Answer:

The correct answer is C: a myosin head bound to actin.

Explanation:

The cross bridge cycle is a series of events that occur during muscle contraction. When muscle contracts, a myosin head (projected from a thick myosin filament) attaches to a thin actin filament <em>(this is the so-called cross bridge).</em> The thin filament also contains tropomyosin and troponin.

Then, a second myosin head binds to ATP and catalyzes it in presence of calcium. This step gives the muscle the energy to contract.

Without calcium, tropomyosin and troponin avoid myosin and actin to interact.

timofeeve [1]

I think it’s m(C6H12O6) = 856 g

M(C6H12O6) = 12*6+1*12+16*6 = 180 g/mol

n(C6H12O6) = m/M = 856 g / 180 g/mol = 4.756 mol

n(CO2) = 6*4.756 = 28.536 mol

M(CO2) = 12+16*2 = 44 g/mol

m(CO2) = n*M = 28.536mol*44g/mol = 1255.584 g

While performing the reassessment of a 2-year-old male who is severely dyspneic, you note that he is now unresponsive and not br

OverLord2011 [107]

For a 2 year old patient who was severely dyspneic and now unresponsive and no longer breathing, you will instruct your EMT to insert an OPA and begin give positive pressure ventilations with a BVM with 100% O2 to the patient. Palpate for a pulse and if <10 seconds you cannot feel a pulse, you will begin chest compressions.

The good thing about respiratory codes in children is that they normally always code due to lack of oxygenation. Once they are finally re-oxygenated, they will typically come around with better vitals.
