Biology

Natalka [10]3 years ago
7 0
Answer: all of them
The rib cage is formed by 24 ribs (12 pairs). Their function is to protect the lungs, heart, and other internal organs of the thorax. They also enable the lungs to expand, facilitating breathing by expanding the chest cavity.
From those 12 pairs, 7 pairs are "true ribs" directly attached to the sternum and the rest are called "false ribs" because some are suspended or share cartilage that connects to sternum.

"the _____ controls the release of our body s stress hormone, cortisol."
zepelin [54]
The correct answer is HPA axis.

The Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis is one of the most important neuroendocrine systems, which regulates the stress response and other functions such as the digestion, mood, emotions and the immune system.

The hypothalamus, when triggered by a possible stressor, releases two hormones; the vasopressin and the corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). CRH, in turn, triggers the release of the adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) from the pituitary gland. As a result of the secretion of ACTH, cortisol is secreted by the adrenal cortex.

Cortisol is a steroid hormone, considered to be our body's stress hormone.
