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.

But the answers provided im not seeing the real answer as in they put the problem that caused a. Disease in a vaccine only so much of it and add antidote example flu shot . It attacks some people immune system and they get sick because of injecting it into them but the belief is of catching it after I don’t believe I believe either your body can handle it or it does not and rejects it in the blood brain barrier so if recieved then you will get sick after getting the immunization

How does the power of sight allow humans to communicate with the outside world?
nignag [31]
According to studies, 80% of the data that we take in comes from our power of sight. Sight lets us take in 180° of images, perceive 1 million different colors, adjust what we see based on level of light & focus close up or miles away. Our vision is more detailed than any digital camera.

what will be the result of photosystem II being exposed to less sunlight more glucose molecules will be produced
melisa1 [442]

Fewer hydrogen ions will be pumped into the Thylakoid when photosystem II being exposed to less sunlight more glucose molecules will be produced.

Photosystem II is the first membrane protein complex in oxygenic photosynthetic organisms in nature. It produces atmospheric oxygen to catalyze the photo-oxidation of water by using light energy. It oxidizes two molecules of water into one molecule of molecular oxygen.

Photosystem II the energy derived from absorption of photons is used to split water molecules to molecular oxygen and protons. The most important function of photosystem II (PSII) is its action as a water-plastoquinone oxido-reductase. At the expense of light energy, water is split, and oxygen and plastoquinol are formed.

exis [7]
Vestigial traits are adaptations to environmental pressures which are no longer present.

homologous structures are similar structures found in different species that were present in a common ancestor.

analogous traits are similar traits found in different species that were developed independently (this process is known as convergent evolution)
