During heavy exercise the build up of lactic acid in muscle cells results in what?
An oxygen debt.
How does nitroglycerin help heart patients?
Its a coronary vasodilator(widens vessels) for treatment of angina pectoris (usually a result of lack of oxygen to the heart muscle i.e. atherosclerosis where plaques form on the inner wall of the arteries restricting blood flow.
Which equation represents a process that results from lack of oxygen in human muscle cells?
glucose ---------> lactic acid + ATP
Compare myocardial infarction and angina pectoris?
Angina is chest pain due to ischemia (a lack of blood, thus a lack of oxygen supply and waste removal) of the heart muscle, generally due to obstruction or spasm of the coronary arteries (the heart's blood vessels). Myocardial Infarction is cellular death of the heart muscle due to lack of oxygen, often caused by blockage of arteries. Essentially angina proceeds a myocardial infarction, both are caused by low/no oxygen reaching some part of the heart
