3 Which statement best describes a cause and its effect that occurs during the process of muscle contraction? A. The release of

calcium ions causes myosin and actin to attach to each other. B. The pull of myosin on actin causes the motor neuron to send a nerve impulse. C. The presence of calcium ions within nerve cells causes the sarcomere to shorten. D. The shortening of the sarcomere causes the release of calcium around the myofibrils.

Answer:A. The release of calcium ions causes myosin and actin to attach to each other.

The contraction of skeletal muscles takes place by induction of a nerve impulse, which produces a movement and the interaction of the filaments containing proteins named as actin and myosin. This interaction of filaments is regulated by proteins  called tropomyosin and troponin present on the actin filaments. The motor nerve causes the depolarization of the muscle membrane sarcolemma. This triggers the sarcoplasmic reticulum to release calcium ions. This calcium binds to troponin and thus allows the tropomyosine strand on the actin filament to displace so that the part of the actin where myosine head needs to be attached remain uncovered. Binding of the actin myosine filament results in contraction.

Hence, the release of calcium ions causes myosin and actin to attach to each other causes muscle contraction.

Assume that the left ventricle of a child's heart has an EDV=90mL, and ESV=60mL, and a cardiac output of 2,400 mL/min. His SV is
Sliva [168]

Answer:

SV = 30 ml/ beat.

HR = 80.

Explanation:

The formula to calculate SV is as follows:

SV = EDV- ESV.

Here EDV = 90ml (end diastolic volume), ESV = 60ml (end systolic volume) ans SV is stroke volume.

SV = 90-60

SV = 30ml/beat.

The formula to calculate HR is as follows:

HR = CO/SV

Here, HR is heart rate, CO is cardiac output = 2,400 ml/min and SV is stroke volume = 30ml/beat

HR = 2,400/30

HR = 80.

Thus, the SV is 30ml/best and HR is 80.

A viral hepatitis screen with positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) should be interpreted as ________ hepatitis B
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Acute.

Explanation:

Viral hepatitis may be defined as the virus that causes inflammation in the lung and causes swelling in the injured tissue and the lung. Five different hepatitis virus are A,B,C,D and E.

The acute hepatitis virus quality is shown by all the types of the virus strain. In the acute form, the surface antigen is similar with the virus strain. While sowing the positive screen testing, the virus that shows the similar antigenic strain can be considered as acute virus.

Thus, the answer is acute.
