Concept explainers
(a)
To determine:
The arteries that a red blood cell would encounter in the Posterior interventricular groove of the heart if it started in the left ventricle.
Introduction:
In the circulatory system, the heart is a muscular organ that is used to pump blood through blood vessels.
(b)
To determine:
The arteries that a red blood cell would encounter in an Anterior neck to the brain if it started in the left ventricle.
Introduction:
In the nervous system, the brain is the central organ that consists of the cerebrum, brainstem, and cerebellum.It controls all the activities of the body.
(c)
To determine:
The arteries that a red blood cell would encounter in the Posterior neck to the brain if it started in the left ventricle.
Introduction:
Neck is an anatomical structure of the body that connects the head with the trunk to provide the mobility and movement of the head.
(d)
To determine:
The arteries that a red blood cell would encounter in the external skull if it started in the left ventricle.
Introduction:
Skull is a bone framework that covers the brain and provides support to the structureof the face of all the vertebrates.
(e)
To determine:
The arteries that a red blood cell would encounter in the tip of the fingers of the left hand if it started in the left ventricle.
Introduction:
A finger is a limb, and an organ of manipulation and sensation occurs in the hands of humans and all the living organisms.
(f)
To determine:
The arteries that a red blood cell would encounter in the Anterior compartment of the leg if it started in the left ventricle.
Introduction:
Legs are the anatomical structure that is responsible for weight-bearing and locomotion.
(g)
To determine:
The arteries that a red blood cell would encounter in the liver if it started in the left ventricle.
Introduction:
Liver is an organ that used to detoxifies various metabolites, synthesizes proteins, and produce biochemical products for digestion in the body.
(h)
To determine:
The arteries that a red blood cell would encounter in the small intestine if it started in the left ventricle.
Introduction:
Small intestine is an organ present in the gastrointestinal tract where absorption of nutrients and minerals takes place.
(i)
To determine:
The arteries that a red blood cell would encounter in the urinary bladder if started in the left ventricle.
Introduction:
Urinary bladder is a hollow muscular organ that collects and stored urine from the kidney. In humans, the urinary bladder can hold 300-500 mL of urine.

- You intend to insert patched dominant negative DNA into the left half of the neural tube of a chick. 1) Which side of the neural tube would you put the positive electrode to ensure that the DNA ends up on the left side? 2) What would be the internal (within the embryo) control for this experiment? 3) How can you be sure that the electroporation method itself is not impacting the embryo? 4) What would you do to ensure that the electroporation is working?
