24 hours is the maximum amount of time that agitation of platelets can be stopped.

<h3>What are platelets?</h3>

Platelets are pieces of very large cells in the bone marrow called megakaryocytes. They aid in the formation of blood clots that help wounds heal and to slow or stop bleeding. It can be problematic to have platelets that are too many, too few, or aren't functioning properly.

Platelets' main job is to stop and prevent bleeding. The body sends signals to platelets that direct them to the affected location when a blood artery is damaged. Adults typically have between 150,000 and 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood, which is considered normal. Less than 150,000 platelets per microliter indicate a low platelet count. People with thrombocytopenia have low platelet levels. We can bleed heavily and bruise easily if our platelet counts are low.

Which of the following statements is TRUE?
erica [24]

"The origin of a muscle is attached to the bone that does NOT move" is true among the following statements.

The origin and insertion of an attachment are the points of attachment. When a muscle contracts, the point of attachment known as the origin remains stationary. As a result, when contraction occurs, the origin bone is the more immobile of the two bones at the joint.

Skeletal muscles have two or more points of attachment to bone, or occasionally to other muscles or tissues. The attachment is said to as having an origin if the location is a bone that is stationary during an action. The attachment is referred to be an insertion if the location is on the bone that moves during the motion.

The triceps brachii has four places of attachment: three origins and one insertion on the ulna (two on the humerus and one on the scapula).

Andrei [34K]

Microorganisms in their digestive tracts hydrolyze the cellulose to individual glucose units.

Cellulose- The stable formation of plant cell walls is greatly aided by cellulose, a hard, fibrous, and water-insoluble polysaccharide. The fibrils (bundles of microfibrils) and microfibrils (bundles of polysaccharide) made up of cellulose chains make up the plant cell wall.

Glucose- The primary form of sugar in the blood, glucose serves as the body's cells' principal source of energy. Glucose may be produced by the body from other chemicals or it can be obtained from the meals we eat. The circulation carries glucose to the cells. Insulin is one of many hormones that regulate blood glucose levels.
