How does electrocution cause rigid paralysis?

Biology
1 answer:
jeyben [28]3 years ago

Answer:

Muscles are stimulated by electricity. The effect depends on the intensity of the current and the type of muscle it travels through.

The victim may be unable to let go of the source of the current, making the duration of the contact longer and increasing the severity of the shock.

When a current above 10 mA travels through extensor muscles, it causes a violent spasm. If the muscles affected are the hip extensors that lengthen the limbs away from the body, the victim may be propelled, sometimes many metres away!

Muscles, ligaments and tendons may tear as a result of the sudden contraction caused by an electric shock. Tissue can also be burned if the shock is lasting or the current is high.planation:

Anatomy and
Masja [62]

Answer:

lateral; inferior

Explanation:

In anatomical terms:

  • Superior is towards the head, and <u>inferior </u>is towards the feet.
  • Medial is towards the centre of the body (belly button) whereas <u>lateral </u>is towards the outside of the body (towards the hip bones and arms, for example)
  • Posterior is towards the back (spine), whereas anterior is towards the front (belly)

Therefore, the fingers are lateral (to the side) and inferior (lower) than the heart

In rabbits, short hair (S) is dominant over long hair (s). What genotype and phenotype ratios are expected from a cross between
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Answer:

Genotype                  Phenotype                      

SS                 1/4          Short hair         3/4

Ss                 2/4         Short hair          3/4

ss                  1/4          Long hair          1/4

Explanation:

Both are heterozygous for the trait so we can expect that the cross would be:

Ss x Ss

   S     s

S  SS   Ss

s   Ss   ss

So the resulting off-spring would have the following genotype and phenotype:

1 out of 4 will have a genotype of SS.

2 out of 4 or half will have a genotype of Ss.

1 out of 4 will have a genotype of ss.

But because short hair is dominant the phenotype ratios would differ because Ss and SS would express short hair, so we add up their ration:

Short hair: 1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4

Long hair:  1/4

So in summary:

Genotype                  Phenotype                      

SS                 1/4          Short hair         3/4

Ss                 2/4         Short hair        

ss                  1/4          Long hair          1/4
