Question

Empty stomachs contract, causing both hunger pangs and the secretion of chemical messages that travel to the brain to serve as a signal to initiate feeding behavior. This is an example of ________. Select one: a. a genetic disorder that results in persistent feelings of intense hunger and reduced rates of metabolism b. binge eating behavior that is followed by an attempt to compensate for the large amount of food consumed c. how physiological mechanisms serve as the basis for hunger d. the amount of energy that is expended in a given period of time.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C

Explanation:

Eating activity is very important for the organisms to survive which is regulated at the physiological mechanism.

When the stomach of the person is empty, it starts contraction. The contraction of the stomach causes the secretion of the chemical messages which transfers from the stomach to the CNS mainly hypothalamus and the hindbrain.

This produces a feeling of hunger in humans in the response to which the CNS sends the signals to feed on something. This shows how human activities are controlled at a physiological level.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
