To label: The heart structures in Figure 27.2(a)
Introduction: The heart is the muscular organ that weighs about the size of the fist. The main function of the heart is to transport the oxygenated blood to all parts of the body. It consists of four chambers namely right atrium, left atrium, right ventricle, and left ventricle. The blood vessels called arteries and veins are involved in the transport of blood to the tissues and from tissues to the heart.

Answer to Problem 1.1BGL
Pictorial representation:
Fig 1: The anterior view of the heart.
Explanation of Solution
The structures of the anterior view of the heart is reviewed as follows:
Right auricle: It is the muscular cone shaped pouch that is attached to the right atrium of the heart. It is also called as right atrial appendage.
Cononary sulcus: It is the structure that separates the atrium of the heart from the ventricles. There are two coronary sulcus present in the heart namely right coronary sulcus and left coronary sulcus.
Right ventricle: It is one of the four heart chambers. It plays an important role in carrying the deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.
Left auricle: It is the muscular cone shaped pouch that is attached to the anterior surface of the left atrium of the heart. It functions in increasing the pumping capacity of the left atrium.
Anterior interventricular sulcus: The heart consists of two interventricular sulcus namely anterior interventricular sulcus and posterior interventricular sulcus. It plays an important role in separating the ventricles of the heart.
Left ventricle: It is one of the four heart chambers. It plays an important role in carrying the oxygenated blood to all parts of the body.
Apex of heart: It is present in the left side of the heart between the fourth and fifth ribs. It consists of the left ventricle. It plays an important role in regulating the contraction of the ventricles.

Answer to Problem 1.1BGL
Pictorial representation:
Fig 2: The posterior view of the heart.
Explanation of Solution
The structures of the posterior view of the heart is reviewed as follows:
Left atrium: It is one of the four heart chambers. The oxygenated blood from the lungs enters into the left atrium.
Coronary sulcus: It is the structure that separates the atrium of the heart from the ventricles. There are two coronary sulcus present in the heart namely right coronary sulcus and left coronary sulcus.
Left ventricle: It is one of the four heart chambers. It plays an important role in carrying the oxygenated blood to all parts of the body.
Adipose tissue: The adipose tissue that surrounds the heart plays an important role by acting as cushion and insulates the heart.
Posterior interventricular sulcus: The heart consists of two interventricular sulcus namely anterior interventricular sulcus and posterior interventricular sulcus. It plays an important role in separating the ventricles of the heart.
Right atrium: It is one of the four chambers of the heart that receives the deoxygenated blood from the vena cava and pumps to the right ventricle.
Right ventricle: It is one of the four chambers of the heart that sends blood to the lungs to get oxygenated through the pulmonary arteries.

- There is currently a H5N1 cattle outbreak in North America. According to the CDC on Feb 26*: "A multistate outbreak of HPAI A(H5N1) bird flu in dairy cows was first reported on March 25, 2024. This is the first time that these bird flu viruses had been found in cows. In the United States, since 2022, USDA has reported HPAI A(H5N1) virus detections in more than 200 mammals." List and describe two mechanisms that could lead to this H5N1 influenza strain evolving to spread in human: Mechanisms 1: Mechanisms 2: For the mutations to results in a human epidered they would need to change how the virus interacts with the human host. In the case of mutations that may promote an epidemic, provide an example for: a protein that might incur a mutation: how the mutation would change interactions with cells in the respiratory tract (name the receptor on human cells) List two phenotypic consequence from this mutation that would increase human riskarrow_forwardYou have a bacterial strain with the CMU operon: a) As shown in the image below, the cmu operon encodes a peptide (Pep1), as well as a kinase and regulator corresponding to a two-component system. The cmu operon is activated when Pep 1 is added to the growth media. Pep1 is a peptide that when added extracellularly leads to activation of the Cmu operon. Pep1 cmu-kinase cmu-regulator You also have these genetic components in other strains: b) An alternative sigma factor, with a promoter activated by the cmu-regulator, that control a series of multiple operons that together encode a transformasome (cellular machinery for transformation). c) the gene cl (a repressor). d) the promoter X, which includes a cl binding site (and in the absence of cl is active). e) the gene gp (encoding a green fluorescence protein). Using the cmu operon as a starting point, and assuming you can perform cloning to rearrange any of these genomic features, how would you use one or more of these to modify the…arrow_forwardYou have identified a new species of a Gram-positive bacteria. You would like to screen their genome for all proteins that are covalently linked to the cell wall. You have annotated the genome, so that you identified all the promoters, operons, and genes sequences within the operons. Using these features, what would you screen for to identify a set of candidates for proteins covalently linked to the bacterial cell wall.arrow_forward
