Lyra  Latin for lyre, from Greek  is a small constellation. It is one of 48 listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy, and is one of the 88 constellations recognized by the International Astronomical Union. Lyra was often represented on star maps as a vulture or an eagle carrying a lyre, and hence sometimes referred to as Aquila Cadens or Vultur Cadens. Beginning at the north, Lyra is bordered by Draco, Hercules, Vulpecula, and Cygnus. Lyra is visible from the northern hemisphere from spring through autumn, and nearly overhead, in temperate latitudes, during the summer months. From the southern hemisphere, it is visible low in the northern sky during the winter months.

Vega, Lyra's brightest star is one of the brightest stars in the night sky, and forms a corner of the famed Summer Triangle asterism. Beta Lyrae is the prototype of a class of stars known as Beta Lyrae variables. These binary stars are so close to each other that they become egg-shaped and material flows from one to the other. Epsilon Lyrae, known informally as the Double Double, is a complex multiple star system. Lyra also hosts the Ring Nebula, the second-discovered and best-known planetary nebula.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The mass of an object is a measure of the amount of matter it contains. The weight of an object is a measure of the force exerted on the object by gravity, or the force needed to support it. Mass does not change with gravity as weight does due to the act of pulling down on an object making it in fact heavier.

What neurotransmitter primarily affects motor function and is involved in gross subconscious movements of the skeletal muscles?
Ahat [919]

Dopamine is predominantly engaged in gross, unconsciously occurring motions of the skeletal muscles, which has an impact on motor function.

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that predominantly influences motor control and is involved in large-scale, unintentional skeletal muscle contractions. Dopamine also contributes to emotional reactions. Parkinson's disease is characterized by a dopamine deficit and tremors or uncontrollable quivering motions in the sufferer. Acetylcholine contributes to the speedy transmission of nerve impulses by spilling into the synapse region. Norepinephrine affects arousal maintenance, dreaming, and mood modulation. Serotonin causes sleep, changes sensory perception, regulates temperatures, and plays a role in the regulation of mood.
