The hormones that stimulate the breakdown of liver glycogen are epinephrine and glucagon. Epinephrine is the one that triggers the glycogen breakdown inside the muscle and also inside the liver. However, the liver is the one that is more active or responsive to the hormone called glucagon than the muscles. A glucagon is a hormone which is a polypeptide hidden by the cells of our pancreas called α cells whenever our blood-sugar is low. This hormone indicates the state of starving.
The correct answer is the extensor digitorum longus and fibularis tertius.
The pretibial muscles include the anterior tibialis, extensor digitorum longus, extensor hallucis longus, and peroneus tertius. As a group they are active during the swing phase and the heel-strike to foot-flat phase of gait. Fibularis is often considered as part of the extensor digitorum longus muscle.
An unknown mtDNA sample is matched to a sample of nuclear DNA that was found at a crime scene.
1. flask-shaped gland unbranched ducts=SIMPLE ALVEOLAR GLAND
2. slender, straight gland unbranched ducts = SIMPLE TUBULAR GLAND
3. combination of gland shapes = TUBULAR ALVEOLAR
4.branched ducts=COMPOUND GLAND (salivary glands)
All of them are the exocrine glands (their product is secreted on the epithelial surface).
Answer:
B. Birds allow their temperature drop in order to increase their production efficiency.
Explanation:
Most birds can drop the temperature a few centigrade degrees, while there are torpid birds capable of lowering much more. Birds can drop body temperature in response to environmental conditions. Bird species including, among others, swifts, hummingbirds and chickadees are capable of regulating body temperature during torpor state. There are different morphological and behavioral adaptative traits that enable birds to minimize the cost of thermoregulation. In the first place, epidermis surface allows heat loss to the environment, while arteries and veins in the legs help to retain heat in cold conditions.
