Hemophilia!


Hemophilia<span> is a disease that prevents blood from clotting properly, so a person
who has it bleeds more than someone without hemophilia does.
</span>
For more info:
When most people get a cut, the body naturally protects itself. Sticky cells in the blood called platelets go to where the bleeding is and plug up the hole. This is the first step in the clotting process. When the platelets plug the hole, they release chemicals that attract more sticky platelets and also activate various proteins in the blood known as clotting factors. These proteins mix with the platelets to form fibres and these fibers make the clot stronger and stop the bleeding. Our bodies have 13 clotting factors that work together in this process (numbered using Roman numerals from I through XIII). Having too little of factors VIII (8) or IX (9) is what causes hemophilia. A person with hemophilia will only lack one factor, either factor VIII or factor IX, but not both.<span>

An inhibitory stimulus has occurred. B. Chemically gated potassium channels have opened. C. Excessive potassium has diffused out
andrezito [222]

Given question is incomplete. Complete question has been attached.

Answer:

C. Excessive potassium has diffused out causing hyperpolarization.

Explanation:

The nerve action potential can be divided into following stages:

  • Stimulus is detected by the cell in resting stage.
  • Sodium channels in the membrane open from where influx of sodium ions occur which is called depolarization
  • After a while, sodium channels close and potassium channels open from where efflux of potassium ions occur which is called repolarization.
  • The membrane potential further lowers due to continous efflux of potassium ions which is called hyperpolarization.
  • After a while potassium channels close and membrane returns to its resting stage.

In the given figure, stage 4 depicts hyperpolarization because the membrane potential has dropped to the lowest point below -70mV. Hence, option C is correct.
