Abstract: Atherosclerosis is one of the important cardiovascular disease‚ which often leads to narrowed arteries that obstruct the flow of oxygenated blood which may limit the oxygen delivery to the heart muscle and can lead to a heart attack. The blood flow through these narrow arteries is often restored by inserting folding structures‚ named Stent. A Stent is small expandable mesh-tube like device that is used to treat narrow arteries and allow the passage of oxygenated blood to heart. The aim

blood flow and prevent arteries from bursting. Valve Replacement If one or more of the valves in your heart is diseased or damaged‚ it can affect he way your blood flows through your heart by obstructing the flow of blood. This is called valve stenosis or narrowing. It also may allow blood to leak backwards. This is called valve regurgitation‚ on a leaky valve. Valve replacement is when the diseased valve is replaced with a new one. The most common types of replacement valves are mechanical (artificial)

What Are Apocrine Glands? Apocrine glands are located in the skin‚ breasts‚ eyelids‚ and ears. They are a type of exocrine gland‚ which are glands that secrete hormones into a duct. Counterparts of exocrine glands are endocrine glands that secrete their hormones directly into the bloodstream. Certain endocrine glands also release hormones called pancrines that affect only specifically targeted cells very close to where they are released. Examples of endocrine glands are the pituitary gland‚ pancreas
