Heart rate, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels are increased in times of emergency by
a) the parasympathetic nervous system.
b) stress hormones.
c) the immune system.
d) glucose.

The correct answer is -

B) stress hormones.

Explanation:

Emergency situations can be caused by any Emotional or physical stress that may include anxiety, fear, anger, tension and other physiological stress such as injury, infection etc.

These situations lead to the activation of sympathetic nervous system, which ultimately causes the secretion of stress hormones (such as cortisol, which is primary stress hormone) from adrenal gland in bloodstream.

As a consequence, blood pressure, heart rate, and blood sugar level of the person rises.

Thus, option B) is the right answer.

characterization of nanoparticles is a critical step in nanomaterial production as it provides information of dimension, morphology, surface charge, distribution and degree of surface functionalization.

an individual’s sex (i.e., whether they are a male or female) is determined by the sex chromosomes. most people have two sex chromosomes, one that is inherited from their mother and one that is inherited from their father. typically, females have two x chromosomes (xx) and males have one x chromosome and one y chromosome (xy). conditions caused by changes (“mutations”) in genes located on the x chromosome are considered x-linked.

x-linked recessive inheritance

most x-linked conditions are recessive. this means that in a person with two x chromosomes (most females), both copies of a gene (i.e., one on each x chromosome) must have a change or mutation whereas in a person with one x chromosome (most males), only one copy of a gene must have a mutation. a female with a mutation in one copy of a gene on the x chromosome is said to be a “carrier” for an x-linked condition. a male with a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome is typically affected with the condition. because females have two copies of the x chromosome and males have only one x chromosome, x-linked recessive diseases are more common among males than females. however, x-linked recessive diseases can occur in both males and females.

for x-linked recessive disorders, an unaffected carrier mother who has a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome can transmit either the x chromosome with this mutation or a “normal” x chromosome to her children. if the father is unaffected, none of her daughters will be affected and all of her daughters will be unaffected—since they will inherit at least one normal x chromosome from their father. however, each daughter will have a 50% chance of being an unaffected carrier like her mother and a 50% chance of both x chromosomes being normal.
