Chapter 20, Problem 1CP
Define each of the following external features of the heart: auricle, coronary sulcus, anterior interventricular sulcus, and posterior interventricular sulcus.
Expert Solution & Answer
Summary Introduction
To review:
The given terms of the heart: posterior interventricular sulcus, auricle, anterior interventricular sulcus, and coronary sulcus.
Introduction:
The heart is the prime organ of the circulatory system of the body. It is a four-chambered organ that pumps blood throughout the body. It lies between the two lungs and is slightly oriented towards the left side of the body. It is protected by a three-layered pericardium layer. The upper chamber of the heart, which forms the base of the heart is called auricle while the lower chambers forming the apex as ventricles.
Explanation of Solution
Auricle: It is a pouch-like structure, which is located on the anterior portion of the atria. It is slightly wrinkled and functions to increase the capacity of the atria in holding a large volume of blood.
Coronary sulcus: The heart is marked by groves externally (sulci), which contains the blood vessels and fat deposition. The coronary sulcus is present between the upper atria and the lower ventricles.
Anterior interventricular sulcus: This sulcus is present on the anterior potion of the heart between the left and right ventricles.
Posterior interventricular sulcus: This sulcus is present on the posterior surface of the heart between the left and the right ventricles. This sulcus is in continuation with the anterior interventricular sulcus.
Conclusion
Thus, the auricle is an extension of the atria, which increases the capacity of the heart in terms of holding blood. The sulci are the grooves present on the heart's surface, which consists of fat and blood vessels and is named as per their location on the heart.

What objects or events has the team chosen to analyze?
How does your team wish to delineate the domain or scale in which these objects or events operate? How does that limited domain facilitate a more feasible research project?
What is your understanding of their relationships to other objects and events? Are you excluding other things from consideration which may influence the phenomena you seek to understand? Examples of such exclusions might include certain air-born pollutants; a general class of water bodies near Ottawa, or measurements recorded at other months of the year; interview participants from other organizations that are involved in the development of your central topic or issue.

The Esp gene encodes a protein that alters the structure of the insulin receptor on osteoblasts and interferes with the binding of insulin to the receptor. A researcher created a group of osteoblasts with an Esp mutation that prevented the production of a functional Esp product (mutant). The researcher then exposed the mutant strain and a normal strain that expresses Esp to glucose and compared the levels of insulin in the blood near the osteoblasts (Figure 2).
Which of the following claims is most consistent with the data shown in Figure 2 ?
A Esp expression is necessary to prevent the overproduction of insulin.
B Esp protein does not regulate blood-s
