Explanation of Solution

The sources of hazardous materials may be chemicals, physical agents, and biological agents.

The unwanted chemicals may be consumed in contaminated food or water, inhaled into the lungs, or absorbed through the skin. Chemical sources have many types of hazardous materials such as heavy metals, acid bases, inhalants (particulate or solvents), asbestos, and pesticides.

Physical agents include temperatures hazards (such as hyperthermia and hypothermia), radiation hazards (such as ionizing radiation and light energy), noise hazards, food and waterborne hazards.

The biological agents include bites and stings that may cause disease and other physical complications.

Topic: What does EMG activity look like and how does this change with increasing intensity of muscle contraction? What does the relationship between the biceps RMS EMG amplitude and contraction intensity suggest? If contraction of one skeletal muscle fibre produces electrical activity (i.e. EMG activity), what does the above relation imply? There are several factors that influence tension produced by a whole skeletal muscle. Which 2 factors are preliminary influencing the relationship between the Biceps RMS EMGamplitude and contraction intensity in the current task? Topic 2: How do muscle work together to perform coordinated movements? Describe the EMG activity in the triceps muscle during elbow flexion and what this activity represents. What might the purpose of this be? Topic 3: What is a stretch reflex? Stimulus that will evoke the reflex is a light tap on the patellar ligament. How will the light tap affect the length of the rectus femoris muscle? What effect would the…
Does the first heart sound (lubb) occur before or after the QRS complex and explain why this is the case? (I need descriptions of considering the both possibilities). Your answer should include a description about what the QRS complex represents, whether the relevant heart chamber is contracting or relaxing, the specific valves involved, and how the pressure within the relevant heart chamber determines whether these valves are open or closed. Does the second heart sound (dupp) occur before or after the T wave and explain why this is the case? (I need descriptions of considering both of the possibilities). Your answer should include a description about what the T wave represents, whether the relevant heart chamber is contracting or relaxing, the specific valves involved, and how the pressure within the relevant chamber and vessels determines whether these valves are open or closed. Before the real exam begins, I would really appreciate seeing how these questions could be answered in…
