Pacemakers maintain the heartbeat in people who suffer from certain defects. The function of an artificial pacemaker is to send
electrical impulses that will contract the heart muscles and regulate the pumping of the heart. Which condition could be corrected by a pacemaker? A. The individual’s sinoatrial node ceases to function.
B. The individual’s central nervous system fails to signal the heart to contract and relax.
C. The individual’s arteries are blocked.
D. The valves in the individual’s heart cease to function.
I believe it would be A. because that is the muscle that regulates the heart pumping. This would happen because the pacemaker is taking over and it now has no purpose.
Explanation: Pacemakers are artificial device used generates electrical signals in the heart. It is used when the heart is not able to contract and relax( pumping of blood) naturally. This is known as natural pacing of the heart.
This mechanism is controlled naturally by the sinoatrial node of the heart. When the muscles present in the heart relax and contract the pumping of blood takes place.
When this mechanism is not properly working, artificial devices called as pacemakers are used.
The reactants of photosynthesis are water, carbon dioxide and light energy.<span>Plants use these reactants to make the food that is essential for plant growth.</span>
The choice that isn’t an adaption is choice D because although having a moisture-rich diet is essential for birds, it isn’t required for them to obtain this adaptation when living in the chaparral biome. I hope this helps.
Electromagnetic radiation is a type of energy that is commonly known as light. Generally speaking, we say that light travels in waves, and all electromagnetic radiation travels at the same speed which is about 3.0 * 108 meters per second through a vacuum.
