During the t wave of the electrocardiogram, the ventricles are electrically repolarizing and functionally relaxing.

The T Wave shows ventricular repolarization when the ventricles relax after contracting and depolarizing. The ST segment shows the period between ventricular depolarization and repolarization, which is the space (a flat or slightly upcurved line) between the S wave and the T wave.

Although absent or downward sloping ST segments may suggest myocardial ischemia, a raised ST segment is the typical sign of myocardial infarctions. The U wave, which denotes the repolarization of the Purkinje fibres, comes after the T wave.

Because it is a relatively little wave in relation to the others, it does not usually appear on an ECG.

A phagocytic cell has a mutation in a gene for a hydrolytic enzyme that renders the enzyme nonfunctional. What is the most likel

pshichka [43]

Answer: The phagocyte’s ability to destroy the ingested pathogen is compromised and it will become inactive.

Explanation:

There are different hydrolytic enzymes. Lysozyme attacks cell walls of gram positive bacteria. Elastase is a protease. Collagenase attacks collagen, produced by some bacteria. Plasminogen activator is also a protease.

Loss of function of any one of these enzymes will reduce or prevent the breakdown of bacteria in the phagosome (vacuole) so that the phagocyte is inactivated.

Answer:

A hematocrit value of your blood would be greater than normal because of dehydration.

Explanation:

The hematocrit value is an indicator of the proportion of the solid components of blood (red blood cells) with respect to the liquid component (it means plasma). When you are severely dehydrated, the proportion of plasma diminish while the solid components remain the same. In consequence, the red blood cells concentration will be greater and the hematocrit value (solid components/plasma) will be higher than normal. This condition is reversible, if you drink enough water, your hematrocrit values will be normal again.
