In this case, the damper is normally opened by the force of the spring but can be closed by the force of the motor. Removal of electrical power re-opens the damper. This style of damper is advantageous because it is fail safe; if the control to the damper fails, the damper opens and allows air to flow.
The adrenal glands, located on the top of each kidney, are responsible for releasing different classes of hormones. The outer part of the gland, called the adrenal cortex, produces the hormones cortisol (pronounced KAWR-tuh-sohl) and aldosterone (pronounced al-DOS-tuh-rohn). The inner part of the gland, called the adrenal medulla (pronounced muh-DUHL-uh), produces the hormones adrenaline and noradrenaline.
What is the function of the medulla? The medulla oblongata is responsible for many of the autonomic functions of the body, including breathing, swallowing, heart rate and the proper working of blood vessels. The medulla also relays neural messages between the brain and the spinal cord. The medulla oblongata is a region of the brainstem.
