Answer:

Explanation:

Haemoglobin in the red blood cells which is one of the components of the circulatory medium, the blood, has a great affinity for oxygen hence transports it around the body during circulation. It is the circulatory system that carries both oxygenated and deoxygenated blood around the body, between the lungs and the heart. The circulatory system takes blood with carbon dioxide to the lungs where oxygen that entered into the body through the nostrils will be exchanged with carbon dioxide in the alveoli. Consequently carbon dioxide will go out of the body through the nostrils via the trachea and haemoglobin in the red blood cells in the blood( blood capillaries) will

carry oxygen which is transported around the body.

The cingulate cortex is a subcortical structure above the corpus callosum. its anterior (forward) segment participates in ____,

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer;

Decision making and emotion; memory and visual processing

Explanation;

Cingulate Cortex is a subcortical structure above the corpus callosum. its anterior (Forward) segment participates in decision making and emotion, and its posterior (rear) segment participates in memory and visual processing.

-The forward 2/3 of this structure, the ACC: anterior cingulate cortex- participates along with the hypothalamus in the control of the autonomic nervous system (also roles in decision making, emotion, anticipation of reward, and empathy)

The rear third, PCC: Posterior cingulate cortex participates in memory and visual processing.

When muscle tissue is exercising under anaerobic conditions, the production of ______ is important because it ensures a continuo

MatroZZZ [7]

Given what we know about the biological mechanisms behind anaerobic exercise, we can confirm that the production of lactate ensures a continuous supply of NAD.

In order for us to undergo any physical exercise, it is imperative that we are able to produce energy within our cells. The energy used by cells is in the form of a molecule by the name of ATP, which is produced primarily through a process known as <em>Glycolysis</em>.

This is relevant given that in order for glycolysis to happen, a key protein is required known as NAD+. Lactate is produced from pyruvate only under anaerobic conditions because these are conditions that lack oxygen which is the only other source of NAD+, therefore, pyruvate must be converted to lactic acid to make it possible to continue glycolysis and the production of ATP.
