Heart rate is controlled by the two branches of the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) releases the hormones (catecholamines - epinephrine and norepinephrine) to accelerate the heart rate. The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) releases the hormone acetylcholine to slow the heart rate. Such factors as stress, caffeine, and excitement may temporarily accelerate your heart rate, while meditating or taking slow, deep breaths may help to slow your heart rate.
Insulin is produced by beta cells of the pancreas for storing and disposing of the glucose in various parts of the body like liver. This activity is a differentiated function of the beta cells of pancreas only. Although gene for insulin production is present in all cells, it is expressed only in the beta cells. Hence, it is a differentiated function.
<h2>Gelatin </h2>
Explanation:
Gelatin is a differential medium which tests the ability of an organism to produce an exoenzyme, called gelatinase (this enzyme hydrolyzes gelatin)
When gelatin is at a temperature below 32°C (or within a few degrees thereof), it is a semisolid material and at temperatures above 32°C, it is a viscous liquid
When gelatin is broken down, it can no longer solidify and if an organism can break down gelatin, the areas where the organism has grown will remain liquid even if the gelatin is refrigerated
No the conclusion by student is not right because the tube must be runny after incubation followed by refrigeration to be considered gelatinase positive
Isobars represent adjusted atmospheric pressure. This removes pressure discrepancies caused by the location's relation to sea level or altitude. Isobars are also adjusted when necessary so that they never cross or touch. Weather maps with isobars give pressure information at a glance. They also give an approximation of wind direction because wind moves from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas as large air masses move through the pressure differential.
