The elevated blood potassium prompts aldosterone discharge from the adrenal cortex. The aldosterone is foremost mineralocorticoid hormone which is a steroid hormone formed by the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex in the adrenal gland however the adrenal cortex is the outside portion of the gland that yields hormones that are vivacious to life such as cortisol which aids control metabolic rate and helps the body react to anxiety and aldosterone which aids control blood pressure.
<h2>Down Syndrome</h2>
Explanation:
Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused when abnormal cell division results in an extra full or partial copy of chromosome 21
- Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused when abnormal cell division results in an extra full or partial copy of chromosome 21
- Down syndrome is usually caused by an error in cell division called nondisjunction which results in an embryo with three copies of chromosome 21 instead of the usual two
- Prior to or at conception, a pair of 21st chromosomes in either the sperm or the egg fails to separates
- With development in embryo the extra chromosome is replicated in every cell of the body;this type of Down syndrome which accounts for 95% of cases is called trisomy 21
- Maternal age is the only factor that has been linked to an increased chance of having a baby with Down syndrome resulting from nondisjunction;here environmental agents such as drugs, chemicals, and radiation act as mutagens which induce mutation in the fetus
Insulin and glucagon are both enzymes that regulate the levels of sugar in the blood
