Hello!
.
The answer to your question is "asthma".
.
In its earliest medical application, the herb from which amphetamines are derived was used as a treatment for asthma.

Seed travel allows the offspring of a plant to grow farther from their parents. This prevents them from competing with each other over resources.
Answer:
Hormone production and release are primarily controlled by negative feedback. In negative feedback systems, a stimulus elicits the release of a substance; once the substance reaches a certain level, it sends a signal that stops further release of the substance. In this way, the concentration of hormones in blood is maintained within a narrow range. For example, the anterior pituitary signals the thyroid to release thyroid hormones. Increasing levels of these hormones in the blood then give feedback to the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary to inhibit further signaling to the thyroid gland, as illustrated in Figure 18.14. There are three mechanisms by which endocrine glands are stimulated to synthesize and release hormones: humoral stimuli, hormonal stimuli, and neural stimuli.
Explanation:
Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is overactive. Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is underactive. Which of the conditions are the following two patients most likely to have?
Patient A has symptoms including weight gain, cold sensitivity, low heart rate and fatigue.
Patient B has symptoms including weight loss, profuse sweating, increased heart rate and difficulty sleeping.Humoral Stimuli
The term “humoral” is derived from the term “humor,” which refers to bodily fluids such as blood. A humoral stimulus refers to the control of hormone release in response to changes in extracellular fluids such as blood or the ion concentration in the blood. For example, a rise in blood glucose levels triggers the pancreatic release of insulin. Insulin causes blood glucose levels to drop, which signals the pancreas to stop producing insulin in a negative feedback loop.
Hormonal stimuli refers to the release of a hormone in response to another hormone. A number of endocrine glands release hormones when stimulated by hormones released by other endocrine glands. For example, the hypothalamus produces hormones that stimulate the anterior portion of the pituitary gland. The anterior pituitary in turn releases hormones that regulate hormone production by other endocrine glands. The anterior pituitary releases the thyroid-stimulating hormone, which then stimulates the thyroid gland to produce the hormones T3 and T4. As blood concentrations of T3 and T4 rise, they inhibit both the pituitary and the hypothalamus in a negative feedback loop.
Solar Energy:
Of all of the solar technologies, solar thermal systems are by far the most straightforward and the best developed. Architectural Designs are being developed to conserve solar energy by taking advantage of the site and building materials which in turn transform a building into a solar collector. There are many mechanical moving parts within an active solar thermal system.
The makeup of Solar Energy Systems and how solar panels work is best described as follows:
The solar collector (basic unit) is a panel generally made from aluminium, glass, plastic and copper. These panels when fixed to a roof absorb direct sunlight and transfer heat to a fluid that passes through the collector or basic unit. This fluid then flows through pipes into the building where it then heats water or warms the rooms.
Sunlight is converted into electricity by Photovoltaics (solar cells). These solar cells produce an electromotive force in a material as a result of its absorbing ionizing radiation.
In the case of semi-conductors, significant conversion efficiencies have been achieved however in theory this effect is also apparent in solids, liquids and gases. The most commonly used component of the solar semi-conductors is Silicon.
There are a range of different solar power systems currently available. These are

The usefulness of these Solar Cells in the Space Exploration Program has already been proven in India as well as other countries in the world. The Bhabha Atomic Research Centre in Bombay, have successfully developed Solar Cells which have been tested in the satellite Bhaskara and which also meet part of the power requirement abroad (Gupta, 1981). The likeliness for large-scale power generation to meet energy requirements on earth is even bigger.
Geothermal Energy:
Geothermal Energy is a clean and sustainable power source that comes from heat in the centre of the earth.
Hot molten rock called magma deep inside the earth’s surface has in some places pushed up towards the earth’s crust, resulting in the range of geothermal energy resources to be expanded.
Geysers are produced when water flows over these hot rocks causing steam to rise through crevices in the earth’s crust, which can then be converted into electricity.
There are three types of geothermal energy technologies:
Geothermal Electricity Production: using the earth’s heat to generate electricity.
Geothermal Direct Use: using hot water within the earth to produce heat directly.
Geothermal Heat Pumps: heating and cooling buildings using the shallow ground.
It has only recently become evident that Australia has potential for geothermal energy production, because of the perception that the resources were only found in locations that have active volcanism (which Australia doesn’t have).
However, it has been uncovered that Australia is home to suitable hot sedimentary aquifer and hot rock resources.Two projects are under development in Australia to utilise these resources, and they are hot sedimentary aquifers (HSA), and enhanced geothermal systems (EGS or hot rocks).
