What does the relationship between the biceps RMS EMG amplitude and contraction intensity suggest?

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?

- what makes the first (lubb) and second (dupp) heart sounds? what does the time interva between the start of the P wave and start of the QRS complex represent in terms of the AV node? Describe the flow of oxygenated blood from the first heart sound (lubb) to the finger. Your answer should include the name of the relevant heart chamber, the direction of blood flow through the relevant valve, the name of the elastic artery that the oxygenated blood is ejected into, and the type of blood vessel that ransports the oxygenated blood to the fingers. Why is there a delay between the first heart sound (lubb) and onset of the rising phase of the pulse pressure? State the normal resting mean arterial pressure (include units of measure) and name one lifestyle factor that could account for variation in resting mean arterial pressure between individuals?
