blood at the level of the heart or arteries. One common example is (VSD) ventricular septal defect. This defect is usually located in the left or right ventricle by the appearance of a hole. Other lesions are pulmonary stenosis‚ which reduces blood flow to the lungs as well as tetralogy of fallots‚ a condition that involves the "tetralogy" of the following four elements (enlargement of the right ventricle‚ narrowing of the pulmonic valve aligning the displaced aorta

polypeptides. Hydrochloric acids break the food down further and kills all the bacteria. The stomach then churns everything together (food‚ gastric juices and hydrochloric acid) into a squishy mush; this process is called chyme. A ring of muscle – the pyloric sphincter opens to let the food past into the duodenum which is the first part of the small intestine. Protease and amylase enzymes again break down the food until the nutrients are small enough to pass through the villi through which they enter

echo can also evaluate how well a prosthetic valve is functioning. An echo can detect the three main problems that affect heart valves: • Stenosis is a narrowing of the valve‚ resulting in an insufficient quantity of blood getting through your valve or an increase in the pressure needed to get blood through the valve. An echo can detect valvular stenosis and assess its severity by: o Showing restricted valve movement. o Measuring the narrowing in the valve opening.

Skeletal dysplasias are a group of disorders characterized by abnormalities in the growth and remodeling of cartilage and bone. These dysplasias affect the skull‚ spine‚ and extremities. Achondroplasia is the most common type of skeletal dysplasia. It is a genetic condition that results in abnormally short stature with disproportionately short limbs. It occurs in about 1 in every 15‚000 to one in 40‚000 births. In approximate 80% of the cases‚ it is caused by a spontaneous mutation to the FGFR3 gene
