Summary Introduction
To review:
The part of brain which is the main integration center of the autonomic nervous system and the part that exerts direct influence on autonomic functions.
Introduction:
There are two different parts of nervous system, namely- CNS (central nervous system) and PNS (peripheral nervous system). PNS is comprised of two different divisions which regulates activities of different organs. The two divisions of PNS are ANS (autonomic nervous system) and SNS (somatic nervous system).

PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.
How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population?

You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different. (Editor’s note: Providing this information in your discussion will help readers to consider the significance of the research).arrow_forward
