium has the atomic number 20 and the letter Ca as its symbol. Calcium is an alkaline earth metal that reacts with air to create a black oxide-nitride coating. Its heavier homologues barium and strontium are most similar to it in terms of physical and chemical characteristics. It is the third most plentiful metal, behind iron and aluminum, and the fifth most abundant element in the crust of the Earth.

The most prevalent calcium component on Earth is calcium carbonate, which may be found in limestone and the fossilized remains of ancient marine life. Other calcium-rich materials include gypsum, anhydrite, fluorite, and apatite. The word "lime" comes from the Latin word calx, which was made by heating limestone.
