Answer: b. causes the gastric glands to increase production of gastric juice.

Explanation:

The parasympathetic nerves are part of the autonomous nervous system. The parasympathetic predominates mainly during "passive responses" of the organism, such as satiety, rest and digestion. Its functions are: Promotes energy conservation, Reduces heart rate, Promotes glandular secretion, Protects the retina from excess light, Promotes emptying of cavities, Promotes rest and repair, Physiologically antagonizes sympathetic nervous system.

Answer:

b. causes the gastric glands to increase production of gastric juice

Explanation:

Parasympathetic stimulation is a function that is carried out by the Parasympathetic Nervous System which is a part of the Autonomic Nervous System.

Parasympathetic stimulation results in the process of digestion, production of saliva, production of urine, Production of tears, decrease in the heart rate and blood pressure.

Parasympathetic stimulation is involves in the process of digestion because after the injection of food , when the body is at rest, Parasympathetic stimulation increase the rate of the digestion process by, stimulating the gastric glands so that they can produce more gastric juice. This gastric juice contains enzymes and some other substances such as

a. Pepsin for the digestion of protein.

b. Renin

c. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) in other to deactivate any bacteria found food present in the stomach.

d. Mucus which helps to protect the lining of the digestive system.

Explica el impacto del desarrollo de las técnicas moleculares en los sistemas de clasificación de los organismos.

docker41 [41]

Answer:

Las técnicas moleculares, especialmente aquellas basadas en la manipulación del material genético, permitieron automatizar el proceso de identificación y clasificación de especies

Explanation:

Las técnicas moleculares usadas para la clasificación de organismos son aquellas principalmente relacionadas a la manipulación de su material genético. En especial, las técnicas de extracción de ADN, amplificación mediante la reacción en cadena de la polimerasa (PCR) y posterior secuenciación han posibilitado automatizar el proceso de clasificación de organismos. Los marcadores moleculares de ADN basados en secuencias génicas evolutivamente conservadas tales como, por ejemplo, la secuencia del gen Citocromo Oxidasa I (COI) en animales, son ampliamente usados para automatizar este proceso de identificación y clasificación de nuevas especies.

Several cities have now banned __________, which are a type of fat.

Furkat [3]

The correct answer is "trans fatty acids".

Trans fatty acids (colloquially as trans fats) are a type of unsaturated fatty acids wherein instead having its double bonds in the cis configuration giving the fatty acid "kinks" in the molecules making it more soluble; the double bonds in trans fats are in the trans configuration (hence the name) and this will not give the molecule kinks making it less soluble. Less soluble trans fats are notorious in depositing in peripheral arteries as well as in coronary arteries that increase the risk for developing atherosclerosis.
