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.
During the alarm stage of the stress response, the body releases adrenaline (epinephrine) and norepinephrine from the adrenal glands. These hormones prepare the body for a "fight or flight" response by increasing heart rate, elevating blood pressure, and enhancing energy availability. This physiological reaction helps the body respond quickly to perceived threats.
During the alarm stage of the stress response, the body releases adrenaline (epinephrine) and norepinephrine. These hormones are produced by the adrenal glands and trigger physiological responses such as increased heart rate, heightened alertness, and enhanced energy availability, preparing the body to confront or flee from the perceived threat. This response is part of the "fight or flight" mechanism.
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.
Goosebumps during sneezing and pooping are a result of the body's autonomic nervous system response. Sneezing triggers a sudden release of tension, often causing a brief activation of the sympathetic nervous system, which can lead to goosebumps. Similarly, during a bowel movement, the body can experience a mix of relaxation and tension, sometimes eliciting the same response. This physiological reaction is linked to the body's fight-or-flight response and can occur in various situations of sudden physical exertion or release.
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.
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.
Labor is triggered by the hormone called oxytocin and prostaglandin. release of milk is triggered by the hormone prolactin.
