If muscles did not generate opposing forces, then the contraction and relaxation of muscles leading to movement will be limited.

Explanation:

Basically skeletal muscles work in pairs of agonist and antagonist muscles which work together but with opposing forces to contract and relax respectively. These opposing forces help to facilitate movement. Like in a bicep curl, the biceps work as agonist and triceps work as antagonist. The muscular strength is the force that acts against the opposing force of muscles. This strength is regardless of age, sex, weight or size of an individual.

If everyone on the planet used the same amount of resources as an average American, what percent of the Earth would
matrenka [14]

Answer:

D. 200%

Explanation:

While Americans constitute the 5% of the world population, they use around the 24% of the world's energy.

Then, if the 100% of the population were like the Americans, we have:

5%*x = 100%

x = 100%/5% = 20

the whole population is 20 times the population of the US, then the total energy used is 20 times the energy used in the US.

Then the energy that the 100% of the population would use is equal to:

20*24% = 480%

So we actually would need like 5 Earths.

The option is 200%

During childbirth, a hormone produced by the pituitary gland causes muscles of the mother's uterus (or womb) to contract. The mo
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Positive feedback is used to build more contractions.

Explanation:

Positive feedback mechanism in humans is also observed during childbirth which is induced by the pressing of the ovarian wall by the baby.

The pressing sensation is passed to the brain via different nerves, and in response, the brain stimulates the pituitary to produce oxytocin.

Oxytocin is responsible for the contractions of the uterine muscles which cause the movement of the fetus towards the cervix, further increasing the stimulus.  

The positive feedback loop continues until the baby is born.
