Natali [406]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer is: do not enter into a plexus and directly connect to the structures they supply.

Explanation:

<u>The </u><u>anterior rami</u><u> of the thoracic spinal nerves </u><u>from T1 to T11</u><u> give birth to the </u><u>intercostal nerves</u>, which are part of the somatic nervous system.

The intercostal nerves supply the thoracic pleura and abdominal peritoneum, and they vary from the anterior rami of the other spinal nerves in that they each take their own path without forming a plexus, <em>directly connecting to the structures they supply</em>.

The intercostal nerves are derived from the somatic nervous system, unlike the autonomic nervous system nerves that innervate the visceral pleura of the thoracic cavity. They can govern muscle contractions and give sensory information about the skin and parietal pleura as a result of this. This explains why damage to the thoracic cavity's interior wall can be felt as a severe discomfort in the damaged area. Damage to the visceral pleura causes a pain that is not localized.

Aldosterone ________. A) is secreted by the posterior pituitary B) functions to increase sodium reabsorption C) presence increas
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Option B) functions to increase sodium reabsorption.

Explanation:

Aldosterone is an hormone secreted by the cortex of the adrenal gland. The adrenal gland is situated at the superior poles of the right and left kidneys.

Aldosterone regulates sodium homeostasis and as such helps to control blood volume and blood pressure.

Aldosterone is secreted in response to decreased blood pressure (hypotension) to increase sodium reabsorption from urine, sweat, and the gut. Also excessive aldosterone levels (too high sodium) can lead to high blood pressure (hypertension).

A simplified food chain and its corresponding food web are shown here. These species are commonly found in deciduous forests of
REY [17]

Answer:

D) The fungicide will reduce the stability of the ecosystem because nutrients in the soil will be less likely to be recycled, directly impacting plant nutrition and growth.

Explanation:

Fungicide are primarily applied to an area to kill off fungi species in that place.

Fungi are very important groups of organisms. They are natural "recyclers".

In a food chain or web they can be classified as decomposers.

Decomposers are organisms that takes feeds on dead and decaying organic matter.

The produce useful materials and releases nutrients from life back into nature.

Killing them off by applying fungicides is a damaging act to their sustenance.

Without decomposers such as fungi, the ecosystem becomes less stable  and soil nutrients will not be properly recycled.

kati45 [8]
The main function of the Krebs cycle is to generate energy for the cell. The Krebs cycle is also known as the citric acid cycle and is part of cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is a series of chemical reactions that cells use to break up sugars into a form that the cell can use. Cell respiration requires oxygen to take place. Cellular respiration consists of four stages:1. the breaking down of glucose into molecules (glycolysis)2. the link reaction - this process forms a link between glycolysis and the Krebbs reaction3.
