salmonella
Is arrector pilli assist in maintaining skin tonus?
Yes, the arrector pili muscles contribute to maintaining skin tone. These small muscles are attached to hair follicles and contract in response to various stimuli, causing the hair to stand on end and the skin to form "goosebumps." This contraction helps to firm the skin and provide support.
What type of allele is responsible for causing duchenne muscular dystrophy?
sex linked recessive
What factor is responsible causing most of the interstellar material to condense forming your sun?
gravitational attraction
Why don't goosebumps form on the wrist?
Goosebumps can only form where you have hair follicles. The bump is formed by the muscle causing the hair to stand up straight when you are cold or scared or whatever else causes you to get goosebumps. But on hairless areas of your body, you will not get goosebumps.
Which hormone change is responsible for causing an egg to be released?
The ovulation process is the process that releases an egg in the female reproductive system. It's caused by the release of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone.
Where do you get goosebumps?
Goosebumps occur when tiny muscles at the base of each hair follicle contract, causing the hair to stand upright. This response is triggered by emotions like fear or excitement, as well as exposure to cold temperatures as a way for the body to conserve heat.
During the menstrual cycle LH and FSH peak causing?
Follicle to release a mature egg
Do goosebumps make your leg hair grow back faster?
I don't usually post answers on these things, but I'm getting tired of hearing my girlfriends tell me that their hair grows faster when they get goosebumps, so I figure I'll just clear this up once and for all. No, goosebumps do not make hair grow faster. It is a myth that has been fabricated and spread around by women (and some men) who feel that their skin is prickly when they get goosebumps even if it was perfectly smooth just moments before. So, lets think about this logically and scientifically. Every hair in our bodies is rooted at the base of a hair follicle, which is located just under the surface of the skin. When we shave, what we are doing is trimming, or shaving the hair that is just above the skin. Goosebumps occur when the hair follicles contract and squeeze together causing the base of the follicle to be pushing up, and along with it, the unshaven hair that was sitting under the skin just a second ago, but is now pushed above the skin, giving us that prickly feeling. The important part to remember in all this is that once the goosebumps go away, the contracted follicles that are pushing the hair up relax, bringing the hair back down under the skin, because the hair is, of course still attached to the base of the follicle! And so was abolished the goosebump/ fast hair growing myth☺
What are hair follicles composed of?
A hair follicle is part of the skin that grows hair by packing old cells together. Attached to the follicle is a sebaceous gland, a tiny sebum-producing gland found everywhere except on the palms, lips and soles of the feet. The thicker density of hair, the more sebaceous glands are found.Also attached to the follicle is a tiny bundle of muscle fiber called the arrector pili that is responsible for causing the follicle lissis to become more perpendicular to the surface of the skin, and causing the follicle to protrude slightly above the surrounding skin (piloerection). This process results in goose bumps (or goose flesh). Stem cells are located at the junction of the arrector and the follicle, and are principally responsible for the ongoing hair production during a process known as the Anagen stage.The average growth rate of healthy hair follicles on the scalp is 400 µm per day.Certain species of Demodex mites live in the hair follicles of mammals (including those of humans) where they feed on sebum.* epithelial cells from the dermis
Does caffeen cause overian cysts?
no.. The normal function of the ovaries is to produce an egg each month. During the process of ovulation, a cyst-like structure called a follicle is formed inside the ovary. The mature follicle ruptures when an egg is released during ovulation. A corpus luteum forms from the empty follicle, and if pregnancy does not occur, the corpus luteum dissolves. Sometimes, however, this process does not conclude appropriately, causing the most common type of ovarian cyst -- functional ovarian cysts.
What is responsible for causing accretion?
gravitation
A pathogen is an agent that is?

Do low levels of FSH and LH affect fertility?
Yes, low levels of both hormones could affect fertility, generally negatively. FSH stands for follicle stimulating hormone - without the constant stimulation of this hormone, a follicle will not develop to the point of being a fertile egg or oocyte. LH stands for luteinizing hormone and is the hormone responsible for causing a fertile oocyte to rupture from the ovary and travel into the Fallopian tube where it can be fertilized.
