Answer:1.cone shaped
2.Thoraxic cavity
3.14cm long
4.9cm wide
5.Mediastinum
Explanation:
Heart is located in the thoraxic cavity just between the lungs. It has a cone shape about 14cm long,9cm wide an about 6cm thickness. A female heart is about 250-300gram and a male heart is 300-350gram,the heart has 4 chamber, 2 chamber above and 2 chamber below its include the auricle and ventricle. The hearts is responsible for circulation of blood and nutrients round the body system.
Answer:
The overall strategy employed in the catabolism of the carbon skeletons of the 20 amino acids is conversion to citric acid intermediates such as acetyl-CoA
Explanation:
The breakdown of the different carbon skeletons of the 20 amino acids is strategically channelled towards the citric acid cycle. Six major products are obtained in the catabolism of the carbon chain of amino acids and these products all enter the citrc acid cycle. The six major products are acetyl-CoA, α-ketoglutarate, succinyl-CoA, fumarate, oxaloacetate and pyruvate.
The amino acids that are broken down completely into acetoacetyl-CoA and/or acetyl-CoA are said to be ketogenic since they yield ketone bodies in the liver.
The amino acids that are broken down into α-ketoglutarate, succinyl-CoA, fumarate, oxaloacetate and pyruvate can be converted to glucose and glycogen and are said to be glucogenic. Pyruvate can further be converted to either acetyl-CoA or oxaloacetate. Some amino acids though are both ketogenic and glucogenic, e.g. tryptophan, threonine.
The lining of the heart is the pericardium.
