testing has also led to the discovery of the polio vaccine which took the worldwide occurrence of polio from 350‚000 cases in 1988 to just 223 cases in 2012. In addition to these life-changing advancements‚ animal testing also provided us with pacemakers‚ cardiac valve substitutes‚ anesthetics‚ organ transplants‚ and the list goes

the banded appearance of cardiac and skeletal muscles. Cardiac Muscle. Found only in the heart‚ cardiac muscle is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body. Cardiac muscle tissue cannot be controlled consciously‚ so it is an involuntary muscle. While hormones and signals from the brain adjust the rate of contraction‚ cardiac muscle stimulates itself to contract. The natural pacemaker of the heart is made of cardiac muscle tissue that stimulates other cardiac muscle cells to contract.

Premium Heart Myocardial infarction Coronary circulation
Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) Coronary heart disease (CHD)‚ also known as ’ischemic heart disease’‚ is the most common form of heart disease. There are two major clinical forms – heart attack (often known as ’acute myocardial infarction’ or AMI) and angina. Coronary heart disease is the term that describes what happens when your heart’s blood supply is blocked or interrupted by a build-up of fatty substances in the coronary arteries. Over time‚ the walls of your arteries can become clogged

My company supplies the pacemakers with transistors that they use to build heart pacemakers. The pacemaker technology is in its infancy and the maker is having different type of problems which resulted in many incidents. The incidents were caused by doctors that don’t know how to install the pacemaker because they lack the appropriate training. Also‚ the Quality assurance phase is very weak at the production level because the engineers are not testing the hardware rigorously. As a result‚ my company
