Human and apes have 5 fingers that are used for grasping objects, so they have the same function, but they also have a common ancestor and are closely related, that means that this is an example of homologous structures. In evolutionary biology, the term homologous structures means that there are organs and skeletal elements of animals and organisms, that by virtue of their similarity, suggest their connection to a common ancestor.
The correct answer is "anisocoria". Anisocoria is the condition when the patient's pupils are normally unequal and the patient is asymptomatic and clinically stable. This should be differentiated in cases of patient with a relative afferent pupillary defect such is patients with optic neuritis or retinal detachment or in patients with neurological deficits.
I’m not sure I’m probably rlly wrong but I think the answer is E
Calcium levels in the body are maintained by hormones. If the blood calcium level rises above a set point, calcitonin is secreted by the thyroid gland and sets into motion responses to lower the blood calcium back to the set point. If the blood calcium level falls below a set point, the parathyroid gland secretes parathyroid hormone that sets into motion responses to raise the blood calcium. These homeostatic responses are examples of:
a. positive feedback
b. effectors
c. sensors
d. negative feedback
Answer:
d. negative feedback
Explanation:
Negative feedback responses are the ones that counteract the change. Any alterations in the internal body conditions such as blood calcium levels are sensed by receptors. The information is sent to the brain which in turn commands the effectors such as endocrine glands to secrete the required hormones to restore the normal conditions. Here, changes in the calcium levels are counteracted by the secretion of calcitonin and parathyroid hormones and the calcium is maintained within a narrow range. This represents negative feedback.
