Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: 40.4 | Blood Flow and Blood Pressure Regulation By the end of this section, you will be able to: Describe the system of blood flow through the body Describe how blood pressure is regulated Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure exerted by blood on the walls of a blood vessel that helps to push blood through the body. Systolic blood pressure measures the amount of pressure that blood exerts on vessels while the heart is beating. The optimal systolic blood pressure is 120 mmHg. Diastolic blood pressure measures the pressure in the vessels between heartbeats. The optimal diastolic blood pressure is 80 mmHg. Many factors can affect blood pressure, such as hormones, stress, exercise, eating, sitting, and standing. Blood flow through the body is regulated by the size of blood vessels, by the action of smooth muscle, by one-way valves, and by the fluid pressure of the blood itself. Q: What blood pressure reading measures the pressure in the vessels between heartbeats? Choices: - metabolic - plasma - systolic - diastolic A:
A: diastolic

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: If you look up close, you would be able to see grains of sand. From this distance, you can see different layers from where the sand was laid down. This rock is sandstone. The sand grains are cemented together to make sandstone. Sandstone is a common type of sedimentary rock. Q: What type of rock is a sandstone? Choices: - igneous rocks - landform rocks - limestone rocks - sedimentary rocks A:
A: sedimentary rocks

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Adipose Tissue Adipose tissue produces and secretes several hormones involved in lipid metabolism and storage. One important example is leptin, a protein manufactured by adipose cells that circulates in amounts directly proportional to levels of body fat. Leptin is released in response to food consumption and acts by binding to brain neurons involved in energy intake and expenditure. Binding of leptin produces a feeling of satiety after a meal, thereby reducing appetite. It also appears that the binding of leptin to brain receptors triggers the sympathetic nervous system to regulate bone metabolism, increasing deposition of cortical bone. Adiponectinanother hormone synthesized by adipose cellsappears to reduce cellular insulin resistance and to protect blood vessels from inflammation and atherosclerosis. Its levels are lower in people who are obese, and rise following weight loss. Q: What type of tissue produces and secretes several hormones involved in lipid metabolism and storage? Choices: - hormonal tissue - metabolism tissue - somatic tissue - adipose tissue A:
A: adipose tissue
