Cannabinoid receptors, located throughout the body, are part of the Endocannabinoid system which is involved in a variety of physiological processes including appetite, pain-sensation, mood, and memory.[1]

Cannabinoid receptors are of a class of cell membrane receptors under the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. As is typical of G protein-coupled receptors, the cannabinoid receptors contain seven transmembrane spanning domains.[5] Cannabinoid receptors are activated by three major groups of ligands: endocannabinoids, produced by the mammillary body; plant cannabinoids (such as Cannabidiol, produced by the cannabis plant); and synthetic cannabinoids (such as HU-210). All of the endocannabinoids and plant cannabinoids are lipophilic, such as fat soluble compounds.

Liula [17]

Answer:

The writing of a person is controlled by an region located in the left part of frontal lobe of the brain which is known as the Broca's area.
Writing is a motor impulse send by the brain to the hand and fingers.
However, no two individual can have the same hand-writing.
This is because hand-writing is not only dependent on the brain to hand motor co-ordination.
It also depends upon the psychology, mentality, thought process, state of mind, nature of the person and also the influence of the surroundings on the person.
It also depends on the preference of the person to keep his writing artistic or simple or illegible.
All these factors can never match between two persons.
This is the reason, no two persons can share the exactly same hand-writing.

Which of the following is a major determinant of the distribution pattern of a population?

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

a.) rate of population growth

Explanation:

The population growth rate determines how a population will be distributed in a region. Populations with a high growth rate need to occupy more spaces, in addition to needing to consume a greater volume of natural resources. As the population grows, the distribution in the region becomes more intense, the opposite also happens. When the population growth rate indicates that the population is decreasing it means that this population will need less space and therefore, its geographic distribution will be smaller, as well as its impact on the region.
