Which of these structures returns blood to the right atrium?
a. coronary sinus
b. inferior vena cava
c. superior vena cava
d. Both b and c are correct.
e. All of these are correct.

Introduction:
The interventricular artery, left marginal artery, circumflex, right marginal artery, posterior interventricular artery, great cardiac vein, and small cardiac vein are responsible for supplying blood to and from the heart.
Answer to Problem 1RAC
The correct answer is option (e) all of these are correct.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (e) All of these are correct. The right atrium is specifically supplied with the blood from several structures. Among all these structures, some supply specifically from the body to the right atrium and one from the heart itself. The inferior vena cava, superior vena cava, and the coronary sinus, all supply the right atrium with the blood. So, the correct answer is option (e).
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option (a) coronary sinus. The coronary sinus supplies the blood from cardiac muscles, but along with this, inferior vena cava and superior vena cava also supply. Hence, the given option is not correct.
Option (b) inferior vena cava. The inferior vena cava supplies the blood from below, but along with this, coronary sinus and superior vena cava also supply. Hence, the given option is not correct.
Option (c) superior vena cava. The superior vena cava supplies the blood from cardiac muscles, but along with this, inferior vena cava and coronary sinus also supply. Hence, the given option is not correct.
Option (d) Both b and c are correct. All the given options supply blood to the right atrium. Hence, the given option is not correct.
Thus, superior and inferior vena cava and the coronary sinus supply blood to the right atrium. Hence, the correct answer is option (e) All of these are correct.

Steroids diffuse through membranes without transporters. Compare and contrast the remaining substances and circle the three substances that can diffuse through a membrane the fastest, without a transporter.

Affected individuals show spots of abnormal skin pigmentation and non-cancerous tumors that can interfere with the nervous system and cause blindness. Some tumors can convert to a cancerous form. i The recessive form is a normal protein - in other words, no neurofibromatosis.moovi A typical pedigree for a family that carries neurofibromatosis is shown below. Note that carriers are not indicated with half-colored shapes in this chart. Use the letter "N" to indicate the dominant neurofibromatosis allele, and the letter "n" for the normal allele.

Aerobic respiration of one lipid molecule. The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your total number of ATP produced per lipid. Assume no other carbon source is available. 18 carbons fatty acids 12 carbons 9 glycerol A. Glycerol is broken down to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, a glycolysis intermediate via the following pathway shown in the figure below. Notice this process costs one ATP but generates one FADH2. Continue generating ATP with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate using the standard pathway and aerobic respiration. glycerol glycerol-3- phosphate…arrow_forward
