Answer:

A sleepy driver rounds a bend and sees a deer standing in the road. The driver snaps to attention and applies the brakes, averting the accident, because his brain was aroused by the <u> Reticular Activating system(RAS).</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Reticular activating system (RAS) is a part of brain that filters the sensory signal that tries to reach our brain.
  • However the olfactory Signal do not pass through it .
  • Reticular activating system is located at the brain stem little above the spinal column.
  • This is an extremely important part of the brain because it sorts various sensory signals into important and non-important ones.
  • RAS allows only those information into the brain that needs immediate attention of the conscious mind.
  • Hence it is responsible for sudden wakefulness.
  • Our sensory organs perceive thousands of information each second and direct them towards the brain.
  • If RAS was not there then our brain would have reached a state of confusion every minute and might have failed to give proper response to any of the stimulus.
  • In the given situation, the sudden sight of the deer acted as a threatening stimulus.
  • This information needed immediate attention of the driver's conscious mind and his brain was thus aroused by the RAS.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option a and b.

Explanation:

The food is digested and absorbed in the small intestine, a long folded tube which lengths about 20 ft or 6m.  

The small intestine increases the surface area for food absorption as they have circular folding as well as the finger-like projections called villi and microvilli in the lumen of the intestine. These villi help in absorption of the nutrients from the intestine.

Thus, option a and b are the correct options.

The Cell Will Shrink

Hypertonic solutions have less water ( and more solute such as salt or sugar ) than a cell. Seawater is hypertonic. If you place an animal or a plant cell in a hypertonic solution, the cell shrinks, because it loses water ( water moves from a higher concentration inside the cell to a lower concentration outside ).
