Mucus

Mucus is a viscous solution that lubricates and protects the gastrointestinal tract.

Explanation;

-Mucus is a viscous colloid that contain inorganic salts, antiseptic enzymes , immunoglobulins, and glycoproteins such as lactoferrin and mucins, which are produced by goblet cells in the mucous membranes and submucosal glands.

-In the gastrointestinal tract, mucus is used as a lubricant for materials that must pass over membranes, e.g., food passing down the esophagus. A layer of mucus along the inner walls of the stomach is vital to protect the cell linings of that organ from the highly acidic environment within it.

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.
