Answer:

The correct answer is - thyroid gland.

Explanation:

The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland that releases two hormones that play an important role in cellular activities and energy release. Thyroid glands are located in the neck region.

Thyroid hormones T3 and T4 act on every type of cell present in the body to increase the metabolic activity of cells and organs. Dysfunction of the thyroid gland causes an increase or decrease in cellular activity in body cells.

Do ionic bonds give electrons?
Korolek [52]

Answer:

In ionic bonds, there is a transfer of electrons from one atom to another. Because of the transfer of electrons, the atoms that gain electrons become negatively charged, while the atoms that lose electrons will be positively charged. [1] If the atom has an additional electron, then the atom becomes a negative ion, known as anion. Meanwhile, if the atom loses electrons, then the atom becomes a positive ion or cation. [2] Because of the difference in charge between ions (positive ions and negative ions), the positive and negative ions will attract each other by electrostatic forces. This event is the basis of ionic bonding.

Explain the process in which hormones secreted by the pancreas function with respect to increased glucose levels in the blood.
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Explanation:

When blood glucose levels increase above set point, the hormone insulin, which is produced in the beta cells of the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas, is secreted into the bloodstream. The insulin binds to insulin receptors on cell membranes of liver cells, which results in accelerated conversion of glucose to glycogen, and a slower conversion of glycogen to glucose. This caused blood glucose levels to fall back to normal range again.

Which of the following statements about the response of arteriolar smooth muscle to changing oxygen partial pressures is TRUE?
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

C. Systemic arterioles respond to a decrease in PO₂ by dilating, but pulmonary arterioles constrict in response to decreased PO₂.

Explanation:

In the arterioles, vasoconstriction is a response to high oxygen while vasodilation is a response to carbon dioxide and low pH. However, in the pulmonary arterioles, vasoconstriction occurs as a response to low oxygen and this mechanism is called hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV).
