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.

Explanation:

The main function of the nerve cells is to send a signal from the brain to other parts of the body, or vice versa. The longest nerve cell would be the one who connects the brain with the receptor in your toe. This mean nerve cell length can be as long as the human height. If the human is 6 feet tall in life, that will be about 1.8m tall.

Which of the following would most likely be found in the sands at Myrtle Beach?
sergejj [24]

The correct answer is option A, that is, placer deposits.  

The concentration of heavy deposits known as the placer deposits are produced by the gravitational action, generally found in streams. The minerals that take place as placer deposits comprise copper, gold, magnetite, cassiterite, and copper.  

The formation of placer deposits takes place when the metal-bearing rock on land is weathered and the generated debris is washed down to the sea by the rivers. Further by the action of waves, currents, and rides the particles of heavy metal gets amassed to produce mineral sand deposits. These generally occur as beach deposits.
