Joseph's Story Case Study Answers
Joseph’s Story
A. Risk Factors:
Family history of vascular disease
Weight gain
Working long hours
Stressed at work
Not sleeping well
Started to smoke cigarettes again
Eating fatty foods
Putting all his risk factors together can stress out the heart and circulation of blood vessels that help maintain a homeostasis of the body. When the body cannot produce or reproduce cells that help keeps the body in order they fight other cells which deteriorate and die when they cannot the reproduce vitamins or oxygen they need to survive.
B. When his heart struggle to work with the life giving blood slowed along with the oxygen, glucose and essentials ions it carried to pump the heart, each cell continues working and rapidly using it ATP supply, so when the carbon dioxide level cells rise inside the cell the PH drops and the mitochondria no longer has enough oxygen to make ATP energy which allows the cells to begin to die. The cells become leaky, sodium slowly

All intracellular organelles have membranes some may even have two membranes as part of their structure.
The breakdown of the membranes affects Joseph’s heart cell because the ATPases has stopped moving the special calcium from the cytosol in to his cardiac muscle cells. As the intracellular calcium level rose they caused the proteasomes start to leak out of the cell and into the cytoskeleton.
D. With his predisposition of vascular disease the mitochondria, DNA and mRNA can self replicate (duplicate) itself with help of DNA to repair itself.
E. Oxygen, energy and nutrients that is required to produce ATP, affected the function of his cells to change because the cells continued to work which made it rapidly use its ATP supply, multiple cellular processing can affect the homeostasis of the body to shut down.
F. Reestablishing oxygen to the body requires the cells to produce ATP to the body. Without this process his equilibrium and PH balance are all keys to keep his homeostasis of his individual

    C. Which intracellular organelles have membranes as part of their structure? All intracellular organelles have membranes as part of their structure except ribosomes. How would the breakdown of the membranes of these structures affect the function of Joseph’s heart cells? The breakdown of the membranes of these structures affect the heart’s function by causing calcium ATPase to cease moving calcium from the cytosol into the endoplasmic reticulum of Joseph’s cardiac muscle cells. The rise of calcium levels causes proteases to spill into the cell which attacks the cytoskeleton.…

    Oxygen and blood glucose are essential ions that are necessary for the pumping of the heart. Their delivery to the heart will slow down. Carbon dioxide levels will increase -- this causes the Ph levels to drop. Mitochondria will no longer have oxygen and glocose, which is needed to make ATP. This causes cells to die.…

    As mammals our aerobic metabolic system requires oxygen for us to sustain life. The organ that transports oxygen from the environment into the body where it is needed, are the lungs. Oxygen is transported through cellular respiration from the lungs to tissues and organs. Between 2,100 to 2,400 gallons of air is breathed to fuel 2,400 gallons of blood that is pumped into the heart. Respiration is controlled by the medulla oblongata, which deals with the autonomic function of breathing. This characteristic allows one to breathe without having to think about the process but can also be overridden and controlled in certain situations. As a result of respiration, carbon dioxide is produced where it is removed for oxygen to be restored. The purpose…
