Medicine
1 answer:
Sveta_85 [38]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Pacemaker cells, unlike other neurons in the body, can depolarized themselves (and therefore can fire action potentials) without the need of an external innervation of the autonomic nervous system.  

Each class of pacemaker cells has its own intrinsic rate.

For example, sinoatrial node rate is 60-100 bpm (the normal heart frequency).  

The atrioventricular node is also part of the electrical conduction system of the heart. When the sinoatrial node fails, atrioventricular node takes the lead (40-60 bpm).

<h3>What is EBRT (external beam radiation therapy)?</h3>

The most widely utilized radiation oncology treatment is external beam radiation therapy (EBRT). In order to eradicate malignant cells or reduce tumors, high-dose radiation is used. During an EBRT surgery, a machine precisely guides external radiation beams onto your body's malignant regions.

The most used type of radiotherapy is external beam radiotherapy. An external source of ionizing radiation is focused at a specific area of the patient's body while they sit or lie on a couch.

The most used form of radiation therapy is external beam radiation therapy (EBRT). It targets the tumor with high-energy radiation beams. Targeted radiation beams from outside the body are used in EBRT. It is a non-invasive way of treating a tumor using radiation. To ensure that the radiation beams are precisely aimed at the tumor, they are shaped as they exit the linear accelerator and/or before they reach the patient.

Hence, EBRT (external beam radiation therapy)  guides to a procedure in which the patient stands positioned at a distance from a radiation source.
