Summary Introduction

To provide: An overview of the design and function of the circulatory system.

Introduction: The circulatory system often works in coordination with the respiratory system to meet the increasing oxygen needs (cardiorespiratory system). Heart is the chief organ of the circulatory system. It is the muscular organ that pumps blood to the blood vessels.

Explanation of Solution

Overview of the circulatory system:

The main function of the circulatory system is to circulate the blood to all the body tissues. Heart serves as the chief pumping organ to pump the blood. The human circulatory system is a closed system because the arteries and veins remain continuous with each other through small vessels. Arteries are involved in carrying the blood away from the heart, whereas veins carry blood to the heart. The extensive branches of the artery are known as arterioles, which further develop into “beds of small vessels” called as capillaries. The exchange of all gases and nutrients between the tissues and circulatory system occurs at the capillaries. Various substances from the capillaries are moved to the venules, which move back to the heart by increasing in their size to form veins. Veins empty its contents directly to the heart. The combined or mixed blood from upper and lower sides of the body accumulates in the right side of the heart, and it is known as “mixed venous blood”.

Functions:

  • Transportation of oxygenated blood to all the cells of the body.
  • Remove waste material through deoxygenated blood from the body.
  • Transportation of nutrients to all parts of the body.

For each of the following problems calculate the following: (Week 6-3 Video with 6-1 and 6-2) Consult the total catabolic pathways on the last page as a reference for the following questions. A. How much NADH and FADH2 is produced and fed into the electron transport chain (If any)? B. How much ATP is made from oxidative phosphorylation (OP), if any? Feed the NADH and FADH2 into the electron transport chain: 3ATP/NADH, 2ATP/FADH2 C. How much ATP is made by substrate level phosphorylation (SLP)? D. How much total ATP is made? Add the SLP and OP together. 1. Aerobic respiration using 0.5 mole of glucose? NADH FADH2 OP ATP SLP ATP Total ATP Show your work using dimensional analysis here:
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 glycerol . 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…
