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.

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

A cell is defined as the structural and functional unit of an organism.

The average size of the prokaryotic cell lies between 0.1 to 10 micrometers whereas the average size of the eukaryotic cell is approximately 25 micrometers.

Four things are found in all the cells: genetic material (either DNA or RNA), cell membrane, cytoplasm, and the ribosome.

All the living cells grow and reproduce (sexually or asexually) and have the ability to respond to stimuli.

Thus, characteristics of a cell may include: cell grows and reproduces, responds to stimuli, contains DNA or RNA, not both , and contains a cell membrane.

Explain in detail how galen, a physician during the middle ages, expanded on hippocrates’ theory of the four humors and explain
Ann [662]
<span>Hippocrates believed that there are four humors in human body which need balance for a healthy being. These were:
Blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile.</span>
Galen expanded the idea of the humors and introduced four temperaments which were these:
choleric (hot / dry), melancholic (cold / dry), sanguine (warm / moist), and phlegmatic (cold / moist).
Another expansion Galen did was that he gave each humor/temperament physical and psychological qualities and said that even the food items have an association with the certain humor, those foods can effect certain humor in certain ways.

Polycystic ovary syndrome is an endocrine disorder and a common cause of chronic anovulation. In addition to the clinical manife
Scilla [17]

Answer:

1. Insulin resistance and diabetes

2. Metformin

Explanation:

Metformin can be used to treat polycystic ovary syndrome, especially for insulin-resistant women (insulin is a hormone that transports sugar into cells).

People with insulin resistance have high levels of this hormone in their blood and excess circulating insulin can aggravate manifestations of polycystic ovary syndrome, and also increase the risk of diabetes.

The main benefits of metformin in the treatment of polycystic ovaries is the normalization of menstrual irregularity and the restoration of ovulatory cycles.

Since most women with polycystic ovary syndrome are insulin resistant, metformin is a good treatment option in some cases.

However, the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome should be individualized for each woman, depending on the symptoms presented and the goal to be achieved with the treatment.
