A. systolic pressure, ejection of blood from the heart B. diastolic pressure, ejection of blood from the heart C. systolic pressure, ventricles are relaxing D. diastolic pressure, ventricles are relaxing E. diastolic pressure, atria are contracting, ventricles are relaxing

Answer:

A. systolic pressure, ejection of blood from the heart

Explanation:

Systolic pressure represents the highest pressure of the blood in the arteries. It is attained during the phase of ventricular systole. During this phase, the ventricles contract (systole) resulting in a build-up of the blood pressure. This makes the tricuspid and mitral valves close. As the blood pressure in the ventricles exceeds that in the arteries, semilunar valves are opened and blood flows into the aorta and pulmonary artery. The flow of the blood increases the pressure in the arteries.

If your blood sugar level is low from skipping lunch what reaction will occur in your liver cells
Vadim26 [7]
The answer is Glycogenolysis

When we are hungry or skipped a meal our  glucagon, <span>an hormones</span> that regulates blood-sugar levels, is released to avoid glucose levels in the blood to decrease to a risky value.

Glucagon makes the liver, but also the muscle, to breakdown accumulated glucose called glycogen into glucose to increase blood-sugar levels. This process is called Glycogenolysis and can also be  stimulated by an increase in epinephrine during  fight-or-flight responses.
