Medicine
1 answer:
Wittaler [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The correct answer will be option B.

Explanation:

Blood pressure represents the pressure of the blood in the major arteries of the body.

This blood pressure increases in the arteries when the ventricle contracts to push the blood to the major artery by a mechanism called ventricular systole. This increased blood pressure number is known as systolic blood pressure which is usually 180 mm of Hg.

The blood pressure decrease in the artery due to ventricular diastole during which ventricles relaxes. This lower number of blood pressure is known as diastolic blood pressure which is 80 mm of Hg.

Thus, option B is the correct answer.

Respiratory rate increased from 16 to 19 breaths per minute is  vital signs during activity would be the best indicator that the client is tolerating mild exercise.

Your body utilizes more oxygen during exercise and creates more carbon dioxide when your muscles perform harder. Your breathing has to increase from about 15 times per minute while you are resting to about 40–60 times per minute while you are exercising in order to meet this additional requirement. To supply the body with oxygen more quickly, breathing rate rises. To more effectively get the oxygen (and glucose) to the breathing muscles, the heart rate increases. These procedures call for oxygen. Because of this, when an activity is completed, a person's respiration and pulse rate do not immediately return to normal. The oxygen debt is the quantity of oxygen needed to flush out the lactic acid and replenish the body's oxygen stores.

Which chamber of the heart generates the highest blood pressure?
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

d. left ventricle

Explanation:

Heart consists of four chambers: left atrium, right atrium, left ventricle and right ventricle. The atria are located above the ventricles and their function is to  pump blood to the ventricles.

Right ventricle pumps the deoxygenated blood to the lungs via pulmonary artery. Pulmonary vein brings back oxygenated blood from lungs to the left atrium. From here the blood is sent to left ventricle. Left ventricle pumps blood to the entire body via aorta. Since it has to make blood reach to every part of the body from head to toes, it generates maximum pressure. Therefore, left ventricle also has thickest heart muscles.

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

There are eight types of vitamin B, that includes thiamin (Vitamin B1) , riboflavin, niacin , pantothenic acid , biotin , pyridoxine (vitamin B6 ), folate or folic acid, cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12).

Thiamin (vitamin B1) is responsible for glucose conversion into energy. Riboflavin helps in vision and skin health. Niacin functions to convert fat, carbohydrates and alcohol into energy. Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and Pantothenic acid (B5) helps in the metabolism of carbohydrate and protein, to form brain chemicals and red blood cells. Biotin (B7) is responsible for amino acid and fat synthesis, energy metabolism, and glycogen synthesis. High biotin intake can contribute to raised blood cholesterol levels. Folate responsible in the formation of red blood cells and carry oxygen in the body,cell groth and DNA synthesis. cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) has multiple functions such as formation of red blood cells,to produce and maintain the myelin of nerve cells, and breakdoen of fat and amino acid to produce energy.
