Answer:
The correct option is <u>C. The nervous system when the brain regulates the body's breathing and heart rate.</u>
Explanation:
The main function of the respiratory system is to exchange oxygen for carbon dioxide in the body.
The brain controls the rate at which the heart pumps blood. The pumping of the heart supplies oxygenated blood to other parts of the body. Hence, the rate at which heart pumps blood is very important to maintain homeostasis of the respiratory system.
The brain regulates the rate at which a person breathes. This rate is very important to breathe in the right amount of oxygen and to breathe out the right amount of carbon dioxide.
Answer:
Weight gain and depression are symptoms caused by imbalance of pituitary and adrenal glands and the cortisol hormone.
Explanation:
The pituitary gland is responsible for the overall functioning of the body since it produces a variety of hormones. It is very small in size and is also known as the 'master gland'. It is made of two parts- <u>anterior pituitary gland and posterior pituitary gland</u>. The pituitary gland and its functions are controlled by the hypothalamus.
The anterior pituitary secretes hormones which act on adrenal glands, thyroid, testes and ovaries. The hormones produced are <em>TSH, Prolactin, Luitenizing Hormone, Cortisol, Testosterone</em>, etc.
Cortisol is produced by the <u>adrenal gland</u> under the command of <em>pituitary gland</em>. Cortisol helps in <em>regulating blood sugar, blood pressure</em> and helps in reducing inflammation. Any imbalance of adrenal gland will cause an increase or decrease in the production of cortisol. The symptoms produced on the imbalance are:
- Obesity in upper body
- High blood pressure
- Mood swings, depression and irritability
- Acne and other skin problems.
There are seven main levels of classification, divided into five kingdoms.
Animal - Animals are multicellular eukaryotes whose cells are bound together by collagen.
Plant - Plants are predominantly photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae.
Fungi - A fungus is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms.
Protist - A protist is any eukaryotic organism that is not an animal, plant, or fungus.
Monera (unicellular) - Kingdom Monera belongs to the prokaryote family. These are the oldest known microorganisms on earth.
