Answer:

D. Filing for a discharge petition

Explanation:

The best course of action for the congressman to take is 'the filing for a discharge petition'.

Normally, when a bill is introduced by a member of the House of Representatives, the speaker sends the bill to the relevant committee who then deliberate on it, seek expert advice etc. After the deliberations, the bill is then sent to the house for debate and possible voting for onward movement to the senate if passed by the majority.

In the event that the bill is stalled in the committee, the sponsor can file for a discharge petition. A discharge petition involves bringing out a bill from the committee that has spent at least thirty (30) days, without waiting for a report from the committee. To successfully file for a discharge petition, the sponsor must garner at least two hundred and eighteen votes (218) votes which is a clear majority.

Neurofeedback has been used to teach individuals with depression and anxiety how to self-regulate Amygdala

The term "amygdala" was originally used by Karl Friedrich Burdach in 1822. The amygdalae are thought to be a component of the limbic system and have been shown to play a significant role in the processing of memory, decision-making, and emotional reactions (including fear, anxiety, depression and aggressiveness). When someone shows sentiments of fear or aggressiveness, the amygdala clusters become active. This happens because the key brain region responsible for the fight-or-flight response is the amygdala. When the amygdala detects external stimuli that trigger a fight-or-flight response, anxiety and panic episodes may happen.

Particularly, ladies are more likely than males to suffer from anxiety and depression disorders. Males developed more serotonin receptors in the amygdala as a result, but females lost them. The stressful scenario had less impact on the guys as a result.

Bats and cats both have forelimbs adapted for moving. Whales (mammals) and sharks (fish) have fins adapted for swimming. What te
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

1. Bats and cats: <em>Homology</em>

2. Whales and sharks: <em>Analogy</em>

Explanation:

In Biology, homology refers to <u>the similarity of features from different species of organisms that share a common ancestor</u>. This is the opposite of analogy, which refers to <u>a feature that has a similar function but is not derived from a common ancestor</u>.

In this case, bats and cats have forelimbs adapted for locomotion. This is a case of homologous characters because they both are descendants of tetrapods - four-limbed animals. Therefore, even though cats and bats look completely different, they both share a similar feature: forelimbs, a characteristic feature from their common early mammalian ancestors.

On the other hand, whales (mammals) and sharks (fish) do not share a common ancestor. So, the fins are analogous structures: both have a similar function because both have adapted to an aquatic environment but they have completely separate evolutionary origins.

Annette [7]

Answer: norepinephrine

Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers in the brain that are the means by which brain cells communicate with each other. New drugs like venlafaxine are called <em>serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors</em>, and their function is to target two main neurotransmitters: serotonin and norepinephrine, which are the main neurotransmitters associated with depression.
