Answer:

Dopamine.

Explanation:

Schizophrenia is a mental illness characterized by psychotic episodes and the inability to relate thoughts, feelings and actions, accompanied by delusions, hallucinations (auditory, visual, olfactory and tactile), incoherent thoughts, memory disorders and, in occasions, confusion. Dopamine is a hormone synthesized by the brain that acts as a neurotransmitter and allows the connection between neurons. Studies suggest that some of these alterations in mental functions are caused by an excess in the activity of dopaminergic synapses, that is, there is a hyperactivity in those connections where dopamine is produced and expelled, which range from the ventral tegmental area to the nucleus accumbens and the amygdala, which are the main ones responsible for synthesizing and expelling dopamine from brain reward systems.

Answer:

The stratosphere

contains the ozone layer ,

is used by airplanes,

has strong, steady winds , and

increases in temperature as altitude increases .

Explanation:

The stratosphere is the atmospheric layer between 10 km and 50 km above the Earth's surface.

It includes the ozone layer, which is at an altitude of about 20 km.

It has strong, steady winds that can reach as high as 220 km/h.

Passenger aircraft generally fly in the lower levels of the stratosphere, at altitudes of about 10 km to 12 km.

Temperatures increase with altitude, from -50 °C at 10 km to -3 °C at 50 km.

A is wrong. The mesosphere (altitude 50 km to 85 km) is the coldest of the atmospheric layers, with temperatures as low as -90 °C at 85 km.

lateral; inferior

Explanation:

In anatomical terms:

  • Superior is towards the head, and <u>inferior </u>is towards the feet.
  • Medial is towards the centre of the body (belly button) whereas <u>lateral </u>is towards the outside of the body (towards the hip bones and arms, for example)
  • Posterior is towards the back (spine), whereas anterior is towards the front (belly)

Therefore, the fingers are lateral (to the side) and inferior (lower) than the heart
