Erythropoietin is a hormone that is released by the kidneys during periods of low blood oxygenation in order to increase the number of erythrocytes (red blood cells) in the serum.

Is distension or irritation the major stimulus for production of intestinal fluid of the intestinal mucosa by hypertonic or acidic chyme?

Distension is the major stimulus for production of intestinal fluid in response to hypertonic or acidic chyme. The stretching of the intestinal wall triggers the release of fluid to help dilute the chyme and aid in digestion and absorption of nutrients.


Is sunlight a stimulus?

Sunlight can be considered a stimulus because it is a source of energy that triggers responses in living organisms. For example, sunlight can stimulate plants to photosynthesize and grow, while in humans, exposure to sunlight can trigger the production of vitamin D in the skin.


Neutral stimulus is the same as what?

Neutral stimulus is the same as a conditioned stimulus before it has been paired with an unconditioned stimulus in classical conditioning. It is a stimulus that does not elicit a response initially, but can become a conditioned stimulus through association with an unconditioned stimulus.


What is a naturally occurring reaction to a particular stimulus?

The reaction to a stimulus is called a response. An intensified stimulus usually evokes a more intense response. Of course the type of response to a stimulus depends on the nature of the stimulus. Scream at someone and they likely will feel verbally attacked. The screaming is the stimulus, feeling attacked is the response.


When studying the difference threshold the stimulus that remains the same across trials is called the stimulus.?

When studying the difference threshold, the stimulus that remains the same across trials is called the "standard stimulus." This is the reference point against which changes in the other stimulus, known as the "comparison stimulus," are measured. The difference threshold refers to the minimum amount of change required in the comparison stimulus for a participant to detect a difference from the standard stimulus.

What is the relationship of kidneys and blood Oxygen?

The kidneys monitor oxygen levels in blood and if they are low then the kidneys release erythropoetin in to the blood stream. Red bone marrow cells have erythropoetin receptors and start to produce erythrocyte's in the bone marrow, then they go into the blood stream. This goes on until leaves are back to normal. Since there are more blood cell there is more oxygen carrying capacity.


What is the initial stimulus for reproductive hormone release?

The initial stimulus for reproductive hormone release is typically the pulsatile secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus. This GnRH prompts the anterior pituitary gland to release follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which are crucial for the regulation of the reproductive system. In females, this process stimulates ovarian function and menstrual cycles, while in males, it promotes spermatogenesis and testosterone production.
