Crossed-extensor reflex prevents you from falling when you suddenly lift one foot off the ground in response to pain.

  • A withdrawal reflex is the crossed extensor reflex. In the withdrawing limb, the extensors relax while the flexors contract, but in the other limb, the opposite happens.
  • This can be seen, for instance, when someone steps on a nail; the affected leg pulls away, while the other leg bears the weight of the entire body.
  • Contralateral means that the crossed extensor reflex takes place on the side of the body that is opposite from the stimulus.
  • Afferent nerve fiber branches travel from the stimulated side of the body to the opposite side of the spinal cord to cause this response.
  • They make connections with interneurons there, which then stimulate or inhibit alpha motor neurons to he muscles of the contralateral limb.

nignag [31]

Answer:

In conditions of low or no oxygen the process of anaerobic respiration occurs. The 'an' in 'anaerobic' means without. During anaerobic respiration, the oxidation of glucose is incomplete - not all of the energy can be released from the glucose molecule as it is only partially broken down.

What is meant my urbanization and industrialization? How they degrade the environment ​
Whitepunk [10]
Urbanization is defined as “the process of making an area more urban” or an increase in the amount of people living in towns or cities. Industrialization is defined as “the development of industries in a country or region on a wide scale” meaning a strong military with modern weapons, factories to create things, modern cars and boats etc. Urbanization and industrialization put a strain on the environment because of carbon gases emitted, effectively warming the earth up, destruction of trees which lowers our overall oxygen available, destruction of animal homes which will kill animals or cause unwanted interactions between humans and animals, and the pollution of natural resources such as local ponds, streams or the ocean.

A client is experiencing chest pain and self-administers nitroglycerine sublingually. when should the client expect to notice re
o-na [289]

Nitroglycerin relaxes the arteries and veins. It pools the blood in the extremities dropping blood pressure. Chest pain relief can be expected in 1-3 minutes. Because it is administered sublingually, it is absorbed directly in the bloodstream. If the chest pain did not improve in 5 minutes, it should be repeated. It can be repeated the third time( after 5 minutes from second dose). If the pain doesn't subside after 3 doses, emergency care is needed.
