In what ways are autorhythmic fibers similar to and different from contractile fibers?

Biology
1 answer:
Leto [7]3 years ago
5 0
I think Autorhythmic fibers are fibers that are self excitable or on their own for example some cardiac muscle. They  repeatedly generate action potentials that trigger heart contractions.They continue to stimulate a heart to beat even when it is removed from the body. In comparison to contractile fibers, autorhythmic fibers are self excitable and do not require nervous system stimulation to trigger contractions. Contractile fibers have stable resting membrane potentials of -90mV, when a contractile fibers reaches threshold by action potential, the voltage gated fast sodium ions channels will open.

5 . which one of the following statements is true about P waves?
tigry1 [53]

The correct answer is (B) they travel faster than S waves

As the interior of the earth is incompressible, the P-waves moves much faster and transmit their energy through the medium and travel very fast as compared to the S waves. In case of S waves, they are slow because the movement of medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of waves’ waves travel 60 times faster than S waves. The variation in speed of travel is because the earth reacts differently to both the waves.

Uncontrolled cell growth would most likely be attributed to what
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

mutation in DNA

Explanation:

Mutations are changes in the genetic code that can occur in many ways. Each time a cell divides, say, DNA must be copied into two copies, one copy for each new cell. Although this copying is very precise, it is still not perfect - for about every billion accurately copied databases, one is mistranslated.

Another source is DNA damage, which can occur spontaneously through the normal life of the cell, or through external toxins or negative influences (ultraviolet radiation, for example). Through evolution, cells have developed a very complex system for repairing changes in DNA, but these systems not only have limitations but can sometimes cause additional errors themselves.
