Introduction:
Metabolism can be defined as the sum of all the chemical processes occurring inside the body of an organism. These chemical processes are necessary for the organism to survive. The metabolic processes can be classified into anabolic and catabolic processes.
Explanation of Solution
The catabolic process which occurs within the heart is the 'fatty acid catabolism'. The degradation of the fatty acids involves the conversion of the aliphatic compounds into the acetyl units. These units are processes in the citric acid cycle.
The phospholipids and glycolipids are composed of the fatty acids as the structural unit. The heart produces energy from the fatty acid catabolism. The high energy demand of the heart is met through the fatty acid metabolism.
The fatty acid metabolism occurs in the heart. It provides the heart with the required energy.

- Hi, May I get help with this question for physiology? An explanation leading to the correct answer would be helpful! Scenario: You're taking a train from Istanbul to Zagreb, and there has been a murder! Fortunately, a world-class detective is on the train with you and the train's owner ask him take over the case. You are not a suspect, but you are an expert in human physiology. You examine the body for "rigor mortis" to estimate the time of death. Rigor mortis occurs because, at death, all the existing ATP is rapidly depleted and no new ATP is made. The lack of ATP prevents the cross-bridge cycle, and the muscles become extremely stiff. You explain all of this to the detective, Hercule P, but he's confused why the lack of ATP would make the body stiff rather than limp. After all, isn't the primary function of sarcomeres to build tension in muscles? You tell Hercule that the lack of ATP actually prevents:arrow_forwardConstruct statements using anatomical terms that would best describe the location of the following organs relative to the heart Example: The heart is inferior to the brain Sternum is _____ to the heart Lungs is ______ to the heart Pericardium is _______ to the heart Stomach is ______ to the heart Rib cage is _______ to the heartarrow_forwardAside from the ones already discussed about childbirth and blood pressure give another example of the feedback mechanism in the human body.Explain your answer briefly by filling out Table B.

You go to call for a cab and find that the phone is out of order. You begin to panic and decide to run to school. As soon as you open the door to your house, you awaken. You find yourself still in bed, drenched in sweat, with a pounding heart and a dry mouth.
