Expert Solution & Answer
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Metabolism can be defined as the sum of all the chemical processes occurring inside the body of an organism. These chemical processes are necessary for the organism to survive. The metabolic processes can be classified into anabolic and catabolic processes.
Explanation of Solution
The catabolic process which occurs within the heart is the 'fatty acid catabolism'. The degradation of the fatty acids involves the conversion of the aliphatic compounds into the acetyl units. These units are processes in the citric acid cycle.
The phospholipids and glycolipids are composed of the fatty acids as the structural unit. The heart produces energy from the fatty acid catabolism. The high energy demand of the heart is met through the fatty acid metabolism.
Conclusion
The fatty acid metabolism occurs in the heart. It provides the heart with the required energy.

HEART
The structure of the heart allows it to serve as two distinct pumps. One side of the heart pumps blood to the lungs
while the other side propels oxygenated blood throughout the body. The heart is unique in other ways as well. For
example, it consists of muscle found nowhere else in the body. What's more, cardiac cells can generate and
transmit electrical impulses spontaneously. Learn more about the characteristics of this vital organ by completing
the activities in this chapter.
Conceptualize in Color Heart Layers
Test your knowledge of the layers of the heart's wall and the pericardium by coloring the figure as suggested.
• Endocardium: Light pink
• Myocardium: Dark pink
• Fibrous pericardium: Orange
• Serous pericardium: Light blue
• Place green Xs in the pericardial space.
• Draw a bracket linking the layers that make up the
serous pericardium.

chapter
Compare and contrast heart and respiratory regulation.
During public speaking, there are many cardiovascular changes that occur before, during and after speaking.
Blood pressure (BP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) are high during a speech. After the speech, BP and MAP drop back to normal. How has resistance in the
vasculature for gastrointestinal blood flow and cerebral blood flow changed that allows this drop?
For this part of the question you will reference what happens for changes in the brain vasculature.
Resistance in the cerebral vasculature is high during the speech and low after the speech
Resistance in the cerebral vasculature is low during the speech and high after the speech
Resistance in the cerebral vasculature remains the same during and after the speech

- What are the important differences in the overall metabolic needs of a fish and a turtle and the ability of their circulatory systems to meet those needs? Select all that apply. Fish are less able to meet their metabolic needs than are turtles. Fish have a two-chamber heart (one atrium and one ventricle) and turtles have a three-chambered heart (two atria and one ventricle). Turtles are endothermic and fish are ectothermic Blood flows directly to other organs after being oxygenated in turtles, but return to the heart after being oxygenated in fish. Turtles have a double,-circuit circulatory system whereas fish have a single circulatory system.arrow_forwardDescribe how enzymes are used in the diagnosis of heart diseasearrow_forwardDirection: Familiarity with the circulation of blood through the heart and body is related to the succeeding lessons.

The aorta then divides into smaller and smaller blood vessels, eventually reaching vessels called capillaries. Capillaries are so small that oxygen and nutrients can diffuse across the vessel walls and into the tissues of the body, with CO2 and waste diffusing back into the blood. Let's say that the cross-sectional area of the aorta is 1 cm2 = 100 mm2. The blood pumps through the aorta at 100 mm/s but only through the capillaries at 1 mm/s. If each capillary has a cross-sectional area of 20 mm2, how many capillaries must there be in the body? Note: these numbers are not physiologically correct, but were chosen to make the math easier. The blood velocity through the aorta is closer to 300 mm/s. The capillaries have a total cross-sectional area of ~600,000 mm2 (6000 cm2), with a blood flow rate closer to 0.2 mm/s.arrow_forward
