Explain how muscle contraction occurs

Health

Answer:

Muscle contraction occurs when the thin actin and thick myosin filaments slide past each other. It is generally assumed that this process is driven by cross-bridges which extend from the myosin filaments and cyclically interact with the actin filaments as ATP is hydrolysed.

Explanation:

Muscle contraction occurs when the thin actin and thick myosin filaments slide past each other. ... In this conformation the cross-bridge binds weakly to actin and attaches and detaches so rapidly that it can slip from actin site to actin site, offering very little resistance to stretch.

When choosing a healthcare provider, who is responsible for making sure insurance covers the care? A. you B. doctors C. insuranc
viktelen [127]

Answer:

<h2>A. you.</h2>

Explanation:

The correct answer is A, because the actor that's responsible for choosing a healthcare provider is YOU, which means that every individual is the one that make this choice. Neither your doctor or nurse choose this. Even though, doctor, nurses or insurance companies would help you to choose by providing important information that fits with your needs, but the ultimate choice is made by the patient.

On the other hand, to make a good and wise decision, you should evaluate yourself and your health needs, maybe you need an internist to constantly check your body, or an cardiologist, because you have a specific heart condition. That's why this decision should be taken depending on the needs, not the publicity, or others opinion (at least is a professional opinion).
