Anaerobic respiration can lead to a burning sensation caused by which molecule?

The left ventricle of the heart normally has the thickest wall, which is composed mainly of cardiac muscle tissue (myocardium). The left ventricle has to generate enough force to pump oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body through the systemic circulation, which requires greater muscular effort than the right ventricle, which pumps blood only to the lungs via the pulmonary circulation. The thickness of the left ventricular wall ensures that it can withstand the pressure required to generate this forceful contraction.

Eating large amounts of turnips and beets can lead to a condition called beeturia, which causes the urine and skin to turn a reddish or purplish color. This condition is harmless and is caused by the betalain pigments present in these vegetables. As a strict vegetarian, it is possible that the client consumes large amounts of these vegetables, which could explain the unusual skin color.

Rice and eggs, carrots and squash, spinach and mustard greens are not known to cause unusual skin color. However, it is important for the nurse to ask the client about her diet and any supplements she may be taking to beter understand the cause of the unusual skin color.
