Answer:

  1. Respiratory system
  2. Nervous system
  3. Circulatory system
  4. Integumentary system
  5. Endocrine system

Explanation:

During excessive hard work or sports, the respiratory system acts to provide sufficient oxygen for energy supply (ATP) - a process takes place in mitochondria. At the very beginning, the respiratory system is active. If the person doesn't intake sufficient water, he will feel tired because of heavy breathing that increases body temperature and affects metabolic reactions. A supply of water would help decrease the respiration need and so support other systems.

The nervous system (hypothalamus) regulates the body temperature which is necessary for metabolic reactions taking place within the body, i.e. homeostasis. During and after exercise, the water intake was not sufficient, this means that the hypothalamus would work to maintain the temperature as well as other metabolic mechanisms. In the case of less water intake, the nervous system would be in stress.

The circulatory system acts to transport blood and oxygen to all parts of the body. During sports activities, the oxygen supply would be high to maintain energy supply. This takes place with the combined action of the circulatory system and respiratory system. For optimal functioning, the circulatory system needs fluids (water) intake because sufficient water is already lost during sports.

The integumentary system is the system that directly protects the body from damages including dehydration. Therefore, in this case, it will be highly active.

The endocrine system consists of glands that produce hormones to control body metabolism. The body metabolism, as mentioned before, is driven through water availability. The reduced water in the body would also put the endocrine system under pressure.

What main criterion determines major divisions in tje geologic time scale?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

A) Times of major climate change

Explanation:

The geological time scale is based on major changes in Earth's climate history. This is because of the reason that climate governs the geological processes on Earth. In geology, we study the ages with the help of stratigraphical data where sediment deposition and the fossils it is hosting are the keys to understand the environmental conditions at that particular time. These conditions didn't change significantly unless the climate was changed. An example is the extinction of dinosaurs during K/T boundary event (mass extinction). The most likely reason is the hitting of a meteorite on Earth that changed the climate of Earth in a short period making it least favorable for many organisms to survive.

On the other hand, the occurrence of huge events cannot be used to establish a geological time scale because sometimes, the changes happen more slowly.

Similarly, shifts in the Earth orbits are cyclic however geological time scale doesn't reflect cyclic changes. The same climate can establish in different ages but these events are not used not as a criterion to establish a geological time scale.

In the end, the time span of humans on Earth is very small when compared with the overall geological time scale. Humans record exists from Pleistocene (2,580,000 to 11,700 years ago) to today whereas geological time scale starts in the Archean Eon (4.0 billion to 2.5 billion years ago).
