One of the first diagnostic tools used at the hospital was an electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG), which reflects the electrical acti

vity of the cardiac muscle. We know that the atria contract first (the P wave) and then, after a brief delay, the ventricles contract (the QRS complex). Given that the heart does not have any nerves to stimulate the cardiac muscle cells, how is the timing of contraction coordinated? How do action potentials get from muscle cell to muscle cell? If the EKG shows a long delay between the P wave and the QRS complex, which type of cardiac tissue might have been damaged?

Answer:

  • The heart has an intrinsic conduction system that causes electrical activity in the heart muscles causing them to contract. The intrinsic conduction system is made up specialized cells, that contain nerve and muscular characteristics.
  • The muscle cells in the heart are linked together by gap junctions, allowing cardiac action potentials to travel from one muscle cell to another.
  • Atrioventricular (AV) node. The damage to the AV node causes the electrical signals traveling from the upper chambers to the lower chambers to be impaired causing an  AV block.

In rabbits, black fur is dominant to white fur.
Fudgin [204]

Crossing a BB male with a Bb female:

The Punnett Square will look like this:

BB BB

Bb Bb

The percentage will be as follows:

- You will have 50% homozygous dominant (BB)

- You will have 50% heterozygous (Bb)

Now, for the phenotype, you will have 100% black fur, since B is dominant and is prevalent in 100% of all the breeds.

For the genotype, you have 50% BB and 50% Bb

12. How can water move from one tracheid into a neighboring cell?
olganol [36]

Answer and Explanation:

12. The water has a lower osmotic pressure than the cell sap of the root hairs. Due to the osmotic difference water is drawn by osmosis across the cell wall and cell membrane into root hairs. Water moves by osmosis into adjacent cortex cells and their osmotic pressure is lowered drawing water by osmosis. Water passes to the successive cortex cells and through the endodermis to the xylem vessels. At the leaves, the xylem passes into the petiole and then into the veins of the leaf. Water leaves the veins and enters the cells of the spongy and palisade layers.

13. Food and other manufactured material are translocated by the phloem. They enter the sieve elements through plasmodesmata connecting them to adjacent companion cells which are sites of high metabolic activity. The manufactured food are translocated through sieve tube along the cytoplasmic strands.

Which refers to swelling as a result of inflammation?
Bad White [126]

Answer: Edema

Explanation:

The swelling that is caused as the result of inflammation is known as Edema. Just after an injury takes place the traumatized area becomes red, painful and warm. It also starts to swell.

This swelled area is also known as Edema which is caused due to acute response of acute inflammation.

This response is trigerred by the injured tissues. When the body starts healing then, change in blood flow takes place and swelling is also cured.

But sometimes it is so acute that it restricts the normal blood flow and movement of the affected area.
