A 70-year-old woman with ongoing severe atrial fibrillation is scheduled for defibrillation. what is an aspect of the rationale

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.

Which of the structures is surrounded by the connective tissue sheath known as the perimysium?
ahrayia [7]

Answer: Muscle fibers in bundles or fascicles.

Explanation:

Skeletal striated muscle is involved in dense unshaped connective tissue, the Epimysium. From the epimysium depart fine septa of connective tissue to the muscle, separating the bundles and constituting the perimysium, carrying blood vessels and lymphatics and nerves. Every muscle cell is involved in the basal lamina, reticular fibers and a small amount of connective tissue, which form the endomysium. It anchors muscle fibers between them and contains blood capillaries and axons.

1.6. Sierra is asked to demonstrate how carbon travels from the atmosphere to living organisms, then
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

<u>B. Animals do not use carbon dioxide as an energy source; they use carbohydrates.</u>

Explanation:

The most readily form of energy that an animal requires is carbohydrate molecules. Monosaccharide carbohydrates can be easily broken down and hence are the best sources of energy. Carbohydrates are broken down in the process of cellular respiration to generate ATP. ATP is the energy driving molecule which is required by every cell of an organisms body to carry out its normal metabolic functions. Hence, animals use carbohydrates as a source of energy, not carbon dioxide.
