Answer:

The correct answer is: Brain-derived Neurotrophic factor.

Explanation:

The brain-derived neurotrophic factor (commonly abbreviated to BDNF) is a protein from a family related to the growth of nerves that also works as a neurotransmitter.

In the brain, the BDNF is active in areas like the <u>basal forebrain, the cortex, and the hippocampus</u>, where learning, memory, and higher thinking take place.

BDNF plays a<u> key role in the survival of neurons and the process of synaptogenesis</u>, which is why the decrease of this protein is linked to several neuropsychiatric conditions like depression and schizophrenia.

Anastasy [175]

The <u>bladder </u>is in the hypogastric region.

Hypogastric Region- The structures around the pelvic bone are located in the hypogastric area. These include the prostate in men and the womb and ovaries in women, as well as the bladder, a section of the colon and rectum, the anus, and several reproductive system organs.

Bladder- A little above and behind pubic bone in the pelvis, the urine bladder is a muscular sac. The bladder is roughly the size and shape of a pear when it is empty. The kidneys produce urine, which then passes via capillary called ureters and into the bladder. Urination can be restricted and rare because to the bladder's ability to hold pee.

Ryan wants to see if storing his batteries in the refrigerator will make them last longer. He goes to Target and buys four batte
bulgar [2K]
<span>The battery which Ryan kept in fridge, assuming it was well protected from any moisture or water, it would tend to play the CD longer than the one stored in a desk drawer. This is because storing batteries in a cool dry location while protected from any moisture or water, can help to prolong shelf life. This is due to the fact that low temperatures tends to slow down the electric current flow within the electrolyte fluid inside the battery, hence, the rate of power dissipation is reduced thus slowing down of the power drain from battery by the electric current flow . Thus, the battery stored in the fridge tends to have lost less power, if any, compared to the one stored in a desk drawer.</span>
