Receptors in thecervix detect the pressure caused by the baby and cause the release of a hormone calledoxytocin. This hormone stimulates stronger uterine contractions, which push more on thebaby, causing an increase in pressure and another increase in oxytocin. The cycle continuesuntil the baby is delivered from the mother.B)During a blood clot, platelets release ADP, which stimulates platelet aggregation, causingplatelets to release more ADP.C)During an infection, the body temperature set point is increased. The hypothalamuscommunicates to skeletal muscles to shiver and to blood vessels to decrease blood flow to theskin, causing a rise in body temperature.D)If blood pressure increases above normal, baroreceptors in major arteries detect the changeand send signals to the brain. Certain areas of the brain then send signals to the nerves thatcontrol the heart and blood vessels to make the heart beat slower and the blood vesselsincrease in diameter, which in turn reduce the blood pressure.E)Consumption of caffeine increases urine output, causing dehydration.Answer:DExplanation:A)B)C)D)E)11
