Human growth hormone (GH) is a substance that controls your body's growth. GH is made by the pituitary gland, located at the base of the brain. GH helps children grow taller (also called linear growth), increases muscle mass, and decreases body fat.
Based on the question above, the best answer would be:
That the headless horseman had to hold his head in his arms
is because he “wanted to see what’s ahead.”
Or a simple geometric equation of SOH CAH TOA would help
solve the angle degree.
The 3 reasons plants and propagated asexually are:
1. To preserve the genetic characteristics of a particular plant
2. Propagate plants it do not produce viable seeds for example: (bananas, pineapple, seedless grape etc.)
3. Produce seed that is difficult to germinate or it has a very short.
Answer: Autocrine signal, paracrine signal and endocrine signal.
Explanation:
Testosterone is an example of hormone which shows its effect on different locations of the cells.
The autocrine signal can be defined as the siganals which shows its effect on the cell from where it is being produced. This means a cell targets itself.
Then comes the paracrine signals in which signals acts locally on the cells nearby it. The cells close together to the cells producing chemical signals is being affected.
The endocrine signals can be defined as the effect of the hormone on the distant cells. The signals is produced by the cells somewhere else but is carried through the bloodstream to the distant cells.
All of the three effects is being shown by testosterone autocrine, endocrine and paracrine.
The conduction of nerve impulses relies upon the movement of positively-charged ions across the nerve cell membrane. The entry of sodium into the cell produces a wave of positive charge that travels down the length of an axon. Then chemicals called neurotransmitters are secreted out of the end of the axon onto the next nerve in the series (the postsynpatic nerve). This narrow space in between neurons is called the synapse. These neurotransmiiters released by the presynaptic nerve bind to receptors on the postsynaptic nerve. The binding of these receptors opens up channels in this second nerve's membrane that allow sodium ions to enter the nerve cell and initiate another wave of positive charge, and so on... The nerve signal can only move as fast as these ions and neurotransmitters can diffuse to generate this process.
<span>As a professional athlete repeats a given activity many times over, the nerve cells "upregulate" their receptors, meaning that they produce additional receptors to put in the membrane. This is just a natural reaction to the nerve being repeatedly stimulated in the same way over and over. When neurotransmitter is secreted from the presynaptic neuron, there are more receptors on the postsynaptic neuron for it to bind, more channels open up, more ions enter in a shorter time and build up positive charge to create the impulse faster, and so the overall effect is faster. </span>
<span>Additionally, there are sheaths of fatty tissue (called myelin) that insulate the charge in the neuron and allow it to be conducted faster. As people age, these sheaths can start to degrade, making the nerve cell more "leaky" and causing the impulse to be conducted more slowly. </span>
