Answer:

light-year; the sun

Explanation:

A light-year is the distance light travels in one year. This means that a light-year is a measure of distance, and is useful on a larger scale because of its large size (light travels a pretty big distance in a year!), so light-years are used by scientists to measure the vast distance in space.

The closest star to the Earth is the Sun.

Gravity is the natural phenomenon in which all objects with mass are attracted to (or gravitate towards) one another. Since gravity is neither a measure of distance nor a star, it doesn't fit any of the answer blanks.

Light is the portion of the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye (between infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths). Since light is neither a measure of distance nor a star, it doesn't fit any of the answer blanks.

A megameter is an instrument for determining longitude by observation of the stars. Since a megameter is neither a measure of distance nor a star, it doesn't fit any of the answer blanks.

Betelguese is a star that is part of the Orion, notable because of its brightness and size, as well as the fact that it is likely to become a supernova in less than a million years. While Betelguese is a star, it isn't the closest star to the Earth. Therefore, it doesn't fit any of the answer blanks.

Hope this helps! :)

Agents that paralyze skeletal muscle by simple competitive inhibition of acetylcholine at muscle receptor sites are called?

a. nondepolarizing

b. depolarizing

c. antagonizing

d. repolarizing

Answer:

a. nondepolarizing

Explanation:

As the nerve impulse arrives, the synaptic end bulbs of the motor neurons release acetylcholine in the synapse. Acetylcholine binds to its receptors present at the motor endplate. This results in the opening of an ion channel in the ACh receptor to allow the movement of the Na+ into the cell. This makes the inside of the muscle fiber more positively charged, that is, depolarized.

Depolarization triggers a muscle action potential. Drugs or chemicals that paralyze skeletal muscle by competitive inhibition of acetylcholine at muscle receptor sites are called non-depolarizing as they do not allow the acetylcholine to facilitate the depolarization of the muscle fiber.

The registered nurse is overseeing a nursing student who is providing a dressing change to a patient who had a cesarean section.
natulia [17]

<span>The nurse conducting wound care should choose a dressing that keeps the periwound skin dry and the surgical wound bed moist to contribute healing. The dressing used for wound care should control exudate from the wound, but it should not desiccate the wound bed. There must be a pressure in application while cleaning the periwound and wound may deepend the wound bed. Using sterile normal saline and a sterile gauze to clean the surgical wound reduces the incidences of infection.</span>
