The rapid depolarization phase
of myocardial contractile cells is due to the Na+ ions. Sodium ions are essential
for regulation of blood and body fluids, communication of nerve impulses, heart
activity, and metabolic purposes. Physiologically, it survives as an ion in the
body. Sodium is needed by
animals but is not needed by plants. The human prerequisite for sodium<span> must be less
than 500 mg per day. </span>
In humeral fractures, the main nerves in the arm may have been damaged or compressed (by the cast) after manual reduction. The sensory nerve involved in this case is the musculocutaneous nerve which provide sensation in the hands, particularly here in the right hand. Compression by the cast interrupts nerve impulses in the musculocutaneous nerve owing to the loss of sensation and the removal of cast relieves the compression therefore there is regain of sensation.
Answer: c. Amino Acids
Explanation:
Food is chemically and mechanically broken down into smaller particles like building blocks, the smallest of these are a basic unit called monomers. In the <em>stomach</em>, the enzyme pepsin breaks proteins, like those found in salmon, into smaller peptides by splitting the peptide bonds holding the proteins together. The <em>duodenum</em> processes these newly-formed peptide chains or polypeptides, into smaller ones, through the enzyme action of elastase, trypsin and chymotrypsin; these are produced in the pancreas. Peptidases convert these fragments into amino acid monomers for absorption into the bloodstream via the small intestines.
