Question
Chapter 15, Problem 12CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
The peripheral reflex along with its differences from spinal reflex.
Introduction:
The autonomic nervous system is responsible for the regulation of the visceral (internal) activities of the organs by the means of sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. The sympathetic division is mostly activated during the fight or flight responses. The parasympathetic division brings the body fluids to their normal range and hence, reduces the heart rate and blood pressure. The visceral nervous system stimulates the function of the visceral organs by both sensory and motor neurons.

What are biofertilizers and mention the significance
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?
Based on your reading of the materials in this unit, what factors can affect fertility in humans?
Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.
