Humans produce sweat as a cooling mechanism to maintain a stable internal temperature. Which of the following best explains how the properties of water contribute to this physiological process? - ANSWER The high heat of vaporization of water allows the body to remove excess heat through a phase change of water from liquid to gas A student placed a semipermeable membrane inside a U-shaped channel with two chambers, as shown. The membrane permits the movement of water but not salt. The...

What hormone stimulates the release of the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from both male and female glands? A)Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) B)Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) C)Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) D)Prolactin-releasing hormone (PRH) - ANS - c The male and female glands respond to luteinizing hormone (LH) and FSH, which are released from the anterior pituitary in response to stimulation from GnRH that is released from the hypothalamus. GHRH stimulates ...
