What effect does epinephrine/norepinephrine have on the alpha receptors of the iris of the eye or the skeletal muscle vasculatur

Ulleksa [173]3 years ago

Answer: When norepinephrine binds to alpha receptors of the iris of the eye, it causes contraction of the ciliary muscles of the eye which brings about pupil dilation.

Stimulation of alpha receptors of the smooth muscle vasculature results in vasoconstriction of blood vessels.

Explanation: Alpha receptors are adrenergic receptors that respond to norepinephrine. They are subdivided into two (2) types:

Alpha 1, found in smooth muscle heart, liver, pregnant uterus, male sexual organs and blood vessels, with effects including vasoconstriction, intestinal relaxation, uterine contraction and papillary dilation.

Alpha 2, found in platelets, vascular smooth muscle, nerve termini and pancreatic islets, with effects including platelet aggregation, vasoconstriction and inhibition of norepinephrine release and of insulin secretion.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

I found this from someone else. This is not my work, Also if this does not answer the question ask the question on here and you can see more answers. hope this helps.!

Explanation:

According to National Geographic, ostriches are a part of a very small group of birds that cannot fly because unlike most birds, their small wings are not strong enough to carry their body for flight and their breastbone isn't balanced enough for flying. Birds that are unable to fly are called ratites.

A number of scientists namely Thomas Huxley, Richard Owen, and others have tried to show that these ratites are actually related to each other and eventually, it was discovered that they all had one thing in common, the way the bones at the roof of the mouth were arranged was similar to that of reptiles rather than other birds.

Richard Owen found and assembled the remains of an extinct ostrich skeleton which was an extinct moa and contrary to already held opinion, one ratite known as tinamous did not really fit with the profile of a ratite because it could fly, even though almost grudgingly and they possessed keeled sternum which suggests that they evolved from flying birds.

DNA tests showed that tinamous evolved within ratites and not necessarily as a separate entity. The tests also showed that moas and tinamous are related.

It was also speculated that the division of the supercontinent Pangaea southern side led to the separation of flightless ratite ancestors, causing each landlocked group to evolve and become the flightless birds we know today such as the ostrich, rheas, etc.

Which of the following best describes a response in which the roots show a positive tropic response and the shoots show a negati
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer: 3. gravitropism

The movement of plants in response to stimuli is called as tropism. Plants respond to different stimuli like light (phototropism), water present in the soil (hydrotropism), gravity (gravitropism) and touch (thigmotropism).

Gravitropism refers the growth and movement of plant parts with respect to the force of gravity exerted by earth. The roots shows positive gravitational tropism because they are growing towards earth gravity. The shoots or stems shows negative gravitational tropism because they are moving or growing against the gravity.

Yakvenalex [24]
<span>Although both macro algae and mangrove trees are multicellular and share many of the same structural features, macro algae are not true plants. Also, mangrove trees and marsh plants typically live in brackish water rather than salt water and are not completely submerged, as opposed to macro algae.</span>
