Sarah Seddon October 29‚ 2012 SBI-3U Mrs. Varga Wilson’s Disease Wilson’s disease is a rare genetic disorder that prevents an individual from excreting excess copper from their body‚ eventually leading to toxic levels of copper. The chromosomes affected in this disorder are the pair of the thirteenth chromosomes‚ specifically the ATP7B gene which is located in the long arm of each chromosome thirteen and contains the DNA needed to make copper regulating proteins. A point or frame-shift DNA

was detected via whole-genome sequencing on the patient with TAAD family history who was experiencing TAAD symptoms. A missense substitution was found at position 893 in the DNA sequence‚ causing the thymine replaced by guanine‚ resulting in the replacement of methionine by arginine at the position 298. LOX is a copper-dependent enzyme that cross-links the two structural proteins‚ collagen and elastin‚ on the blood vessel membrane. Methionine is the amino acid that is essential for blood vessels growing

The cardiovascular system consists of : heart (심장)‚ and vessels (혈관)‚ arteries (동맥)‚ capillaries (모세혈관) and veins (정맥). A functional cardiovascular system is vital (필수적인) for supplying oxygen and nutrients to tissues and removing wastes from them. Paths of Circulation: Pulmonary(폐의) Circuit : carrying blood to the lungs and back 1. The pulmonary circuit is made up of vessels that convey blood from the right ventricle to the pulmonary arteries to the lungs‚ alveolar capillaries‚ and pulmonary veins

Epidemiology in the Elderly with Heart Disease Epidemiology in the Elderly with Heart Disease Public health promotes healthy living for each community through epidemiology. Disease prevention and control is the common goal of epidemiology‚ nursing practice‚ and public health. “Epidemiology is the study of the population in order to monitor the health of the population‚ understand the determinants of health and disease in the community‚ and investigate and evaluate interventions

by the relative pressure differences between the semi-lunar valves and the high pressure level that was generated in the ventricles. This is when both the ventricles contract to deliver the blood into the pulmonary and systemic circulation by the shortening of muscle cells. After a duration of about 150 msec when ventricle contraction reaches a peak the ventricular pressure starts decreasing quickly. During this time the semi-lunar valves are shut due to blood from the aorta and pulmonary trunk flowing

the Tricuspid Valve and into the right Ventricle. While in her he currently has no oxygen in his biconcave dome so he needs to go and get some. He goes through the Pulmonary Valve and up and out of the Pulmonary Artery. From here he travels to the lungs through capillaries‚ where the oxygen then diffuses with the blood in the Alveolus. He then travels back to the Heart and enters it through the Pulmonary Vein and goes into the left Atrium. He goes through the Milral valve and into the left

the heart fills with blood. Systole Phase - the ventricles contract and pump blood to the arteries. Heart Anatomy: Valves Heart valves are flap-like structures that allow blood to flow in one direction. Below are the four valves of the heart: Aortic Valve - prevents the back flow of blood as it is pumped from the left ventricle to the aorta. Mitral Valve - prevents
