Answer:

a. the number of motor units that are activated.

b. the frequency of motor neuron action potentials in each motor unit.

Explanation:

When the need arise to increase the rate of contraction of skeletal muscles, input signals are sent to the brain. Output signal from the brain   arrive as  a simultaneous increase of active motor units within the muscles.This is represented as  increase in Acetycholine neurotransmitters secretions  diffusion  across the synapse, more  Ligand gated  ion channels  opening,  more depolarisation, and   action potentials  propagation and generation. As a results there is rapid increase in  Excitatory Post Synaptic Potential( EPSP) and increase in degree of  Skeletal muscle contraction.

 An increase in amount of  depolarization, and therefore action potential generated, increases the frequencies of action potential at the receptors(receptor potential).This results in the degree of skeletal muscle contraction, because the increased action potential frequency  is  above the threshold levels to elicits responses in the muscle cells.

Answer:

Answer is A:The number of motor units that are activated

Explanation:

The frequency of motor neuron action potentials in each motor unit .

The motor unit consists of motor neuron and skeletal muscle fibers and together group of motor unit work in co-ordination to undergo contraction of the muscle. The motor neuron is a type of neuron which helps in sending signal to muscles and hence helps in its muscle contraction. These motor neurons originate within the spinal cord and hence helps in controlling the contraction and relaxation of the muscle. Depending on the number of motor units activated, it will define the degree of muscle contraction. When a greater number of motor units are activated, it will increase the rate of contraction. The frequency and rate at which each of the motor unit generates and send an action potential also helps in determining the contraction degree. When it generates higher action potential, it will relay the signal faster leading to varying degree of muscle contraction.

The same rabbit population is seen from year to year because the food supply is greater in the spring, so it can support a large
solniwko [45]

The same rabbit population being constant because the food supply is greater in the spring and supporting a larger number of animals is a false statement.

<h3>What is Population?</h3>

This is defined as the total number of organisms in a particular place at a given period of time.

Factors such as topography, human influence are other factors except food supply which influences rabbit population which is why False is the correct choice.

Three physical forces are involved in glomerular filtration: glomerular capillary blood pressure, plasma-colloid osmotic pressur
Elodia [21]

Answer: a. True

Explanation:

Glomerular filtrate is formed by the difference in force of hydrostatic and osmotic pressure. This physical force involves:

Bowman's capsule hydrostatic pressure: This includes the pressure that develops in the Bowman's capsule against the fluid to be filtrated expelled out by the glomerulus.

Glomerular hydrostatic pressure: The glomerulus is the main site of production of filtrate. It is higher than the average blood capillary hydrostatic pressure. It allows the water and solute molecules to be filtrated out of the plasma membrane.

Colloid osmotic pressure: The osmotic pressure which is generated by the large molecules is the colloid osmotic pressure. It is created by the plasma proteins. This pressure draws water from the glomerulus.

The client who does not respond adequately to fluid replacement has an order for an iv infusion of dopamine hydrochloride at 5 m
Lisa [10]

The patient does not respond adequately to fluid replacement and was given an IV infusion of dopamine hydrochloride at 5 mcg/kg/minute. In addition, to monitor that the drug is having the desired effect, the nurse should assess the client for increased cardiac output. <span>At medium doses, which is between 4 – 8 mcg/kg/min, the dopamine hydrochloride slightly increases the heart rate and improves contractility to increase cardiac output and recover tissue perfusion.</span>
