(a) It is possible to measure a patient’s heart rate by either palpating their peripheral pulse, by observing their ECG, or by l

istening for the lub-dup through a stethoscope. However, patients with atherosclerosis of the femoral artery may not have a pulse in the popliteal artery or dorsalis pedis of the foot. Does this mean that they will also lack a heart beat (lub-dup) or QRS complex? Explain the relationship between a heart beat, pulse, and QRS complex. (B) Why is there a delay between systole of the ECG and the resulting pulse felt in the finger (R-Pulse)?

B)<span>When you listen to the heart sounds, you are hearing the flow of blood which stops abruptly when a heart valve closes. This produces the "lub-dub" sounds. 1st heart sound (when the Mitral Valve closes) as the ventricle contracts (systole) and then 2nd heart sound (when the Aortic Valve closes) and the ventricle starts to fill again (diastole)
</span><span>The pulse is the wave of pressure you can feel through the artery walls. This denotes systole.
</span><span>The ECG's QRS complex is the electrical signal that tells the Ventricles to contract. You can see that the QRS occurs right at the beginning of systole and triggers Isovolumetric contraction.
</span><span>So the QRS on the ECG, the pulse wave you can feel (ie. the rise in aortic pressure) and the 1st heart sound all signify SYSTOLE.
</span><span>there a delay between systole of the ECG and the resulting pulse felt in the finger (R-Pulse) </span>because it takes a little bit of time for the pressure to transmit through the body, as the finger is not on the heart (if it was there would be no delay)

A substance synthesized at the cell body must undergo ______ transport to reach the synaptic knobs.
cricket20 [7]

The cell body must undergo Anterograde transport to reach the synaptic knobs.

The synaptic feature is to transmit nerve impulses between two nerve cell neurons or among a neuron and muscle cellular. Synapses connect one neuron to every other and are thus liable for the transmission of messages from the nerves to the mind and vice versa.

Synapses are a part of the circuit that connects sensory organs, like those who come across aches or touch, within the peripheral frightened gadget to the mind. Synapses connect neurons inside the mind to neurons inside the rest of the frame and from those neurons to the muscle tissues.

Synaptic transmission is the method at synapses by way of which a chemical sign is launched from one neuron and diffuses to other neurons or goal cells where it generates a sign which excites, inhibits, or modulates mobile hobby.

Lena [83]
I would say C. Reduce climate change because taking a car/vehicle results in the earth becoming polluted which leads to climate change.  

*EXPLANATION*
Riding your bike or walking will not do anything to help people chopping down trees, people giving birth to more and more children nor will increase the amount of animals/organisms we have on our planet.

lesantik [10]

Answer:Four spheres of earth are:1)Lithosphere(land)  2)Hydrosphere(water) 3)Biosphere(living things) 4)Atmosphere(air).

Energy and matter flow through Earth's four spheres.Energy flows through the atmosphere and hydrosphere mostly by convection.The continuous cycling of matter and energy through earth's system makes life on earth possible .Others are driven by energy from the sun.
