The tilt of the earth's axis, which essentially "turns" certain parts of earth so that some parts receive more direct sunlight
Answer:
Wildfires
Explanation:
This is because it can easily ignite plants which are not moistened by rain or ignite fuel sources on the ground.
1. Action potential reaches the axon terminal and depolarizes it.
2. Depolarization opens voltage-gated calcium channels, enabling influx of Ca into the neuron.
3. Calcium binds to specialized proteins on vesicles (containing pre-made acetylcholine) and triggers them to fuse with the neuron membrane at the synapse.
4. Exocytosis of acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft occurs.
5. Acetylcholine diffuses across the synapse and binds to nicotinic receptors on the end plate of the myocyte.
6. Activated nicotinic receptors, themselves ion channels, cause cation influx into the myocyte and generate an end plate potential. This eventually gives rise to the full depolarization within the myocyte that enables contraction.
Answer:
The correct option is <u>C. The nervous system when the brain regulates the body's breathing and heart rate.</u>
Explanation:
The main function of the respiratory system is to exchange oxygen for carbon dioxide in the body.
The brain controls the rate at which the heart pumps blood. The pumping of the heart supplies oxygenated blood to other parts of the body. Hence, the rate at which heart pumps blood is very important to maintain homeostasis of the respiratory system.
The brain regulates the rate at which a person breathes. This rate is very important to breathe in the right amount of oxygen and to breathe out the right amount of carbon dioxide.
