Frist I want to point out that the smooth muscle pertains to organs and skeletal muscle pertains to the bones.

The difference between the function of these two types is that: (think about it for a second, what do organs do?) Organs allow for things to pass through or be processed or created when they are contracting. For example: your bladder contracts to release urine.

(Think about bones and why we need muscle attached to them, If we only had bones and nothing attached, we wouldn't be able to move. We would just be a sac of bone and organs.) Skeletal muscle contractions allow us to move. For example: when you move your arm the muscle contracts allowing that bone to move in the position you are moving it.

Ann has been diagnosed with hypertension and is now worried about her health. Which exercise option would most benefit her?

Lapatulllka [165]

I'm not certain of what the options are, but hypertension is when one develops a high-blood pressure while exercising, so something like stretching, walking, swimming, and cycling would be beneficial (or anything low in intensity.)

I hope this helps!! :)

How is the health of a person related with physical, mental and social aspects

blondinia [14]

Explanation:

Poor health can put a person's physical condition a risk because a person cannot do any physical movement or exercise because of poor health. For example, if someone is having high blood pressure, he cannot do much workout. Poor physical movement can be the factor why the person is having problems with mental conditions because he will feel bad about himself which will lead him to bad social aspects since the person who is thinking bad about themselves are more likely to think that other people think that too.
