Answer:

c) prolonged events similar to the sympathetic nervous system, such as elevated heart rate and blood pressure, decreased digestive and urinary activities and increased metabolic rate.

Explanation:

The adrenal medulla secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine. A tumor on the adrenal medulla, called pheochromocytoma, causes excess amounts of these two hormones to be secreted. The effects of this type of tumor would lead to <u>prolonged events similar to the sympathetic nervous system, such as elevated heart rate and blood pressure, decreased digestive and urinary activities and increased metabolic rate</u>.

The medulla manages the fight-or-flight response through the release of epinephrine and norepinephrine. norepinephrine functions by increasing heart rates which causes the release of more glucose and increased supply of oxgenated blood to various parts of the body while epinephrine is concerned with the increased supply of sugar. This are sympathetic functions. An increase in the secretion of both will result in a prolonged  increased heart rate, blood pressure and metabolic rate in response to stress management.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

The scientific method is often described as self-correcting and cyclical. Briefly describe your understanding of the scientific
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

The scientific method is the means by which science acquires its knowledge and broadens its understanding of the natural, human and social worlds, through a series of steps that are very rigurous and that require not just observation, but also testing and proving. Although observation of the natural world, and interest in it has been with humans since almost ancient times, the method really began to develop as such, with its steps, around the 17th century and it became an empirical way to not only acquire, but also refine, renew, and update knowledge on all that surrounds humans.

The method is composed, as said, of a series of steps, that feed into a circular, or cyclical style, which means that research will only be liable to be refreshed, made void by new information acquired, or upheld. The steps are: defining a question on a matter of interest. Then, start observing and acquiring the necessary information to see if the a hypothesis can be formed, and thus research can be carried out. Then, formulate your hypothesis, test it through the collection of data that can prove it and can be easily reproduced and tested by others, interpret your data, draw conclusions from what has been acquired and then pubish the results and retest the hypothesis. These steps apply to all research on the scientific method, in a circular manner, and they don´t stop. Also, the fact that a thesis is always being tested, and new data is acquired, makes the knowledge gathered from it self-correcting.

A. In an essay tell me what this graph says. Be sure to include demand, supply, quantity
Paha777 [63]

In the graph:

The vertical axis implies the price, the horizontal axis implies the quantity supplied and demanded. The downward line is the demand curve, the upward line is the supply curve.  

As it can be seen in the graph, demand curve and supply curve intersect at point A. So that point A implies the equilibrium of the market when the quantity supplied equal to the demand supplied equal to Q1 (S = D = Q1) and the price is P1.  

When the price is at P2, the quantity supplied (Q2) is larger than demanded (Q3), resulting in the surplus in the market.  

When the price is at P3, the quantity demanded (Q4) is larger than supplied (Q5), resulting in the shortage in the market.
