Write a 225 word report on why each of the factors (R, K, L, S, C, and P) are important factors needed to determine the amount o
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The R, K, L, S, C, and P factors are -

R - the rainfall erosivity factor,

K - soil erodibility factor

L- the topographic factor derived from slope length

S -the topographic factor derived from slope gradient

C- the cover and management factor

P - the erosion control practice factor

Explanation:

The R, K, L, S, C, and P factors are -  

R - the rainfall erosivity factor,  which depends on geographic location. The greater is the intensity and duration of the rainfall, the higher will bethe erosion potential.  

K - soil erodibility factor,  K signifies the soil loss in tonnes/hectare (tons/acre) for any agricultural land that is cultivated and has a slope length (assumed) of 22.13 meters and slope steepness of 9%. K represents the susceptibility of a soil particle to be easily detached from the surface and carried away by rainfall and runoff. The greater is the value of K , the greater is the erodibility of the soil particles.

L- the topographic factor derived from slope length, It signifies the extent of soil being carried away when slope lengths is greater than an assumed slope length of 22.13 meters. The longer the slope , the higher is the rate of erosion.  

S -the topographic factor derived from slope gradient, It signifies the extent of soil being carried away when slope steepness is greater than an assumed slope steepness of 9%. The steeper the slope , the higher is the rate of erosion.

C- the cover and management factor, It states how effective soil and crop management systems is in terms of preventing soil loss. It is a ratio of soil loss from land under a specific crop and management system to corresponding loss from continuously fallow and tilled land. The higher the C value, the lower is the management process quality to prevent soil erosion

P - the erosion control practice factor,  It represents the after effects of practices pertaining to reduce erosion by reducing the amount and rate of the water runoff. The lower the P value, the better is the effects of practices pertaining to reduce erosion

Which of the following statement(s) is/are true regarding the adrenal glands' relationship with the autonomic nervous system?
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The true statements regarding the adrenal glands' relationship with the autonomic nervous system are:

a. The adrenal cortex is an extension of the parasympathetic nervous system.

c. The adrenal glands are strictly nerve tissue.

d. The parasympathetic division stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete glucocorticoids.

e. The adrenal medulla is penetrated by the fibers of the sympathetic nervous system.

Explanation:

The  levels of the central nervous system which play important roles in influencing the autonomic nervous system include cerebral cortex, hypothalamus, brain stem, and spinal cord.  Usually, epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine are released into the blood stem when stress or a threat occurs.  This alert serves as a warning signal and defense system.  The purpose is to maintain homeostasis.

Where is the pyramidal decussation?
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Pyramidal decussation is at the junction of medulla and spinal cord.

Explanation:

Pyramidal decussation may be defined as the the fibers that cross the corticospinal tract from one side to the junction and the other side to the central nervous system.

Pyramidal decussation is the point at the junction between spinal cord and medulla. The motor fibers crosses the midline from the medullary pyramids.
