Answer:

Oxytocin, a posterior pituitary hormone. (Ans A)

Explanation:

Oxytocin is known as a posterior pituitary hormone that helps to stimulate strong contractions during labor pain and help to dilate the cervix, push the baby downward and out through the birth canal, drag out of the placenta, and restrict the bleeding at the placental site.

During the birth process, against the cervix, the pressure of the baby and then against the pelvic floor tissues helps to promote contractions and oxytocin hormone. Low levels of oxytocin hormone can cause several problems such as after birth excessive bleeding at the placenta site, contractions slow or stop and making labor time take longer, etc.

This step of the grieving process allows time for processing of the bad news.
vivado [14]

Answer:

B. Denial

Explanation:

Grief is a normal process that people go through when a loved one passes away. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross proposed that people go through five stages of grief or mourning:

  1. Denial
  2. Anger
  3. Bargaining
  4. Depression
  5. Acceptance

The first stage is denial, a defense mechanism that begins with the refusal to accept the loss. An example is to keep thinking that the person who passed away is going to arrive eventually. Later on, the person may think that life is meaningless, etc.

It might sound as this stage does not help however, according to research, denial gives you time to gradually process the bad news. Through denial, an individual can begin to understand what happened and may help you cope with the situation.

marshall27 [118]

There are three stages of perception: selection, organization, and interpretation. In selection, the first stage, we choose stimuli that attract our attention. We focus on the ones that stand out to our senses (sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch).

Example: A person identifying anything in the car ir on the road that might affect their safety.
