What else can I help you with?
If cardiac muscle is deprived of its normal blood supply damage would primarily result from?
loss of oxygen.... the mitochondria in the cardiac muscle need it to continue to produce energy to keep the muscles contractiong without it the muscles seize from lactic acidosis a byproduct anaerobic respiration.
How does lack of oxygen lead to heart attack or stroke?
The myocard (cardiac muscle), the muscle that makes your heart pump, needs oxygen to function. This oxygen is distributed through the blood that flows in the coronary arteries, which lie around the cardiac muscle. When there is not enough oxygen in your blood, the cardiac muscle does not get enough oxygen to fully function and your heart will not be able to function, over time. This starts at about 3 minutes after stopping to get oxygen.
What builds up in human muscle cells that are deprived of oxygen?
lactic acid
What occurs when the heart muscle is deprived of oxygen?
When the heart muscle is deprived of oxygen, it can lead to a condition called ischemia, which can result in chest pain (angina) or a heart attack (myocardial infarction). This oxygen deprivation can be caused by blockages in the coronary arteries, leading to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle.
Cardiac muscle tissue is supplied with nutrients and oxygen by which part of the human transport system?
Cardiac muscle tissue is supplied with nutrients and oxygen by the coronary arteries, which branch off the aorta and supply blood to the heart muscle. These arteries ensure adequate delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the heart for proper function.
What do muscle cells produce when they are deprived of oxygen?
The muscles will produce lactic acid which feels like the muscles are burning.
Does cardiac muscle have more mitochondria and depend less on a continual supply of oxygen than does skeletal muscle?
no
What must the heart do when muscle cells are oxygen deprived?
When muscle cells are oxygen deprived, the heart must work harder to deliver enough oxygenated blood to the tissues. It may increase heart rate or contractility to compensate for the decreased oxygen supply. If oxygen deprivation persists, it can lead to tissue damage or even a heart attack.
How long can a cardiac muscle cell live?
30 to 50 hrs without oxygen
What is cardiac muscle?
Cardiac muscle is a type of highly oxidative (using molecular oxygen to generate energy) involuntary striated muscle found in the walls of the heart, specifically the myocardium. Cardiac muscle cells are known as cardiac myocytes. Cardiac muscle is one of three major types of muscle, the others being skeletal and smooth muscle. The cells that comprise cardiac muscle are sometimes seen as intermediate between these two other types in terms of appearance, structure, metabolism, excitation-coupling and mechanism of contraction. Cardiac muscle shares similarities with skeletal muscle with regard to its striated appearance and contraction, with both differing significantly from smooth muscle cells. Coordinated contraction of cardiac muscle cells in the heart propel blood from the atria and ventricles to the blood vessels of the circulatory system. Cardiac muscle cells, like all tissues in the body, rely on an ample blood supply to deliver oxygen and nutrients and to remove waste products such as carbon dioxide. The coronary arteries fulfill this function
When muscle cells are deprived of oxygen they produce?
The muscles will produce lactic acid which feels like the muscles are burning.
What vessels carry blood to the cardiac muscle?
It would be the Coronary arterie
