Answer:
By lowering the levels of total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein (LDL)
Explanation:
Dietary fibers are classified into two: the soluble fiber and the insoluble fiber. Studies have show that the soluble fiber play a significant role in lowering blood cholesterol, hence reducing the cardiovascular diseases.
Soluble fiber helps to lower blood cholesterol by its ability to bind to the small intestine which further binds to cholesterol most especially the ad cholesterol (low density lipoprotein). Binding of Fibers to cholesterol prevents them from migrating to the blood stream and to other parts of the body. Since cholesterol can't get into the bloodstream, it exits the body through feces. Fiber has more effect on lowering LDL (bad cholesterol) than High density lipoprotein (good cholesterol.
Answer:
A. All of these choices are correct.
Explanation:
In pharmacology , drugs play different roles from simple to complex.
as is the above mentioned question drugs can facilitate the transmission of information from one neuron to another so option B is correct.
While the drugs / chemicals can inhibit the transmission of information from neuron to another so option C is also correct.
And the drugs can also be used to cure a whole variety of clinical disorders by playing a role at the synaptic level.
Hence option A All of these choices are correct is the right answer.
Answer:
D. All of the above
Explanation:
In Human anatomy, cardiac cycle can be defined as a complete heartbeat of the human heart which comprises of sequential alternating contraction and relaxation of the atria and ventricles, therefore causing blood to flow unidirectionally (one direction) throughout the human body.
Generally, the cardiac cycle occurs in two (2) stages;
1. Diastole : in this stage, the ventricles is relaxed and would be filled with blood.
2. Systole: at this stage, the muscles contracts and thus, allow blood to be pushed through the atria.
Cardiac output can be defined as the volume of blood that is being pumped by the mammalian heart through the left and right ventricle per unit time (minute).
The following conducting systems of the heart cause the ventricles to contract;
I. Atrioventricular (AV) node: it's a component of the electrical conduction system of the mammalian heart located in the Koch triangle which connect the ventricles and atria electrically.
II. Atrioventricular (AV) bundle: it's a specialized tissue that transmits electrical impulse from the atrioventricular (AV) node to the Purkinje fibres of the ventricles.
III. Purkinje fibers: it's a network of specialized cells that comprises of glycogen and they transmit cardiac action potentials in a rapid manner from the atrioventricular (AV) bundle to the myocardium of the ventricles.
Furthermore, the right atrioventricular valve (AV) also referred to as the tricuspid valve is located on the right dorsal side of the human heart. The right atrioventricular valve (AV) comprises of three (3) leaflets (flaps) which opens and closes in order to allow for the flow of blood from the right atrium of the human heart to the right ventricle. Also, the right atrioventricular valve is saddled with the responsibility of preventing blood from flowing backward in the mammalian heart.
