During the alarm stage of the stress response, the body releases hormones like adrenaline and cortisol to prepare the body for the "fight or flight" response to a threat. These hormones increase heart rate, blood pressure, and alertness to mobilize resources for a quick response to the danger perceived.
Yes, combustion is a process that releases potential energy stored in a substance in the form of heat and light. During combustion, a substance reacts with oxygen to produce energy in the form of heat and chemical energy.
A substance loses energy during cooling and evaporation processes. During cooling, heat is transferred away from the substance, lowering its temperature. During evaporation, the substance loses energy as molecules escape from its surface, causing it to undergo a phase change from liquid to gas.
False. The temperature of a substance remains constant during a change in state until all of the substance has completed the phase change.
There are a number of chemicals, I assume you are interested in the main one, which is Histamine. Histamine triggers the inflammatory response and increases the permeability (the ability to pass through the wall) of the capillaries to white blood cells to fight foreign bodies (the allergen) in the body. When you get hay fever you go to the chemist to get an anti-histamine so as to stop the body's normal response to the allergen like running nose or watery eyes.
During evaporation, a substance gains energy from its surroundings to break the intermolecular bonds and escape as a gas. This results in a cooling effect on the surroundings as energy is absorbed by the substance.
Positive feedback loop is the process in which a physiological change triggers further change in the same direction. The initial change leads to more of the same change, amplifying the response. An example is the release of oxytocin during childbirth, which stimulates contractions leading to more oxytocin release.
Oxytocin release is a positive feedback control mechanism. This means that an initial stimulus triggers the release of oxytocin, which then promotes further release of oxytocin, amplifying the response until a specific outcome is achieved, such as uterine contractions during childbirth.
During a fight or flight response, the release of stress hormones like adrenaline (epinephrine) triggers an increase in heart rate. This physiological response is designed to prepare the body for immediate action by supplying more oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and brain.
Yes, ATP production occurs during the fight or flight response. When the body perceives a threat or stress, it triggers the release of adrenaline, which signals cells to increase energy production. This increase in ATP production provides the energy needed for muscles to react quickly to the perceived danger.
yes they can release a thick substance that is not urine
During periods of high emotion, the sympathetic nervous system is activated, leading to the release of stress hormones such as adrenaline. This triggers an increase in heart rate and respiration to prepare the body for "fight or flight" response. This physiological response is meant to provide the body with the energy needed to cope with the stressful situation.
The activation of the sympathetic nervous system during stress triggers the "fight or flight" response in the body. This leads to increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, and the release of stress hormones like adrenaline, preparing the body to react quickly to the perceived threat.
Labor is triggered by the hormone called oxytocin and prostaglandin. release of milk is triggered by the hormone prolactin.
The skin produces sebum, an oily substance that helps protect and moisturize the skin. The synthesis of sebum is triggered by hormones, particularly androgens like testosterone, which increase during puberty.
During a sympathetic response, your pupils will dilate to allow more light to enter the eye, helping you to see better in a fight or flight situation. This response is driven by the release of adrenaline and is part of the body's automatic response to stress or danger.
Preparing the body for the fight-or-flight response during threatening situations is primarily the role of the emotion known as fear. When faced with a perceived threat, fear triggers the release of stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol, which prepare the body for quick action. This response increases heart rate, redirects blood flow to muscles, and heightens alertness, enabling individuals to either confront or flee from danger.
Actualy white blood cells release histamine.
