2. Beginning with the superior vena cava, trace the path followed by a red blood cell as it passes into and through the heart, t

o the lungs, back to and through the heart, and to the rest of the body. Name each heart chamber, valve, and large blood vessel in the pathway.

Answer:

BLOOD PATHWAY:

Body > superior and inferior vena cava > right atrium > tricuspid valve > right ventricle > pulmonary semilunar valve > pulmonary artery > lungs > pulmonary vien > left ventricle > bicuspid/mitral valve> left ventricle > Aortic semilunar valve > Aorta > Body

The pathway goes like this:

From the body (we don't say first because this is a cycle), unoxygenated blood collected goes to the heart via the <u>INFERIOR and SUPERIOR VENA CAVA</u> then it empties into the <u>RIGHT ATRIUM</u> from there it passess through a valve called <u>TRICUSPID</u> valve, which prevents backflow of blood to the right atrium. The blood goes to our first pumping chamber, <u>RIGHT VENTRICLE. </u> The right ventricle pumps the blood through the <u>PULMONARY SEMILUNAR VALVE</u> which leads to the <u>PULMONARY ARTERIES</u>, which happens to be the only arteries that carry unoxygenated blood. From there it goes to the lungs to pick up oxygen and rid itself of carbon dioxide. The blood then goes back into the heart via the <u>PULMONARY VEINS</u> and like the latter, they are the only veins that carry oxygenated blood.

The blood then goes back into the heart, emptying into the <u>LEFT ATRIUM. </u> From there it goes through the <u>BICUSPID VALVE or MITRAL VALVE</u> and to the last and thickest pumping chamber, the <u>LEFT VENTRICLE.</u> The left ventricle pumps the blood through the <u>AORTIC SEMILUNAR VALVE</u> which opens out to the <u>AORTA. </u>

And at last, it goes back to your body.

Match the gastric phase on the left (1-3) with the correct description on the right (4-6):
dem82 [27]

Answer:

1 and 5,

2 and 6,

3 and 4

Explanation:

Intestinal phase: stomach empties and decreases secretions

The intestinal phase is the phase where stomach empties its contents(chyme) and decreases secretion. In this stage the duodenum responds to arriving chyme and moderates gastric activity through hormones and nervous reflexes.

The Chyme is the semi-fluid mass of partly digested food that is expelled by the stomach, through the pyloric valve, into the duodenum.

Gastric phase: stomach secretes juice and mixes food into chyme

The gastric phase is a period in which swallowed food and semi-digested protein ( peptides and amino acids ) activate gastric activity  which secretes juice and mixes food into chyme. About two-thirds of gastric secretion occurs during this phase.

Cephalic phase: prepares stomach for arrival of food

The cephalic phase of digestion is the gastric secretion that occurs prior to when food enters the oral cavity. Cephalic phase result from the ignition of  visual, olfactory, and auditory inputs to the brain and also induce anticipatory responses i.e  prepare the gastrointestinal tract for the meal.

if a cell increases the activity of its actin severing proteins, will it lead in the short term to more or less actin polymer ma
marta [7]

More polymer will form if the concentration of free actin monomers is higher than the Cc at both the plus and minus ends.

Less polymer will form if the concentration of free actin monomers is lower than the Cc at both the plus and minus ends.

Actin polymerization encourages FAK and Src to activate small G proteins by signalling to GEFs and GTPases (e.g., Rho and Rac). The actomyosin network is then forced to develop as a result of G proteins' induction of cytoskeleton-regulating proteins.

What stops cells from forming actin polymers?

Actin monomer is sequestered by monomer-binding proteins, reducing its availability for polymerization. As a result, actin does not polymerize when monomer-binding proteins are present in stoichiometric levels.

Q. If a cell increases the activity of its actin severing proteins, will it lead in the short term to MORE or LESS actin polymer mass? Chose the most accurate answer.

Increased severing activity will result in LESS polymer under any conditions.

Increased severing activity will result in NO CHANGE in the total amount of polymer under any conditions. It simply results in a larger number of smaller filaments.

Increased severing activity will result in MORE polymer under any conditions.

If the concentration of free actin monomers is below the Cc for both the plus and minus ends, then MORE polymer will result. If the concentration of free actin monomers is above the Cc for both the plus and minus ends, then LESS polymer will result.

If the concentration of free actin monomers is above the Cc for both the plus and minus ends, then MORE polymer will result. If the concentration of free actin monomers is below the Cc for both the plus and minus ends, then LESS polymer will result.
