Answer:

The correct answer is: The ventromedial hypothalamus plays a role in satiety.

Explanation:

The hypothalamus is a part of the brain that controls many important bodily functions and connects both the nervous system with the endocrine system. The hypothalamus consists of several nuclei that have diverse functions and are located in 3 different regions.

The nucleus that plays a role in satiety is the ventromedial nucleus, terminating hunger and giving a sensation of fullness. It also plays a significant role in thermoregulation, among other things.

Neuropeptide Y, on the other hand, is a peptide that is released to make us feel hungry and encourage us to intake food (primarily carbohydrates).

Cholecystokinin is a hormone released by the small intestines after we had a meal, and its function is to improve digestion and make us feel full.

Fat cells DO release leptin, but the function of this hormone is to produce satiety, by stimulating anorexigenic (meaning they take hunger away) hormones and inhibiting orexigenic ones, like Neuropeptide Y.

Correctly label the following anatomical features of a neuron. Axon Axon terminals Myelin sheath Soma Internode Nucleus Node of

Ratling [72]

A neuron is a specialized cell, found in the brain, spinal cord and the peripheral nerves known as the nerve cell. The structure of a neuron varies with their shape and size and it mainly depends upon their functions

<h3>what is the structure of neuron ?</h3>

Dendrites which is A branch-like structure that functions by receiving messages from other neurons and allow the transmission

Cell Body has a cell body with a nucleus, Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and other components.

Axon is a tube-like structure that functions by carrying an electrical impulse from the cell body to the axon terminals

Synapse functions by permitting the entry of a neuron to move an electrical or chemical signal from one neuron to another neuron.

How did watson and crick make useful inference from franklin's x-ray studies of DNA.

swat32

Answer:

Rosalind Franklin made an X-ray image of the DNA molecule, that has revealed the following:

1. The nitrogenous bases are near the center of the DNA molecule

2. DNA molecule is composed out of two strands

3. DNA molecule has the shape of a helix

Watson and Crick made the first model of the DNA molecule based on that very picture. They concluded that the strands are antiparallel and that they are composed of nucleotides.
