Which of the following endocrine organs in the diagram below is involved in regulating milk production following childbirth?

A. Oogenesis

B. Ovulation

C. Menstruation

D. Fertilization

The process in which an ovarian follicle matures and releases a reproductive egg is called ovulation. Ovulation is one of the phases of the menstrual cycle, which also includes follicular phase, luteal phase and menstruation

A. The reaction is completed in a shorter amount of time.

B. The yield of product is increased.

C. A greater amount of heat energy is released by the reaction.

D. A more desirable product is often formed.

A catalyst is a substance that lowers the activation energy of a chemical reaction, which means that it allows the reaction to proceed faster without being consumed or changed itself. A catalyst does not affect the equilibrium of a reaction, so it does not change the amount or the type of product that is formed.

A. +35 mV

B. -55 mV

C. 0 mV

D. -80 mV

The approximate threshold value for mammalian neurons is -55mV.

A. Pulmonary

B. Aorta

C. Vena cava

D. Coronary

A myocardial infarction (MI), commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when the flow of blood to the heart is blocked. The blockage is usually due to a buildup of fat, cholesterol and other substances in the heart (coronary) arteries. The fatty, cholesterol-containing deposits are called plaques. The process of plaque buildup is called atherosclerosis. Sometimes, a plaque can rupture and form a clot that blocks blood flow. A lack of blood flow can damage or destroy part of the heart muscle.

A. Autonomic nervous system and central nervous system

B. Peripheral nervous system and central nervous system

C. Peripheral nervous system and somatic nervous system

D. Autonomic nervous system and somatic nervous system

The nervous system is divided into two major parts: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord, while the PNS consists of all the nerves outside of the CNS.

A. Terminal velocity is when the force of gravity is equal to air resistance.

B. Heavier objects take more time to reach terminal velocity.

C. The greater the number of filters, the smaller the terminal velocity

D. Heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects.

Terminal velocity is the maximum speed achieved by an object freely falling through a gas or liquid. At terminal velocity, the forces acting on the object are balanced so it is no longer accelerating. Terminal velocity is achieved when the force of gravity is equal to air resistance. From the data table you provided, we can see that as the mass of the coffee filters increases, so does the terminal velocity. This means that heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects. Therefore, conclusion D is supported by the data in the table.

A. Decrease in the concentration of calcium in the glomerulus

B. Increase in water reabsorption in the collecting duct

C. Increase in the concentration of calcium in the glomerulus

D. Decrease in water reabsorption in the collecting duct

Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) is a hormone that regulates the amount of water in the body. It is produced by the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary gland. ADH acts on the kidneys to increase the reabsorption of water from the filtrate back into the blood. This reduces the volume and increases the concentration of urine. 

A. Oviduct

B. Corpus luteum

C. Oocyte

D. Umbilical cord

Corpus luteum. The corpus luteum is a temporary structure that forms from the ruptured follicle after ovulation. It produces progesterone, which is a hormone that prepares the endometrium (the inner lining of the uterus) for implantation of a fertilized egg. If pregnancy occurs, the corpus luteum continues to secrete progesterone until the placenta takes over. 

A. Lightning strikes

B. Flooding

C. Earthquakes

D. Sunspot activity

A tsunami is a series of large waves that are caused by the displacement of a large volume of water in the ocean or a large lake. The most common cause of tsunamis is earthquakes, which can generate seismic waves that travel through the water and create sudden changes in water level.

A. Ovaries

B. Adrenal glands

C. Thyroid gland

D. Pituitary gland

Lactation is stimulated by a hormone called prolactin, which is produced by the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is a small, pea-sized organ located at the base of the brain.
