The pacemakers are implants that are used for the regulation of heartbeats (correction of irregular heartbeats).

It is a small device, implanted (minor surgical procedure) just under the skin of the chest, that sends electrical impulses to the heart muscle to maintain a suitable heart rate and rhythm.

 

The pacemaker has two parts:

<span>·         </span>the leads which are threaded through the veins into the heart and implanted into the heart muscle. They send impulses from the pulse generator to the heart muscle. There can be one or more leads depending on the type of the heart problem

<span>·         </span>a pulse generator which contains the battery and a tiny computer and resides just under the skin of the chest.

<span>Each impulse causes the heart to contract. A pacemaker may also be used to treat different heart issues such as fainting spells (syncope), congestive heart failure, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.</span>

<span>Despite the fact that prescription drugs were used in the past to treat irregular heart rhythm, advances in medical science now allow the pacemaker to be implemented into the heart in order to more safely regulate heart rhythms for those with irregular beats.</span>

Explain how fertilization occurs
alex41 [277]
<span>I'm assuming this in plants.

Brief-ish answer:

"Fertilization in plants occurs when pollen grains are transported from anthers to stigma. When ripe pollen from an anther catches on the stigma of the same kind of flower, each pollen grain sends out a small thread-like tube."

Here's a fuller answer:

"</span>Fertilization occurs after pollination, when pollen grains land on the stigma of a flower of the same species. During this time, a series of events take place leading to the formation of seeds. A pollen grain on the stigma develops a tiny tube that runs down the style of the ovary. The pollen tube contains a male gamete which meets the female gamete in the ovule. Fertilization occurs when the two gametes combine and their chromosomes join. The resulting product is a normal complement of chromosomes, with some from either parent flower. The fertilized ovule forms a seed, which consists of a food reservoir and an embryo that later develops into a new plant. In gymnosperms (conifers) male gametes are enclosed in pollen grains and are transmitted by wind or insects to the female reproductive organs. Fertilization in angiosperms (flowering plants) occurs when insects or other animals transport the pollen to the female reproductive organ (pistil).<span>
</span><span>Fertilization is the fusion of gametes to launch the development of a new individual organism. In animals, the process entails the combination of ovum with a sperm, leading to the development of an embryo. Fertilization in plants occurs when haploid gametes meet to create a diploid zygote, which eventually forms an embryo.</span><span>"

pishuonlain [190]

The population of cactus dwelling birds will decrease and that of the animal they eat will increase.

Explanation:

When cacti is removed from the desert ecosystem, the birds that have their nest on the cacti will no longer have a home so they will migrate to other areas with favorable ecosystem.This will reduce the number of birds in this ecosystem.In turn, the animals that were feed by the birds will have the chance to multiply in numbers because a predator has been removed in the ecosystem.
