and physiology of defibrillation treatment? a. interruption of disorganized impulses by the current allows the av node to readopt its normal pacemaker role. b. the goal is to depolarize the entire heart during the passage of current. c. defibrillation can be achieved using either a transcutaneous or transvenous pacemaker. d. defibrillation must be coincided with the r wave of the ecg in order to be successful.

Defibrillation is a method of emergency medicine that can stop ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia. An electricity is used to reset the electrical state of the heart so that heart beat will have rhythm controlled by its pacemaker. This is not used in asystole and pulseless electrical activity. Defibrillator is used to give an electric shock to the heart. This depolarizes the muscles in the heart which stops the dysrhythmia, the SA node can eventually produce its own electrical impulse which establish the normal sinus rhythm of the heart. Cardioversion can also be done to provide normal rhythm in poorly perfusing cardiac dysrthymias. 

Defibrillators can be implanted, external, transvenous depending on the type of devide used or needed in the current situation.

The smallest contractile unit within skeletal muscle would correspond to the distance between which two points in the figure?
Tpy6a [65]

The distance between 1 and 7 spans a sarcomere correspond the structure at B is covered by the perimysium.

<h3>What is the smallest contractile unit within skeletal muscle?</h3>

A sarcomere comprises the segment between two consecutive Z lines and is the contractile unit of the muscle fiber, as it is the smallest portion of the muscle fiber capable of contraction and distension.

In this case, the distance between points 1 and 7 has the smallest structure of a skeletal muscle and corresponds to figure B.

How does coughing and sneezing help protect the respiratory system?
andriy [413]
Coughing and sneezing are reflexes of the body that prevent bacteria to further damage the organs inside the body. It helps in keeping the airways clear and in healing. The two sources or passages of these natural reflexes are the nose and the mouth.  
<span>
Inside the nose, there are nasal hairs present to filter the oxygen or air that we breathe in. These are called Cilia, these are protective mechanisms of the body that trap dirt that cannot pass through the respiratory system. Sneezing is a natural reflex that clears the nose passages from obstructions that might affect the lungs. Coughing is also a natural reflex that is generated by an irritation in the tonsils, this condition is commonly viral. The tonsils are responsible for protecting the passage of dirty air into the lungs.</span>

Genetic diversity

Explanation:

Sexual reproductions, mutation, and crossing-over generates a wide range of genetic diversity within a population.

  • Sexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in which gametes fuses to produce a fertile and viable offspring.
  • Mutation is the process of altering genetic sequences in population to production new breeds called mutants.
  • Crossing-over is the exchange of chromosomes between two homologous pairs.

All these processes ensures that a pool of diverse gene exists within a population in order give competitive and adaptability advantage to organisms.
