Answer:

Muscles are not a simple unit. Each muscle is formed by a series of fibers, each of which within its own fascicle, and each innervated by the terminal of a skeletal muscle neuron.

Whenever movement, or force, needs to be exerted by an entire muscle, these fibers, classified now as Type I (slow-twitch fibers) and Type II (A and B) (fast-twitching fibers) will get stimulated by the terminal end of the neuron depending on the purpose, and will initiate contraction.

In the process of muscle activation, it is important to know that essentially slow-twitching fibers (Type I) are the first to be recruited in movement, but they are not the best at fast action and much less at carrying heavy loads.

However, whenever we talk about the correct steps of recruitment, we need to know that stimulation will first be of slow-twitching fibers, who will initiate the process of contraction first, and as the need for more fibers increases, and the load, or speed of movement increases, then Type II A and B fibers will also be stimulated to initiate contraction as well. Today, research has shown, however, that there are instances in which stimulation may be selective of one type of fiber only, depending on the need.

Given what was said before, we can then say the following about the statement: Although it is true that slow-twitching fibers are not able to respond very fast to stimulation, and cannot generate much force, they are the first ones to be recruited, as the correct steps are slow-twitch fiber recruitment and then fast-twitch fiber recruitment if the load and speed require such. Sometimes only the slow-twitch fibers will be recruited, if the load, or the speed required from the muscle, does not exceed a certain level.

Explain how diseases can affect the people around a person who is infected.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

I hope the below helps!

Explanation:

For the person infected, they may not be able to carry out things they normally do in their day to day life. For family or near by friends, this could cause a big impact on them as they may need to start helping with jobs (e.g. buying food, administering medicine etc).

If the disease is infectious, there is also risk of spreading the disease to people who make contact. It depends on the type of disease as to how it is spread, but this can cause close people to become ill.

When diseased, some people can become seriously poorly. This puts stress onto family and others as they care/love for the person infected. If this stress is not handled properly, it can develop into sleep deprivation, anxiety, depression etc.

Tobacco can damage the immune system of a person with AIDS. Please select the best answer from the choices provided.
pishuonlain [190]
<span>It is true that tobacco can damage the immune system of a person with AIDS. Although this is the case with most people - tobacco negatively affects anyone's immune system, not only those who have AIDS - people who do have AIDS are more likely to be seriously harmed than those who do not. People with AIDS already have a weakened immune system that is unable to fight off any diseases, so if it is damaged even more, they can easily die.</span>

Sever21 [200]
The answer is B: fat gives your body energy to function, while muscle mass is used only to perform strenuous activity. This option is only correct because the statement includes the words, "muscle mass." If it was only "muscle," then it would be wrong.
