Answer:

The question is lacking the options, below is the completely stated question and options:

This is the correct path of an electrical excitation from the pacemaker to a cardiocyte in the left ventricle (LV).

A. sinoatrial (SA) node → atrioventricular (AV) node → atrioventricular (AV) bundle → Purkinje fibers → cardiocyte in LV

B. atrioventricular (AV) node → sinoatrial (SA) node → atrioventricular (AV) bundle → Purkinje fibers → cardiocyte in LV

C. sinoatrial (SA) node → atrioventricular (AV) bundle → atrioventricular (AV) node → Purkinje fibers → cardiocyte in LV

D. atrioventricular (AV) node → Purkinje fibers → atrioventricular (AV) bundle → sinoatrial (SA) node → cardiocyte in LV

E. sinoatrial (SA) node → atrioventricular (AV) node → Purkinje fibers → atrioventricular (AV) bundle → cardiocyte in LV

Answer:

The correct answer is:

sinoatrial (SA) node → atrioventricular (AV) node → atrioventricular (AV) bundle → Purkinje fibers → cardiocyte in LV (A.)

Explanation:

The electrical impulse conduction system of the heart refers to the pathways through which electrical signals pass, to cause excitation of specific paths of the heart, leading to depolarization, which in turn leads to contraction and relaxation of the heart. The correct excitation pathway is as follows:

1. Normal excitation originates in the sinoatrial (SA) node, from which depolarization spreads throughout the atria, causing impulses (excitation) to spread from the SA node to the atria. It is believed that this depolarization spreads to the atrial cells through adjacent myocardial cells and myofibrils.

2. Next, the depolarization from the atria reaches the atrioventricular (AV) node, causing excitation of the AV node. The AV node is located on the floor of the right ventricle, close to the interventricular septum. The excitation leaves this site by two pathways; the fast and slow pathways which vary based on the time of transmission of impulses to the next phase.

3. Next, from the AV node, the excitation is passed to the two branches of the bundle of His, which form a network of fibers known as purkinje fibers, from where excitation passes to the apical region of the left and right ventricles causing depolarization of the ventricular myocardium.

Attached to this answer is a picture to show what the pathway looks like.

Amanda, a 3-year old child, is brought in to your walk-in clinic to be treated for strep throat. The physician orders Amoxicilli

r-ruslan [8.4K]

1.) Urticaria is the type of reaction the child is having.

2.) Skin rash, nausea, vomiting, difficulty breathing, and shock.

3.) This is a anaphylactic reaction.

4.) asking the mother if the daughter had any drug allergies not just antibiotics and then checking the system for any past references to allergies for the child.

5.) Amoxil, Moxatag, and Larotid

6.) Penicillinase-sensitive penicillin

7.) It can commonly cause a mild rash and trouble swallowing/breathing.

8.) amoxicillin is contraindicated in patients with a known serious hypersensitivity reaction.

9.) The tablets of amoxicillin do not contain phenylalanine and can be used by phenylketonurics.

10.) the reaction to amoxicillin for patients with phenylketonurics?

11.) Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea

I hope this helps!!!

What three respiratory diseases combine in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease? how does smoking cause this disease?.

ahrayia [7]

COPD, emphysema, bronchitis , and asthma. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which incorporates chronic bronchitis.

<h3>What about chronic obstructive pulmonary disease?</h3>

COPD symptoms include persistent coughing or wheezing.
Excessive sputum or phlegm.
Respiration difficulty.
The signs and symptoms include wheezing, expulsion mucus (sputum), and trouble breathing.
It's frequently brought on by prolonged exposure to irritant gases or particulates, most often from cigarette smoke.
Heart disease, carcinoma , and a variety of other diseases are more likely to occur in people with COPD.
In around 9 out of each 10 cases, smoking is regarded to be the first cause of COPD.
The lining of the lungs and airways can get damaged by the toxic compounds in smoke.
Quitting smoking can help stop the deterioration of COPD.
Short-acting bronchodilator inhalers are the initial line of therapy for the bulk of COPD patients.
Breathing is formed easier by bronchodilators, which relax and expand the airways.
Short-acting bronchodilator inhalers are available in two varieties: beta-2 agonist inhalers, like salbutamol and terbutaline.
For those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who have (or are in danger for) hypercapnia, an excessive amount of oxygen can be harmful.
Patients with hypercapnia are frequently over oxygenated, despite established standards and acknowledged danger.
