Coronary artery disease.
 When plaque builds up, this will result in narrowing coronary artery and decreased blood flow may happen. This decreased blood flow may result in angina or chest pain, shortness of breath. This is also known as the ischemic hear disease which refer to a group of diseases which includes stable angi, unstable angina, myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death. Plaques are waxy substance that accumulates on the vessel wall. Usually complete blockage can cause heart attack and immediate medical intervention must be done to the patient.

g100num [7]
Fresh water is any body of water with a low salt concentration. Organisms in fresh water various challenges which includes; Osmotic concentration such that fresh water is permanently dilute and most cells cannot function at this concentration of ions. Varying temperatures, variation in oxygen levels and reproduction and life cycle due to permanence of habitat and physiological difficulty of regulating osmotic concentration in larvae and juveniles.

If an inhibitory synapse fires at the same time and at the same distance from the initial segment as an excitatory synapse of th
Sergio [31]

Answer:

If an inhibitory synapse fires at the same time and at the same distance from the initial segment as an excitatory synapse of the same intensity there will be no changes in the potential in the firing zone.

Explanation:

Under normal conditions, the transmembrane potential depends on the ionic charges present in the intracellular and extracellular spaces. The extracellular space load is usually positive and in the cytoplasm is negative.

  • <u>Depolarization</u> occurs by opening ion channels that allow sodium to enter the cell, making the intracellular space more positive.
  • An opening of potassium channels releases this ion to the extracellular space, leading to <u>hyperpolarization</u>.

An excitatory synapse is one capable of depolarizing a cell and boosting the production of action potential, provided it is capable of reaching the threshold of said potential.

On the other hand, an inhibitory synapse is able to hyperpolarize the cell membrane and prevent an action potential from originating, so that they can inhibit the action of an excitatory synapse.

The interaction between two synapses, one excitatory and one inhibitory, -called synapse summation- will depend on the strength that each of them possesses. In this case, the intensity of both synapses being the same, there will be no changes in the membrane potential in the firing zone.

Which of the following is an abiotic factor that limits the carrying capacity of animal species?
Nata [24]

Answer:

Should be D. Breathable gases

Explanation:

The carrying capacity of an environment is the maximum population size of a biological species that can be sustained by that specific environment, and abiotic factors are non-living chemical and physical parts of the environment that affect living organisms and the functioning of ecosystems.
