What effect on the body does a lack of insulin have?
ludmilkaskok [199]
Insulin is such a vital secretion of the pancreas in the human body that without it, our body would not function normally. It is responsible for breaking down the food we eat and converting it to energy and then storing that energy. Lack of insulin means that the pancreas are not producing insulin which leads to diabetes. That means that there is a concentration of glucose in the blood rather than being distributed to cells to carry out functions. This can lead to kidney failures,  nerve damaging stomach problems and problems in the eyes.

What causes the doldrums to be calm winds?
arlik [135]

Earth revolves around the sun, keeping doldrums stationary causes the doldrums to be calm winds. Thus, the correct option is C.

<h3>Why are the doldrums so calm?</h3>

The Intertropical Convergence Zone, also known as the doldrums or calms by sailors due to its constant lack of wind, is the area where the northeast and southeast trade winds meet. It encircles the Earth near the thermal equator, however its exact location changes with the seasons.

The sunlight beams down directly on the area around the equator, the Doldrums are caused by solar radiation from the sun. Instead of blowing horizontally, this heating causes the air to warm and climb straight up. As a result, there is little or no wind for weeks at a time.

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

The thyroid is an endocrine gland that regulates metabolic function through the production of all of the following hormones except: Thyroliberin.

Thyrotropin is a peptide secreted by the anterior pituitary gland that prompts the thyroid gland to release thyroxine. It is also known as thyroliberin and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) Thyrotropin-releasing factor, a peptide located in the hypothalamus of the brain and affecting glandula thyroidea secretion, acts to cause the release of TSH.

In vivo, thyrotropin controls thyroid development favourably. The gland becomes hypoplastic in its absence, either as a result of a pituitary disorder or as a side effect of thyroid hormone therapy, with a reduction in the quantity and size of thyrocytes.

Why rapid binge drinking is more dangerous than slower consumption of alcohol?
Tpy6a [65]
The same way we never inject a full bag of anything quickly and intravenously. Your body would not be able to compensate for the amount of the substance. Alcohol or more importantly the Ethanol or Ethyl Alcohol in alcoholic beverages is the active ingredient of such beverages. It is also a drug called a CNS (Central Nervous System) depressant which means it is in the same class category of Opioids (Such as Heroin and Morphine) and Barbiturates (Rophynol). Your body processes alcohol via the liver, as it is also considered a toxin. By consuming a massive amount of alcohol without spacing it out, you will overload your system, not only literally overwhelming your liver and causing Alcohol Poisoning, but you also can go into a state similar to a Heroin overdose.
