The statement is true.
Renin-angiotensin system will be activated when there is a loss of blood volume (or decrease of blood pressure, such as in haemorrhage or dehydration. <span>Renin is secreted by kidneys directly into the circulation when the blood flow is reduced. Renin then stimulates conversion of angiotensinogen, released by the liver, to angiotensin I which will then be converted to angiotensin II by the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) found in the lungs. Angiotensin II is a vasoconstrictor(increases the blood pressure) and also stimulates the secretion of the aldosterone from the adrenal cortex. Aldosterone increases the reabsorption of sodium and water into the blood and the excretion of potassium (to maintain electrolyte balance). This also increases blood pressure and retention of water.</span>

Think about the two words that make up the term reproductive isolation. How do you think reproductive isolation affects the evol
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Reproductive isolation refers to the inability of an organism or species to breed successfully with other organism or species.

It may arise from various factors such as:

  • Geographical isolation such as river, mountain, etc
  • Behavioral changes such as mating time or season, mating rituals, mating location etc.
  • Physiological differences such as change in shape of sex organs which causes lack of fit between copulatory organs.
  • Genetic differences.

Reproductive and geographical isolations between two populations (of same species) inhibit the flow of genes among them. Slowly, these isolations increase the variations in the gene pools of the two populations.

These genetic variations keep on increasing with time. In addition, as an adaptation to their surrounding or habitat the two populations would develop different behavioral and physiological changes

With time, these differences will increase up to such an extent that the two populations would not be able breed with each other. Hence, it would lead to the evolution of one or both the populations into new species.

which joints are synostoses that have distinct, interlocking, usually irregular edges that increase their strength?
Cloud [144]

SUTURES are synarthrotic joints that have distinct, interlocking, usually irregular edges that increase their strength. Sutures are joints between the bones of the skull.

Synarthroses are immovable joints (synarthrosis) in which bones are separated by a thin layer of fibrous connective tissue.

A suture is a narrow synarthrotic joint that occurs between specific bones of the skull.

These main sutures of the skull include metopic suture, coronal suture, sagittal suture, and lambdoid suture.
