How does the thyroid gland help maintain and regulate calcium?

Biology
1 answer:
Art [367]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

When the calcium level is high in the bloodstream, the thyroid gland releases calcitonin. Calcitonin slows down the activity of the osteoclasts found in bone. This decreases blood calcium levels. When calcium levels decrease, this stimulates the parathyroid gland to release parathyroid hormone.

salantis [7]
The patients skin laceration healed nicely leaving a cicatrix, which is a scar.
A cicatrix is the scar of a healed wound - when you have a deep wound, and it gets stitched/heals on its own, after a while, that wound is going to transform into a cicatrix, which is just a fancy medical term for a scar.

Which synapse(s) are specifically responsible for the sensitization of the withdrawal response?
qaws [65]

The correct option is (e) sensory neuron to motor neuron, responsible for the sensitization of the withdrawal response.

The central nervous system receives the excitation from a sensory neuron that has been stimulated by its nociceptors. Notably, these fibres deliver excitement to the sensory neuron's cell body, which is located in the spinal cord's dorsal root ganglia. The sensory neuron in the dorsal root ganglion transmits excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) to motor neurons and interneurons after receiving the action potential from these fibres.

By releasing neurotransmitters into the central nervous system, the sensory neuron does this. Excited somatic motor neurons contract and depolarize the targeted muscles to complete the withdrawal reflex. The motor neuron, which leaves the spinal cord and enters the peripheral nervous system, is where this depolarization travels.

Therefore, sensory neuron to motor neuron is responsible for the sensitization of the withdrawal response.
