D) no change in cardiac output, increased heart rate, decreased stroke volume occurs after blood donation

Explanation:

When a person donates blood, there is a slight loss of blood volume or hypovolemia. This triggers the baroreceptors of the blood; although does not trigger the osmoreceptor.

The baroreceptor responses are according to the arterial pressure which rises momentarily and results in increased sympathetic activity with decreased vagal activity.

These changes will lead to vasoconstriction, reduced stroke volume, increased heart rate or tachycardia which helps to maintain the cardiac output.

The soreness at the venepuncture site on the skin is due to bruising which is common after any needleprick. applying cold pack, elevating and resting the arm.

In order to compensate for the fluid volume loss and avoid dehydration, one must take plenty of fluids before and after blood donation.

When an external stimulus crosses the threshold, a muscle fibre will respond.

<h3>The level of the threshold</h3>
  • For the identification of the electrical activity carried out by the active muscles, the threshold level is a crucial consideration.
  • A portion of the electrical activity carried out by the target muscles may be excluded if the chosen threshold level is higher than the overall activity.
<h3>What is the stimulus threshold for muscle contraction?</h3>
  • A certain stimulus magnitude is necessary for muscle contraction.
  • The threshold stimulus is the smallest amount of force needed for a stimulus to cause a muscle to contract in response.
  • If the stimulus intensity is less than this threshold value, there is no response.

Illusion [34]

Answer: D) Tree roots improve soil water retention

There are many reasons which states that deforestation increases the risk of flood. First   , some water stay on the leaves and evaporates in to the atmosphere. Second, tree leaves reduce the impact of raindrops on the soil which causes less soil erosion.

Third, tree roots absorb water from the soil, which make the soil dry and it absorb more water rainwater. The roots of tree hold the soil in place and reduce the movement of sediment which reduce the capacity of river to break its banking. Thus, reducing the chances of flood.
