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>

Rhodobacter cells perform photosynthesis in the presence of light and grow heterotrophically in the dark. After being cultured i
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Phenotypic changes:

When Rhodobacter is cultured in total darkness for multiple generations, the ability to produce it's own photopigment reduces with time with little or no ability to undergo its own photosynthesis due to absence of enzymes or pigment for photosynthesis.

It becomes expensive for the Rhodobacter to undergo photosynthesis. This allows mutants that can grow in the dark to take over from the culture grown in the dark.

Evolutionary processes:

It's natural selection that allows the fittest organism to survive. As in the case of the mutants

You need to examine the internal anatomy of both lungs at the same time but can make only one cut. Which plane or planes of the
muminat

The plane(s) of the section that would allow me examine the internal anatomy of both lungs at the same time are as follows;

  • Sagittal
  • Coronal
  • Transverse

<h3>What are body planes?</h3>

Body planes are imaginary geometric planes that are used to divide the body into pieces. They are used to analyze interior organs and systems during anatomical procedures.

We have the following body plane types:

  1. Any vertical plane that separates the body into anterior and posterior halves is referred to as a coronal plane.
  2. Any plane that separates the body into superior and inferior halves and is nearly perpendicular to the spine is referred to as a transverse plane.
  3. Any imaginary plane parallel to the median plane is referred to as the sagittal plane.

Based on the three types of plane sections we have, the plane(s) of the section that would allow me examine the internal anatomy of both lungs at the same time are as follows;

  • Sagittal
  • Coronal
  • Transverse

Can humans live underwater what are some things to consider
timurjin [86]

Underwater living faces many of the same life support challenges as living in space. ... But in the future, underwater habitats might provide their own oxygen with artificial gill technology to extract dissolved air from the sea water

Since humans do not have gills, we cannot extract oxygen from water. Some marine mammals, like whales and dolphins, do live in water, but they don't breathe it. They have developed a mechanism to hold their breath for long periods of time underwater.

To put these depths into perspective, three American football fields laid end to end would measure 900 feet (274.32 m) long — less than the distance these divers reached underwater. Most recreational scuba divers only dive as deep as 130 feet (40 meters), according to the Professional Association of Diving Instructors.
