What is the basis for the delay between the atrial and ventricular contractions in a normal heart?

Biology
1 answer:
earnstyle [38]4 years ago
5 0

The main responsible for the delay among the atrial and ventricular contractions is the action potential conduction velocity of the AV node cells. If the atria and ventricles contract simultaneously, atria cannot give any help in filling the ventricles, which is needed, especially in those with stiff ventricles as in the elderly. Hence atria have to contract first and then the ventricles.

How do the immune system and digestive system work together?​
abruzzese [7]

The immune system works with the digestive tract to help protect you from infection by these potential invaders. Your immune system also depends upon cells to kill invading organisms, and chemicals that don't require the involvement of cells at all, but which are simply toxic to bacteria and viruses. Acid in the stomach does the same thing.

Choose "innate" if the behavior is an innate behavioral adaptation and "learned" if it is a learned behavioral adaptation.
harkovskaia [24]
<span>Chicks hatching from eggs is an innate behavior. Innate behavioral adaptations are the result of millions of years of evolution. This type of behavior is already "hard-wired" in the nervous system of organisms and is usually inflexible. This is where a certain given stimulus triggers the exact same response over particular organisms through time. The same adaptation goes for other species that are naturally inclined to walk hours after their birth, like giraffes and elephants do. It is in a way nature's natural adaptation for species to survive through the course of time.</span>
