The Sierra Nevada mountain range is located primarily in California. Warm, moist air from the Pacific Ocean travels up the western side of the mountain range, causing precipitation, and drying out as it reaches the top of the mountains. As the dry air comes down the eastern side of the mountain range, it causes a rain shadow. The Great Basin region of Nevada is located in this rain shadow. How does this affect the climate of the Great Basin region of Nevada?

Oxytocin and cholecystokinin are transported through the bloodstream and arrive at the uterus at the same time. oxytocin causes the uterus to contract, whereas cholecystokinin has no effect. why? oxytocin blocks the activity of cholecystokinin. oxytocin is at a higher concentration in the bloodstream than cholecystokinin. oxytocin can diffuse through the plasma membrane of uterine cells, whereas cholecystokinin cannot. oxytocin alters gene expression patterns, whereas cholecystokinin does not. the uterus has receptors for oxytocin, but not for cholecystokinin.
