Health
1 answer:
Oliga [24]3 years ago
8 0

The thyroid hormones act on nearly every cell in the body. They act to increase the basal metabolic rate, affect protein synthesis, help regulate long bone growth, and increase the body's sensitivity to catecholamines - hormones made by your adrenal glands, which are located on top of your kidneys - by permissiveness (great or excessive freedom of behaviour.)

What happens to the body physiologically from scoliosis?
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Scoliosis can lead to osteoarthritis and degenerative changes in the spine, hips and knees. If a case is severe enough, internal organs may also be compromised or severely damaged.

Explanation:

The cause of physiological scoliosis is the human gait, which forces the spine into a threefold curve, alternately changing at every step. However, the innate normal asymmetries of the human body eventually establish permanent lateral curves of the spine, showing marked individual variations within the general law.

Describe a law not discussed in this lesson designed to benefit an individual's health. Justify your response using two or more
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The law of public urination is illegal due to the laws that are designed to benefit overall communities' health. A common misconception of this law is that is was created since urine is unsanitary; however, urine is sterile because it contains no living organisms unless the person that produces it has an active urinary tract or bladder infection. In fact, there are actually fewer bacteria in urine than in the average tap water. Furthermore, while it may seem that drinking urine is okay since it is a sterile solution, but it is a really bad idea because it would upset the salt and nitrogen balance in the body due to it containing an abundance of waste products and salts that the body rids itself of via urination.
