D. All of the above

Explanation:

In Human anatomy, cardiac cycle can be defined as a complete heartbeat of the human heart which comprises of sequential alternating contraction and relaxation of the atria and ventricles, therefore causing blood to flow unidirectionally (one direction) throughout the human body.

Generally, the cardiac cycle occurs in two (2) stages;

1. Diastole : in this stage, the ventricles is relaxed and would be filled with blood.

2. Systole: at this stage, the muscles contracts and thus, allow blood to be pushed through the atria.

Cardiac output can be defined as the volume of blood that is being pumped by the mammalian heart through the left and right ventricle per unit time (minute).

The following conducting systems of the heart cause the ventricles to contract;

I. Atrioventricular (AV) node: it's a component of the electrical conduction system of the mammalian heart located in the Koch triangle which connect the ventricles and atria electrically.

II. Atrioventricular (AV) bundle: it's a specialized tissue that transmits electrical impulse from the atrioventricular (AV) node to the Purkinje fibres of the ventricles.

III. Purkinje fibers: it's a network of specialized cells that comprises of glycogen and they transmit cardiac action potentials in a rapid manner from the atrioventricular (AV) bundle to the myocardium of the ventricles.

Furthermore, the right atrioventricular valve (AV) also referred to as the tricuspid valve is located on the right dorsal side of the human heart. The right atrioventricular valve (AV) comprises of three (3) leaflets (flaps) which opens and closes in order to allow for the flow of blood from the right atrium of the human heart to the right ventricle. Also, the right atrioventricular valve is saddled with the responsibility of preventing blood from flowing backward in the mammalian heart.

The collared lizard is a species found in the desert southwest. male collared lizards show considerable color variation, ranging from brightly colored to a very dull pattern. your goal is to determine the function, if any, of male color patterns in collared lizards, using the scientific method. your tentative explanation is that male color plays a role in attracting females for mating purposes. you predict that females will preferentially choose brightly colored males over dull-colored ones. to test this prediction, you observed the interactions of female collared lizards with their male counterparts. you selected males that were the same age and size, and that differed only in their coloration pattern. you placed equal numbers of the two types of male lizards, bright and dull, in aquariums, along with one female lizard per aquarium. out of 350 aquariums observed, the female chose to mate with the brightly colored male 277 times, and the dull-colored male 70 times. in 3 instances, the females did not mate with either type. create a bar graph of your data, plotting the type of male (dull or brightly colored) on the x-axis. on the y-axis, plot the frequency with which each type of male was chosen by females. using this graph, answer the following question(s). is it reasonable to conclude (i.e., is it supported by the data) that female collared lizards prefer more brightly colored male lizards over dull-colored males?
