Answer: muscle contraction of sustained force resulting from repeated action potentials. (Option A)

Explanation: Tetanus is also called physiologic tetanus. Tetanus refers to the contraction of the muscle, which is established when the motor nerve that supply nerves to a skeletal muscle produces action potentials at a very high degree.

However, tetanic contraction is usually a normal process (such as when carrying a heavy box). Also, muscles can be shorten, lengthen or remain constant length during tetanic contractions.

Contractions of the heart generate blood pressure, which is responsible for moving blood through the blood vessels.
malfutka [58]

The contractions of the heart is what creates out blood to pulse through out body and is the basis of our blood pressure; which means this statement is TRUE.


The systolic number (top) of the blood pressure is our heart physically pushing the blood out of the heart and to the rest of the body.

The diastolic number (bottom) of the blood pressure our heart at rest when it has just finished with one pump.

Answer:

The correct answer is C. be more likely to have cancer at some point in his/her life.

Explanation:

Cell cycle checkpoints are controlled by different proteins which are coded by different genes. They are important in cell cycle regulation and stops cell cycle immediately if they find any problem in the cell like mutation.

The cell cycle will not be continued if the problem does not solve and cell death will occur which prevents cancer by preventing the mutation to spread into new cells.  

Therefore if a mutation occurs in certain genes that enforce a checkpoint on the cell cycle then the mutated gene will pass in new cells and the mutated cells will grow uncontrollably due to no checkpoints so the person will probably have cancer at some point in his or her life.
