Protrusion of the upper stomach into the lower portion of the thorax.

When the upper portion of your stomach pushes through your diaphragm and into your chest cavity, it is known as a hiatal hernia. A hiatal hernia happens when the large muscle separating your chest from your abdomen gives way to the upper part of your stomach (diaphragm).

The patient's and his family's understanding of the changed relationship between the esophagus and the stomach is crucial. A section of the upper stomach slides up into the lower region of the thorax, and the diaphragm aperture through which the esophagus travels enlarges. The anomaly is not an involuntary, protruding, or twisted segment.

Select the correct statement about the function of myocardial cells. A. Each cardiac muscle cell is innervated by a sympathetic
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Option-D

Explanation:

The myocardial cells form the cardiac muscle present in the heart. The heart receives its signal from the autonomic nervous system but not all the cells receive the signals.

The SV and AV node present in the upper heart produces the potential for the contraction. The action potential gets transferred through the cell and finally reach the lower ventricle through Purkinje fibres.

This allows the contraction of both the ventricles simultaneously and sows that the heart cells contract simultaneously.

Thus, Option-D is the correct answer.
