Answer:

β-oxidation and gluconeogenesis

Explanation:

This 22-year-old woman, by not eating her food for a long time, entered a period of prolonged fasting.

Which there are no glycogen reserves, since they were depleted and neither were glucose assimilations by the cells because the person only ingested water.

Prolonged fasting is extremely dangerous because fatty tissues are degraded resulting in ketone bodies that are considered toxic and cross the blood-brain barrier.

Once the fat tissue reserve is completely finished, the body will enter into proteolysis of the body's own structural proteins in order to obtain energy, this is how the phenomenon of abrupt consumption of muscle tissue occurs.

The big bang theory states that the universe was formed as the result of a huge explosion.   How did the universe begin, accordi
frez [133]
In simpler terms, the Big Bang theory says the universe as we know it started with a small singularity, then inflated over the next 13.8 billion years to the cosmos that we know today. In the first second after the universe began, the surrounding temperature was about 10 billion degrees Fahrenheit (5.5 billion Celsius). The cosmos contained a vast array of fundamental particles such as neutrons, electrons and protons. These decayed or combined as the universe got cooler. Over time, however, the free electrons met up with nuclei and created neutral atoms. This allowed light to shine through about 380,000 years after the Big Bang.

Which section of the brain is responsible for coordinating muscle movements
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The cerebellum (back of the brain) and the brainstem (middle of the brain)

Explanation:

Muscle movement coordination can be<em> voluntary</em> or <em>involuntary</em>. There are different sections of the brain responsible for the two;

  • Voluntary movement of muscles is coordinated by the brainstem in addition to other functions such as sneezing, swallowing, vomitting, etc.
  • Involuntary coordination of muscles is controlled by the cerebellum in addition to maintaining posture, balance and body equilibrium.

Hence, both the cerebellum and the brainstem are responsible for coordinating muscle movement.
