Answer:

The correct answer is: (B) erythropoietin (EPO) – increases white blood cell production.

Explanation:

Erythropoietin is a hormone secreted by the kidney when dealing to cellular hypoxia (low oxygen content on body tissues) to stimulate red blood cell production. This is because red blood cells are the ones that transport oxygen to every tissue in the body.

Explain the all-or-none law of action potentials and describe the effect of increased stimulus strength on action potential prod
Schach [20]

If the stimulus reaches the threshold an action potential will be generated. If the stimulus doesn't reach it no action potential will be generated. If the stimulus will be stronger the action potential will have the same amplitude. The refractory period makes it harder to generate an action potential so they decrease the frequency of action potential production.
