Her hypothalamus will secrete vasopressin. If her dehydration becomes severe, her secretion of vasopressin will increase.
<h3>What is vasopressin?</h3>
- The posterior pituitary gland releases the peptide hormone vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone.
- Which is produced by the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus (neurohypophysis).
- It primarily functions as an anti-diuretic in the kidney, where it causes the body to reabsorb water by acting on the distal region of the nephron when it is dehydrated.
- The AVP gene for it is found on human chromosome 20.
- Vasopressin has an antidiuretic effect; it reduces the volume of urine by raising the collecting tube's water permeability.
- It attaches to the G protein-coupled V2 receptor, which in turn starts a signaling cascade through the PKA.
- Aquaporin 2 (a transmembrane pore) is produced as a result, and it is then transported to the apical/urinary membrane.

Stars begin to form from clouds of gas in space. The cold temperatures and high densities (compared to elsewhere in space, but would be considered a vacuum on Earth) of these clouds allow gravity to overcome thermal pressure and start the gravitational collapse that will form a star.
Answer:
a The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood.
Explanation:
This is the the only artery that transports deoxygented blood in mammals. specifically it carry deoxgenated blood from the the atria to the pulmonary circulation. That is to the lungs for the exchange of the C02 in the deoxygenated blood with oxygen in the lungs.
The blood thus become oxygenated,and therefore return through the pulmonary veins to the left ventricle.
From the left ventricle ,through ventricular systole,blood is empty into the aorta through the aortic valves into the systemic circulation.
Although,they carry blood away from the heart,but the blood is de oxygenated instead of the usual oxygenated by arteries,They are still regarded as arteries because of convey of blood away from the heart,a typical role of arteries
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. The continent that was not covered by ice during the Pleistocene ice age. This is because the southern location of this nation made it much harder for ice to form, even during this time. Hope this answers the question.
