It is more of a web because it can start in any order and move into any rock type. example being you can start as a sedimentary rock and turn into a metamorphic rock or igneous rock. a cycle starts anywhere and then goes into a specific cycle.
hope this helps
<span>The muscle at the end of the esophagus is not able to close, which allows stomach acid and digested food to go back up into the esophagus. </span>
By not eating it? no offense it's common sense,If I'm wrong please elaborate
Constants never change.
Controls typically don't change or they are done by standard means
(like in an experiment where you water plants with sodas, the plant you use water with is the control)
Dependent variables are the outcome of the experiment. This is the result of changing something.
Independent variables are what you are testing. A independent variable is something that is intentionally altered.
easy way to remember it is that dependent variables depend on what other variables are. so you cant change a dependent variable, but you can change the other variables.
For Hypothalamo-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis of endocrine gland secretion, follow the root "CORTI" (C). This will be a great memory tool. Also, nearly all hypothalamic hormones that stimulate anterior pituitary secretion have the word RELEASING (hence "R" in their acronyms). So if asked what secretes CRH, GnRH, TRH, or GHRH... the answer will be the Hypothalamus because of the R.
Now... back to CRH... we're following the "C" for CORTI. What other endocrine hormone has C for CORTI??
ACTH = Adreno[Corti]coTropic Hormone
Which will then stimulate secretion of [Corti]sol (a glucocorticoid), amongst others from the cortex of the adrenal gland. Notice the [Corti] follows the whole pathway from Hypothalamus to adrenal Cortex: Hypothal. (CRH) --> Ant. Pituit. (ACTH) --> Adrenal Cortex (Cortisol)
Sorry this was so long-winded, but I was hoping to help you grasp a portion of how the Endocrine System works!
Good luck and hmu should you have any further Anatomy/Physiology questions.
