Troponin-tropomyosin molecules prevents a muscle contraction from occurring when the muscle is at rest.

<h3>What is muscle contraction?</h3>

The activation of tension-producing regions within muscle cells results in muscular contraction. Because muscle tension can be created without changes in muscle length, such as when holding something heavy in the same position, muscle contraction does not always imply muscle shortening in physiology. Muscle relaxation, or the return of the muscular fibers to their low tension-generating state, occurs after a muscle contraction has finished.

Both length and tension can be used to characterize muscle contractions. If the muscle tension varies but the muscle length doesn't, the muscle contraction is said to be isometric. A muscle contraction is isotonic, however, if the tension in the muscle remains constant during the contraction.

What types of material can effect capilary actions

Ymorist [56]

Capillary action (sometimes capillarity, capillary motion, or wicking) is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of, or even in opposition to, external forces like gravity. The effect can be seen in the drawing up of liquids between the hairs of a paint-brush, in a thin tube, in porous materials such as paper and plaster, in some non-porous materials such as sand and liquefied carbon fiber, or in a cell. It occurs because of intermolecular forces between the liquid and surrounding solid surfaces. If the diameter of the tube is sufficiently small, then the combination of surface tension (which is caused by cohesion within the liquid) and adhesive forces between the liquid and container wall act to propel the liquid.[1]

slava [35]

First you need to determine how much standard deviation the range is.
120+12*x= 96
x= 96-120/ 12= -2

120+12*y=144
y= 144-120/12= +2

Systolic blood pressure between 96 mmHg and 144 mmHg means that the blood pressure is at -2SD to +2SD. The Z-score for -2SD is 0.0228 and +2SD is 0.9772
So the percentage would be: 0.9772- 0.0228 * 100%= 95.44%

What is the minimum pulse ox reading the emt wants to maintain in the patient with spontaneous breathing?

Alex73 [517]

I believe it should be 94%.Normal arterial oxygen is approximately 75 to 100 millimeters of mercury. Values under 60 mmHg usually indicate the need for supplemental oxygen. Low blood oxygen is known as hypoxemia. Normal pulse oximeter readings usually range from 95 to 100 percent. Values under 90 percent are considered to be low.

The Fitness of Water. For each of these statements about water, decide whether the statement is true and describes a property th

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

A) True

The polarity of water is what makes it an ideal transport vehicle for nutrients and micronutrients that are water-soluble. Within organisms, water can be used to transport nutrients and even waste from one part of the body to the other. In the case of humans, urine is used to get rid of soluble waste from within the body.

B) True

During the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are taken from the air and soil respectively. Oxygen is able to produce water when it is reduced. Hydrogen during this process is oxidized.

C) False

Ice floats on water. Hence it cannot be denser than water. Rather, water is denser than Ice. Because of the structure of hydrogen bonds, when they are iced, the bonds tend to pull apart, thus making ice expand somewhat. This expansion creates microscopic pockets of air in the molecules thus given them buoyancy.

D) True (X)

E) True (X)

F) True

Heat Capacity refers to the amount of heat a substance like water can absorb before it's temperature rises by 1 degree. This property is important, because, were it not for the high specific heat capacity of water, many people and plants would have boiled over.

G True (X)

Heat of vaporization is the kind and amount of energy required to alter one gram of liquid into a gas at boiling point
