The correct answer is c. Postpartum psychosis is an extreme mental illness in which a new mother does not respond well emotionally to her new baby. This is not a voluntary disorder, which cancels out the first multiple choice option, and mothers who have diabetes actually seem to be protected from it, invalidating the second multiple choice option. The fourth multiple choice option seems to better describe postpartum depression, which is not the same as postpartum psychosis (the former is a depressive disorder, while the latter is a bipolar one).
Answer:
because they did it on youth children with the ages of 13-15 and was only 12 percent of them, when they really should be looking at older individuals so they can combat the harmful effects of tobacco in the future or make the effects less "harmful"
Explanation:
Answer:
is a thick band of neural fibers enabling communication between the two brain hemispheres.
Explanation:
A brain can be defined as an organ of soft nerve tissue that is found in the skull of vertebrates and it's typically responsible for the coordination of nervous activities, intellect and sensation.
The human brain consists of various sections and these includes;
I. Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) which resembles a bow or collar surrounding the frontal part of the corpus callosum. This is the frontal part of the cingulate cortex which helps to make complex cognitive functions such as impulse control, decision-making, emotions and empathy.
II. Ventral prefrontal cortex in humans are interconnected with the brain and are responsible for the processing of risk, empathy, fear and social decision-making
III. The Cerebral Cortex: this part of the brain primarily comprises of grey matter, foldable sheets of neurons and forms its outermost layer. Therefore, cerebral cortex is known as the outermost layer of the brain (cerebrum) and thus, makes up half of its weight. It is about 2.5 millimeters in thickness and as such it's able to fold.
The corpus callosum is a large, thick band of C-shaped neural fibers found beneath the cerebral cortex and it's saddled with the responsibility of enabling communication between the two brain hemispheres i.e the right hemisphere and the left hemisphere.
Answer:
Cortisol
Explanation:
Cortisol is a steroid hormone, one of the glucocorticoids class, produced in the cortex of the adrenal glands (a gland above the kidney). Cortisol is majorly known to be an hormone secreted in response to stress in the body but it also regulates other processes in the body including metabolism, immune response, blood sugar level etc.
The secretion of cortisol is regulated by three inter-communicating regions in the body; the hypothalamus in the brain, the pituitary gland and the adrenal gland. These three components play a vital role in cortisol production and are therefore called the Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis). When the level of cortisol is low, the hypothalamus secretes corticotrophin releasing-hormone, which induces the pituitary gland to release adrenocorticotropic hormone into the blood stream. When the adrenal gland detects high levels of this hormone in the blood stream, it then triggers it to secrete cortisol into the blood stream, which transports it round the body.
Since most cells in the body have the glucocorticoid/cortisol receptor, the way cortisol is used varies. Cortisol responds to stress by temporarily shutting down the function of some body's system that are not needed in times of crisis e.g. reproductive system
High levels of this hormone in the body has side effects as it has been attributed to be the cause of the CUSHING SYNDROME.
