Target heart rate is defined as the minimum number of heartbeats in a given amount of time in order to reach the level of exertion necessary for cardiovascular fitness, specific to a person's age, gender, or physical fitness.
Answer: They should be used when handling ready- to-eat food.
Explanation: For example, washing produce, or when handling ready-to-eat ingredients for a dish that will be cooked to the correct internal temperature.
Veins are an important part of our circulatory system. They are responsible for returning deoxygenated blood back to the heart after arteries carry blood out. The vena cava is the largest vein in the body. Veins have much thinner walls than arteries.
Answer:
The correct pathway for oxygen-poor blood is right atrium → right ventricle → pulmonary artery → lungs (first option).
Explanation:
Unoxygenated or oxygen-poor blood is that which comes from tissues that have exchanged O₂ for CO₂. The venous return is in charge of taking that blood to the heart and then to the lungs.
- Oxygen-poor blood reaches the <u>right atrium</u> from the vena cava.
- From the atrium the blood passes to the <u>right ventricle</u> through the tricuspid valve.
- The <u>right ventricle pumps the blood to the lungs</u> through the pulmonary arteries, the only arteries that carry venous blood.
Once in the lungs, the blood exchanges CO₂ for O₂, returning to the heart through the pulmonary veins.
The other options are not correct because:
- <em><u>Left atrium, left ventricle, aorta, body</u></em><em> corresponds to the flow of oxygenated blood that comes from the lungs and is pumped to the entire body.</em>
- <em><u>Left atrium, right atrium, left ventricle, right ventricle</u></em><em> not correspond to the order in which blood flows through the heart.</em>
- <em><u>Right ventricle, right atrium, pulmonary veins, lungs</u></em><em> not correspond to the flow of oxygen-poor blood.</em>
