is a recessive,hereditary disease that is life threatening because of overproduction mucus in vital organs such as the lungs

1 answer:

5 0

The cystic fibrosis is a condition, in which the secretion of mucus in some vital organs such as lungs, pancreas, and stomach becomes sticky and thick.

This condition is caused by the inheritance of the recessive gene responsible for the development of the cystic fibrosis.

The thick and the sticky mucus gets lined up on the walls of the organ and causes the clogging of the tubes and the ducts, hence, instead of providing lubrication they act as clogging agent and causing major damage to some vital organs, especially, lungs and the pancreas.

Hypothetically, if a muscle were stretched to the point where thick and thin filaments no longeroverlapped, ________.A) maximum

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The answer is B- no muscle tension could be generated

Explanation:

During contraction cross bridges are formed by the myosin thick filaments grabbing on to the actin thin filaments. . The overlap of the thick and thin filaments allows myosin to bind to actin. As more bridges are formed, more myosin will pull on actin and more tension will be produced. Muscle tension is a condition in which the body remains semi-contracted for a longer time, it is caused when muscles contracts and do not release.

However, if the muscles are stretched to a point where the thick and thin filaments no longer overlap there will be no muscle tension generated.
