Answer:

Option C, Lungs

Explanation:

When silica dust is inhaled it causes silicosis which in severe cases is disabling. When Silica enters the lungs , scar tissues are formed which lead to difficulty in taking oxygen. This problem usually arises when crystalline silica is inhaled continuously for a period of 15 to 20 years. Its symptoms are not visible and thus can only be determined through chest X-Ray. However, after prolonged exposure lung dysfunctions causes breathing problem, fatigue, chest pain or  respiratory failure

Hence, option C is correct

Effectus [21]

Answer:

B) sympathetic and parasympathetic

Explanation:

e autonomic nervous system also called the vegetative nervous system is part of the peripheral nervous system which inervates  smooth muscle and glands. Thus, it directly affects the function of internal organs and  regulates  functions such as the heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate,  urination etc. This nervous system control is  unconscious.

The autonomic nervous system is divided into: the sympathetic nervous system, the parasympathetic nervous system and the enteric nervous system.

Parasympathetic nervous system works when organism is at rest so it is known as system responsible for "rest and digest functions". On the other hand, sympathetic nervous system works at active and stressful situations and it is known as "fight and flight" system.

Glucagon secretion is stimulated when blood glucose concentration decreases. which carbohydrate pathways does glucagon stimulate
Ugo [173]

The correct answers are gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis.

Glucose is the prime energy source, which is utilized by the body. Glucagon refers to the peptide hormone, which enhances the levels of glucose in the body when its amount is critically low in the blood.

The upsurge in the number of glucose levels in the bloodstream is encouraged by the processes, gluconeogenesis, and glycogenolysis. Gluconeogenesis refers to the metabolic pathway, which generates glucose molecules, this generally occurs in the liver.

Glycogenolysis refers to the biochemical dissociation of glycogen molecules to glucose. It takes place in the liver tissues.
