Once the alcohol goes into our system, an ounce of it is process for a period of one hour.

The first stop happens in the stomach where absorption through the gastric lining and bloodstream occurs. Stronger drinks are absorbed more quickly. The second stop happens in the brain where its function decreases/ is increasingly impaired as the BAC or blood alcohol content grows. The third stop will be in the heart. However, it should be noted that it does not receive any physical alcohol, but its effects on the heart are strong. Alcohol is a vasodilator which means it causes blood vessels to dilate. This indicates more blood flow through the body-- but lowers the overall blood pressure. The fourth stop will be in the kidneys where blood is filtered. The fifth stop will be in the bladder where it will excreted from the body. Lastly, the liver is where the rest of alcohol left in your system is broken down. This process is known as metabolizing. The chemical that remains after metabolization is acetaldehyde and the body gets rid it by further metabolizing it into carbon dioxide and water.

Therefore, an ounce of alcohol is processed in our body for 60 minutes or one hour.

In a population of 200, 86 individuals express the recessive phenotype. What percent of the population would you predict would b
Nitella [24]

Answer:

The correct option is;

D. 45%

Explanation:

From the Hardy- Weinberg law, we have;

p² + 2·p·q + q² = 1

p + q = 1

Where:

p = Dom inant allele frequency in the population

q = Recessive allele frequency in the population

p² = The percentage of individuals in the population that are hom ozygous dominant

q² = The percentage of individuals in the population that are homo zygous recessive

2×p×q = The percentage of hete rozyous individuals in the population

The number of individuals that express the recessive phenotype = 86

The number of individuals in the population = 200

The percentage of  individuals that express the recessive phenotype, q² = 86/200 = 0.43

Therefore;

q = √0.43 = 0.656

p + q = 1

p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.656= 0.344

∴ The frequency of  individuals that express the do minant phe notype, p = 0.344

The percentage of heterozyous individuals in the population = 2×p×q × 100 = 2 × 0.656 × 0.344 × 100 = 45.15% ≈ 45%

What is the sequence of travel by an impulse through the cardiac conduction system?
adoni [48]

The sequence of impulse through the cardiac conduction system starts from SA node passes to AV node to atrioventricular bundle fibers and finally to Purkinje fibers.

Heart is an organ that receives oxygenated blood form lungs and deoxygenated blood from different parts of body. Oxygenated blood is transported to different organs and deoxygenated blood is transported to lungs for oxygenation.

Now, to perform this transportation, the auricles and ventricles of heart contract and relax. In order to contract and relax, impulse generation is required, which begins at SA node or Sinoatrial node. It is also referred to as pacemaker of the heart. SA node contracts the atria and the impulse transfers to AV node or Atrioventricular node.

This is followed by transfer of impulse to atrioventricular bundle fibers which further passes it on to Purkinje fibres for ventricular contraction. Now the blood is sent to lungs and aorta as per it's oxygen status.
