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.

- How is a protein destined for the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER), imported into the ER? Be concise.arrow_forwardFind out about the organisations and the movements aimed at the conservation of our natural resources. Eg Chipko movement and Greenpeace. Make a project report on such an organisation.arrow_forwardWhat are biofertilizers and mention the significancearrow_forward
- PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen. How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population? Based on your reading of the materials in this unit, what factors can affect fertility in humans? Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.arrow_forwardOther than oil and alcohol, are there other liquids you could compare to water (that are liquid at room temperature)? How is water unique compared to these other liquids? What follow-up experiment would you like to do, and how would you relate it to your life?arrow_forwardSelection of Traits What adaptations do scavengers have for locating and feeding on prey? What adaptations do predators have for capturing and consuming prey?arrow_forward
- Competition Between Species What natural processes limit populations from growing too large? What are some resources organisms can compete over in their natural habitat?arrow_forwardSpecies Interactions Explain how predators, prey and scavengers interact. Explain whether predators and scavengers are necessary or beneficial for an ecosystem.arrow_forwardmagine that you are conducting research on fruit type and seed dispersal. You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different. (Editor’s note: Providing this information in your discussion will help readers to consider the significance of the research).arrow_forward
