Answer:

Sympathetic nervous system activation constricts arteries found within the salivary glands

Explanation:

The ANS controls the  involuntary contraction of the heart cardiac muscles, glands, intestine,the peripheral resistance of vascular systems, and the rate of pumping of the blood by the heart.

Thus, the ANS system during stressful conditions increases the blood  pressure,heart rate, constrict blood vessels in glands and intestine and dilate the pupils, in anticipation for fight or flight.

kozerog [31]

Answer:

1. Reducing

2. External

Explanation:

The external urinary sphincter, also called as external urethral sphincter consists of skeletal muscles. During micturition reflex, the micturition center present in the brain serves to inhibit the somatic motor neurons by reducing their action potential. These somatic motor neurons innervate in the external urinary sphincter.  

Inhibition of somatic motor neurons of the external urinary sphincter results in relaxation of the sphincter to facilitate the act of urination.

Answer:

The correct answer is (A) gene A is a positive regulator of gene B.

Explanation:

When positive regulation occurs a transcription factor is required to bind at the promoter in order to enable RNA polymerase to start transcription.

RNA means ribonucleic acid and it is a long single-stranded chain of cells that processes protein.

what's the process in body cells that directly requires oxygen and identify the structure in red blood that transports oxygen to
Elis [28]

Your body cells use oxygen you breath to get energy from the foods you eat. The process is called "Cellular Respiration." This process or function consists of the cell using oxygen to break down sugars in the body. When the cell uses the oxygen to break down sugars, carbon-dioxide is produced and energy is released, thus producing the energy your body needs.


"Hemoglobin" is a protein with Red Blood cells (also referred to as RBC's) that are responsible for the transport of oxygen. The Cardiovascular System consists of the heart and vessels and may also be referred to as the vascular system or the circulatory system. The heart functions as a muscular pump that pushes blood through the vessels to all areas of the body and the vessels function to carry it back to the heart as well. Hence the name "circulatory."
