Solution:

Myoglobin has a single chain of 153 amino acids wrapped around a group of iron and other atoms (called "heme") to which oxygen binds. Hemoglobin, in contrast, is made of up four chains: two identical chains consisting of 141 amino acids, and two other identical chains consisting of 146 amino acids.

Because amino acids can be arranged in many different combinations, it's possible for our body to make thousands of different kinds of proteins from just the same 21amino acids. There are only 20 amino acids.

The 20 Amino acids which make proteins are:

• alanine - ala - A (gif, interactive)

• arginine - arg - R (gif, interactive)

• asparagine - asn - N (gif, interactive)

• aspartic acid - asp - D (gif, interactive)

• cysteine - cys - C (gif, interactive)

• glutamine - gln - Q (gif, interactive)

• glutamic acid - glu - E (gif, interactive)

• glycine - gly

Arrange these elements of the intrinsic conduction system in the order that a depolarizing impulse travels during a normal heart
zlopas [31]

Answer:

SA Node

Inter-nodal Pathways

AV Node

AV Bundle

Bundle Branches

Purkinje Fibers

The SA nodes functions first for setting pace for the heart, then the inter-nodal pathway make link b/w SA and AV node. AV node is site of delay when contraction of atria occurs. AV bundle is the mean of electrical link b/w atria and ventricle. The conveying of impulse to the inter-ventricular septum occurs through bundle branches, while conveying of impulse throughout and along the walls of ventricle occurs through Purkinje fibers.
