Answer:

Fever c) is regulated by chemicals that reset the body's thermostat to a higher setting

Explanation:

Fever is a high body temperature and is one of the ways our immune system attempts to combat an infection. It is also referred to as pyrexia and it could be more than between 37.2 and 38.3 °C (99.0 and 100.9 °F) in humans, there is not a single agreed-upon upper limit. <em>Temperature is regulated in the hypothalamus.</em> Fever helps your immune system fight infections by speeding up the functioning of cells and it makes it harder for bacteria and viruses to thrive in the body.

hypothesize a mechanism to explain how tissues respond to insulin in different ways, even tisses that have the same amount of re
soldi70 [24.7K]
<span>The major effects of insulin on muscle and adipose tissue are: (1) Carbohydrate metabolism: (a) it increases the rate of glucose transport across the cell membrane, (b) it increases the rate of glycolysis by increasing hexokinase and 6-phosphofructokinase activity, (c) it stimulates the rate of glycogen synthesis and decreases the rate of glycogen breakdown. (2) Lipid metabolism: (a) it decreases the rate of lipolysis in adipose tissue and hence lowers the plasma fatty acid level, (b) it stimulates fatty acid and triacylglycerol synthesis in tissues, (c) it increases the uptake of triglycerides from the blood into adipose tissue and muscle, (d) it decreases the rate of fatty acid oxidation in muscle and liver. (3) Protein metabolism: (a) it increases the rate of transport of some amino acids into tissues, (b) it increases the rate of protein synthesis in muscle, adipose tissue, liver, and other tissues, (c) it decreases the rate of protein degradation in muscle (and perhaps other tissues). These insulin effects serve to encourage the synthesis of carbohydrate, fat and protein, therefore, insulin can be considered to be an anabolic hormone.
