Antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin) works at the level of the collecting duct to either increase absorption of water in order to maintain plasma volume and thus blood pressure. <span>This hormone is synthesized by special nerve cells of the hypothalamus and then transported to the pituitary gland where the hormone is released from vesicles into the bloodstream. Vasopressin is released in response to extracellular fluid hypertonicity. His functions are to reabsorb water back into the circulation, from the filtrate in the kidney tubules of the nephrons and to constricts arterioles (raises arterial blood pressure). </span>

Colt1911 [192]

The inner layer, the dermis, consists of a superficial papillary region of loose, areolar connective tissue, connective tissue and a thicker and deeper reticular region of dense irregular connective tissue connective tissue.

<h3>The layers of the skin</h3>

The skin is the largest peripheral organ that covers the outer layers of the body. It is made up of two layers namely:

  • Epidermis: The epidermis is the outer layer and it is made up of stratified squamous epithelium.

  • Dermis: The dermis is the inner layer of skin. it is made up of superficial and deep layers.

The superficial layer is made up of papillary region of loose areolar connective tissue which helps to attach epithelial tissue to other underlying tissues.

While the deep layer is made up of dense irregular connective tissue which provides strength, making the skin resistant to tearing by stretching forces from different directions.

Part A: Research a Forest
Andrews [41]

Answer: I chose rainforest

A rainforest is an area of tall, mostly evergreen trees and a high amount of rainfall. Mean temperatures in tropical rainforest regions are between 20 and 29 °C (68 and 84 °F), and in no month is the mean temperature below 18 °C (64 °F). The main animals are monkeys, Blue Morpho Butterfly, Okapi, Three-Toed Sloth, Jaguar, Capybara, Toucan, and Poison Dart Frog. The main plants are ferns, lichens, mosses, orchids, bromeliads, and of course many types of trees. including the rubber tree. Deforestation is a particular concern in tropical rain forests because these forests are home to much of the world's biodiversity. For example, in the Amazon around 17% of the forest has been lost in the last 50 years, mostly due to forest conversion for cattle ranching. The main cause of deforestation is agriculture (poorly planned infrastructure is emerging as a big threat too) and the main cause of forest degradation is illegal logging.
