Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

If one is sitting for a prolonged time and experiences pain in the buttocks, it could be an issue associated with tuberosity in the pelvis, that is, ischial tuberosity. It is also considered as the seat bones or the sit bones  

The pain one experiences while sitting for a long time may be due to inflammation or irritation of the ischial bursa, that is, a fluid-occupied sac situated between the ischial tuberosity and the tendons, which associates the hamstring muscles with the bones.  

The given case, in which redness occurs signifies stage 1 at the ischial tuberosity, that is, the first stage of pressure ulcer taking place in the ischial tuberosity. The ischial tuberosity is situated in the base of buttocks.

Glycolysis
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

E) can usually make enough ATP for skeletal muscle function

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the main process by which cells obtain energy. During glycolysis, glucose is fully oxidized to obtain ATP, this is the 'fuel' for cellular function. Glycolysis is oxygen dependant, meaning that in order to successfully complete the process, enough oxygen must be available.

There are a few exceptions in which glycolysis is unable to provide enough ATP, an example is strenuous exercise. In this case the speed of oxygen consumption is very high, therefore at some point the oxygen intake is not enough. There are several mechanisms that regulate the production of ATP. In case of strenuous exercise, different process are activated to supply the cell with the necessary energy to keep on functioning.

Among the latter mentioned processes, there is anaerobic production of the oxidation of lactate, that does not require oxygen. Other example is the usage of creatine phosphate to obtain energy. Therefore, muscular cells have many ways of obtaining energy, but this secondary mechanisms are only activated in specific situations.
