Aldosterone increases the reabsorption of sodium ions bringing more back into the blood.
<span>This is the main mineralocorticoid hormone of the adrenal gland. The function of the aldosterone is in the homeostatic regulation of blood pressure, plasma sodium (reabsorption) and potassium levels (excretion).</span>
A Nerve electrical impulse only travels in one direction. There are several reasons nerve impulses only travel in one direction. The most important is synaptic transport.
In order for a "nerve impulse" to pass from cell to cell, it must cross synaptic junctions. The nerve cells are lined up head to tail all the way down a nerve track, and are not connected, but have tiny gaps between them and the next cell. These tiny gaps are called synapses.
When you get a nerve firing, you have probably heard that it is an electrical impulse that carries the signal. This is true, but it is not electrical in the same way your wall outlet works. This is electrochemical energy. Neurotransmitters are molecules that fit like a lock and key into a specific receptor. The receptor is located on the next cell in the line. When the neurotransmitter hits the receptor on the next cell in line, it signals that cell to begin a firing as well.
This will continue all the way down the length of the nerve track. In a nutshell, a nerve firing results in a chain reaction down the nerve cell's axon, or stemlike section. Sodium (Na+) ions flow in, potassium (K+) ions flow out, and we get an electrochemical gradient flowing down the length of the cell. You can think of it as a line of gunpowder that someone lit, with the flame traveling down the length of it. Common electrical power is more like a hose full of water, and when you put pressure on one end, the water shoots out the other.
Therefore, nerve impulses cannot travel in the opposite direction, because nerve cells only have neurotransmitter storage vesicles going one way, and receptors in one place.
Answer:
<u>Some overall examples of biotic and abiotic factors are listed below.</u>
<u>Biotic factors: predators, competitors for food, competitors for space, parasitism, disease, animals, plants.</u>
<u>Abiotic factors: sunlight, wind, soil, atmosphere, water, temperature, humidity, UV radiation, salinity, pH levels.</u>
Since no table is given, I will explain how genes are inherited. After Mendel’s discoveries were
accepted, scientists realized that traits passed to offspring were the result
of genes being passed from parents to offspring. This is an example of the law
of inheritance. The genes that are passed down from the parents are being
shared by the offspring. It can be shown if the trait is recessive or dominant
from the parents’ gene. <span>Chromosomes
are inherited from the parents. One chromosome from each of 23 pairs came from
each of the parents. The two chromosomes of a pair (except for the sex
chromosomes) contain the same genes, but the genes have small differences. The
X and Y Chromosomes determine the organism’s sex. One chromosome pair - the sex
chromosomes - is unique. Typically females have two X chromosomes and males
have an X and a Y. Mothers always pass an X chromosome on to their children.
Whether the father passes on his X chromosome (leading to a pair of X
chromosomes) or his Y chromosome (making a mixed set) determines your sex. </span>
