Medicine
1 answer:

7 0

Answer:

the correct answer is option A- Intercalated disc

Explanation:

Intercalated discs are the characteristic microscopic feature of the cardiac muscle which allows the cardiac cells to work as a single unit or syncytium.

The disc allows the cardiomyocytes (an individual cell) to act as one unit due to the "desmosomes and gap junctions" which allows the diffusion of ions to pass to nearby cardiomyocytes and allow depolarization of the entire heart which causes contraction.

Thus, option A- Intercalated disc is the correct answer.

If a non-diabetic takes diabetic medicines, what happens?
vodomira [7]

Diabetic medicines are made to lower the level of glucose by increasing the amount of insulin. If a non-diabetic patient will take this medication, then it will result in a decreased glucose level.

<h3>What are the hormones controlling the level of glucose?</h3>

The hormones are the chemicals released by endocrine gland to control and coordinate bodily functions.

The pancreas release the hormones called insulin and glucagon that regulates the blood glucose level.

Insulin helps to lower the level of glucose and glucagon increases the glucose level.

In the case of diabetes, the pancreas decreases the production of insulin which leads to increased blood glucose levels.

As to maintain normal level, some medications or in some cases insulin injections are given to the patient to maintain the normal glucose level.

If a non-diabetic person will take this medication, then it will lead to decreased glucose level that results in fainting, dizziness, etc.
