If the length of the absolute refractory period in cardiac muscle cells was the same as it is for skeletal muscle cells, _______
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

C. tetanic contractions might occur, which would stop the heart's pumping action.

Explanation:

The absolute refractory period of the cardiac muscle action potential refers to the time interval when the voltage gated sodium channels are inactivated. The absolute refractory period lasts ~180 msec. The action potential lasts 200-220 msec.

The refractory period of cardiac muscle is dramatically longer than that of skeletal muscle. This prevents tetanus from occurring and ensures that each contraction is followed by enough time to allow the heart chamber to refill with blood before the next contraction.

In order words, It is important for the cardiac muscle cells to have a longer refractory period, because if they were short like the skeletal muscles, the heart could enter tetanic contraction/summation which is when muscle is stimulated so rapidly that it does not have a chance to relax at all between stimuli.

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Both depends on one another.

Explanation:

Yes, there is a direct relationship between the number of pollinating plants and the number of honeybees because honeybees are insects that are responsible for pollination in the flowering plants. The population of flowering plants also has a great effect on the survival of honeybees because these flowering plants provides food in the form of nectar on which these honeybees survive and make honey from it. So we can say that both flowering plants and honeybees depends on one another for the successful growth and development.

raketka [301]
What causes hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN)? HDN most frequently occurs when an Rh negative mother has a baby with an Rh positive father. When the baby's Rh factor is positive, like the father's, problems can develop if the baby's red blood cells cross to the Rh negative mother.
