Lecithin is (organic chemistry) the principal phospholipid in animals; it is particularly abundant in egg yolks, and is extracted commercially from soy. It is also a major constituent of cell membranes, and is commonly used as a food additive (as an emulsifier). While cephalin is (biochemistry) a phospholipid found particularly in the cells of nervous tissue; it is also the primary phospholipid in bacteria.

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)

Define and distinguish between diffusion and omosis​
Dmitry [639]

Diffusion is the spontaneous movement of substances from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.

Osmosis is the passage of water molecules from a high water concentration region through a selectively permeable membrane to a low water concentration region.

In diffusion, selectively permeable membrane is neither required nor involved while in osmosis, it is involved.
