Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Muscles are one of the most important tissue of our body that helps in the movement and contraction of the body. Three main types of skeletal muscles are cardiac muscle, smooth muscle and skeletal muscle.

The muscles are attached to bones by tendons.  The attachment of muscles will determine its movement. The contraction of muscles result in the movement of body parts but not always. The joining of muscles with immovable bones do not result in the movement.

Thus, the answer is false.

One of the primary skills those who work with the dead must possess is __________ of character.
Vikki [24]

Answer: Braveness

Explanation: Working with the dead is not for the faint hearted but for the brave. Working with corpse can be ominous. Someone who squeals and is usually terrified when watching horror like 6 Fts under, faces of death and so on would find it difficult working with the dead. However, someone that has fancied horror may enjoy the work.

Also, relatives of these dead people come around and it's only a brave staff that would be able to grieve with these ones.

When on night shift, it may want to look really scary but being of a strong mind would go a long way and every other night shift would become a walk over.

Which nutrition patterns are common in the United States? Check all that apply.
Anika [276]

Answer:

  • Most Americans consume more than the recommended daily amount of sugar.
  • Americans eat about 20 percent of their meals in a car
  • Poor nutrition contributes to the rising cost of medical care in the United States.

Explanation:

According to the American Heart Association, in a day, 6 teaspoons of sugar for men and 9 teaspoons for women is the recommended quantity and this is a view supported by the World Health Organisation. Americans on average however, consume 17 teaspoons of sugar per day.

It is also estimated that 20% of meals eaten by Americans are eaten in the car. This has been put down to the fact that Americans are simply busy people who are always on the go and so have to be more efficient with time with one of the ways to do this being multitasking. This is why some people even shave in their cars on their way to work.

According to the Harvard School of Public Health, as of 2019, 20% of Medical costs spent on heart diseases and diabetes, are the result of an unhealthy diet. This is about $50 billion nationally. It is estimated that this figure will continue to rise unless Americans start consuming healthier foods such as nuts and seeds and seafood rich in Omega-3 fats.
