Answer:

Index fossils

Explanation:

The index fossils are the fossils that come in very handy for the geologists when it comes to identifying or dating rock samples or other fossils. The reason for this is that the index fossils have already been dated. They are fossils that are very commonly found, wide dispersed, are easy to be identified, and are limited to only a certain geological period. These characteristics make them an excellent indicator for the dating of the rock layers in which they are found, or the fossils found in the same layers with them, without conducting further examinations.

Describe the neural and hormonal mechanisms that work to maintain blood pressure after significant (hemorrhaging) blood loss ass
Bad White [126]

Autoregulatory neural and endocrine mechanisms activate after blood loss to compensate for the loss and restore homeostasis.

Neural mechanisms involve blood pressure and blood chemistry. Cardiac centers and vasomotor centers may increase the blood flow and cardiac output (sympathetic) or decrease the blood flow and cardiac output (parasympathetic). Peripheral vessels are also constricted and nor epinephrine decreases flow in the arteries and decreases the flow in the veins.

Endocrine control acts in the renal and adrenal organs, the brain and heart. RBCs, renin/angiotensiogen/aldosterone, catecholamines, antidiretic hormone, atrial natriuretic hormone regulate blood volume and blood pressure by keeping the fluids in the cardiovascular system. It also initiates vasoconstrictors or vasodilators.

zlopas [31]

Answer:

SA Node

Inter-nodal Pathways

AV Node

AV Bundle

Bundle Branches

Purkinje Fibers

The SA nodes functions first for setting pace for the heart, then the inter-nodal pathway make link b/w SA and AV node. AV node is site of delay when contraction of atria occurs. AV bundle is the mean of electrical link b/w atria and ventricle. The conveying of impulse to the inter-ventricular septum occurs through bundle branches, while conveying of impulse throughout and along the walls of ventricle occurs through Purkinje fibers.
