Too much of a good thing is an adage that can apply to vitamins. The body needs vitamins to function properly‚ but high doses of certain vitamins can be toxic‚ especially fat soluble vitamins that the body stores for long periods of time. Water Soluble Vitamins Water-soluble vitamin toxicity is rare because the body does not store water-soluble vitamins and excess amounts are usually excreted in urine. Side effects associated with water-soluble vitamins occur due to intake of extremely high doses

Of course maintaining a perfect blood pressure of 120/80 is impossible with these fluctuations but keeping it somewhat healthy is vital. Hypertension can occur due to a number of different factors including age‚ lack of physical activity‚ alcohol‚ caffeine‚ smoking and stress‚ these are all over a long period of time. Fluctuations however are short term changes in blood pressure and can be

Implicated in this impairment as a direct consequence of the calcification are aortic stenosis (narrowing)‚ hypertension (high blood pressure)‚ congestive heart failure‚ cardiac hypertrophy (enlarged heart)‚ myocardial ischemia‚ and general compromised structural integrity of the heart. Arterial calcification consists mainly of apatite calcium salt precipitates

1. How does the heart change as it develops in a fetus? At first‚ the heart is just a tube. It grows so fast that it needs more space‚ so it bends and twists back‚ forming the familiar shape. During the next phase‚ the two atria are partly separate but there is just one big ventricle. The next phase begins when the two atria are completely separate and the ventricles are just beginning to separate. Finally‚ the ventricles separate completely and the heart is developed. 2. What is the largest vessel
