The origin of congenital adrenal hyperplasia occurs when circulating cortisol levels are low.
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disease which results from mutations of genes for enzymes involved in the biochemical steps of production of mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids or sex steroids from cholesterol by the adrenal glands (steroidogenesis). <span>Low cortisol production results in rising levels of ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) because cortisol usually inhibits ACTH production. This increased ACTH production induces overgrowth (hyperplasia) and overactivity of the steroid-producing cells of the adrenal cortex.</span>

What rule of magnetism is illustrated by the lines of the iron filings with unlike poles?

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The rule of magnetism illustrated is the field lines are more concentrated at the poles and also about the direction of magnetic field.

Explanation:

Every magnet has two pole, north pole and south pole. The like poles repel each other and unlike poles attract each other.
The direction of magnetic field is from north to south that can be seen by the iron filling experiment.
When the iron fillings are kept near the bar magnet, we observe that most of the fillings are attached to either poles.
It is due to the fact that the concentration of magnetic field is highest at the poles.
