Excitation of HPA-Axis Stress Responses

Paraventricular nucleus corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) neurons are activated by neural inputs from a number of possible sources (Figure 1). Stressors signaling homeostatic challenge (commonly referred to as systemic stressors) are mediated by neurocircuits providing direct excitation of paraventricular nucleus (PVN) neurons. For example, HPA-axis activation by blood loss (hemorrhage) is mediated by activation of brainstem norepinephrine neurons that project directly to the PVN. Activation of the HPA axis by fluid imbalance appears to be triggered by angiotensinergic neurons of the subfornical organ, which sense increases in circulating angiotensin II. Negative energy balance signals are relayed to the PVN by the arcuate nucleus, which activates CRH neurons by release of excitatory peptide messengers (such as neuropeptide Y and agouti-related peptide). Responses to systemic stress are thought to be reflexive, that is, they do not require the engagement of cognitive processes.

What types of carbon fixation is least common for plants in arid locations?
timofeeve [1]
The answer is a C3 fixation.

Plants are located in different regions with a different condition, so they had to adapt the carbon fixation. There are three types of carbon fixation in plants - C3, C4, and CAM fixation. C3 and C4 plants open their stomata during the day while CAM plants open stomata during the night.
Plants in arid locations use CAM carbon fixation because of adaptation to water deficiency. In CAM plants, stomata are closed during the day and water loss is reduced. In the night when is colder, stomata open and carbon dioxide enters through stomata. In C4 carbon fixation, there is also adaptation to high temperatures thanks to enzymes that increase the rates of photorespiration, unlike the C3 fixation.
