You are in the forest and see a large, snarling, drooling grizzly bear running directly toward you. The adrenaline rush you feel as you run toward the cabin is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system.

The sympathetic nervous system is a part of the autonomic nervous system which functions through various interconnected neurons. The sympathetic nervous system’s main role is to stimulate the neuronal and hormonal stress response (also known as body's fight-or-flight response). The sympathetic fibers in the adrenal medulla (inner part of the adrenal gland) produce acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter), which allow the high secretion of adrenaline and low amounts of noradrenaline from it. The sympathetic nervous system also prepares the body for action, especially in situations that are dangerous to survival.

Answer:

Blood Brain Barrier(BBB)

Explanation:

This is a biological interface of special endothelial cells of astrocytes, pericytes , capillaries,  neurons and other  structures, acting as a physical barrier or  gate separating the Central Nervous system from the peripheral  blood circulations. Thus it  formed a tight junction serving as a  physical barrier to  selectively regulate the entrance of substances from the   cerebral blood flow   into the brain,  therefore maintaining homeostasis of the brain.

From above any  substances  absorbed into the blood stream  irrespective of the mode of entry  are transported through  the BBB, and  are selectively  regulated to enter the brain cells by the BBB's   interactions with the blood vessels, hormones etc.

Basically it allows the passage of nutrients,  a few  drug, hormones and resists certain toxins and pathogens for the brain homeostasis.

They converted carbon dioxide to oxygen. The increased oxygen levels allowed for cellular respiration to occur instead of only glycolysis. The atmosphere became thinner, decreasing temperatures of the planet as well.

Post Test: Energy Use and Organisms.
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Organisms use energy to survive, grow, respond to stimuli, reproduce, and for every type of biological process. The potential energy stored in molecules can be converted to chemical energy, which can ultimately be converted to kinetic energy, enabling an organism to move.
