The hypothalamus is a part of the central nervous system that is directly linked to the pituitary gland and regulates its activity.
The pituitary gland is key in regulating the whole endocrine system because it secretes hormones that control the releasing of hormones in other glands such as the adrenal glands, the gonads etc.
The hypothalamus excretes releasing hormones which travel to the pituitary and start the excretion of another set of hormones that travel to other glands starting the production of their own hormones.
This forms a delicate system which has a moving balance and responds to external stimuli through the connection the hypothalamus has with other parts of the brain which process information that comes from the external and internal receptors ( such as heat, hunger, emotional state etc.).

Two different groups of scientists studying a rare trait in ground squirrels report very different heritabilities. What factors

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

It is a trait highly influenced by environmental factors (i.e., it has low heritability)

Explanation:

In population genetics, heritability is a statistical measure to estimate the proportion of the phenotype variation of a given trait which can be explained by hereditable genetic factors. The heritability of a trait is influenced by environmental factors, genetic factors (e.g., allele frequencies, number of genes involved in trait variation, recombination rate, etc), and the interaction between genetic and environmental factors. A low heritability value suggests that most of the variation is not genetic (i.e., due to environmental factors), while a high heritability value suggests that almost all of the variability in a trait is due to genetic factors.

Hi. This question requires a personal answer based on your assessment of your own abilities and qualities. However, I will provide an answer below and hope it serves as a model for you to be able to formulate your own answer.

One of my main characteristics that will be very useful in my work environment is patience. I believe that the medical field requires a lot of patience, as work environments can be very stressful, mainly because you have to deal with the most different types of people. My patience will allow me to work efficiently under pressure and will allow me to deal with the human being without affecting my work. Besides patience, I'm a very agile person. Medical work requires agility, especially when it is related to emergency care, where agility is essential for the patient's health.
