carbon, any aliphatic or aromatic radical, and a carboxyl group
Anaerobic Correct Answer-in the absence of free oxygen
Anascara Correct Answer-severe generalized edema
Anatomical Guide Correct Answer-a descriptive reference for locating
arteries and veins by means of anatomical structures that are known
Anatomical Limits Correct Answer-points of origin and points of
termination in relation to adjacent structures; used to designate the
boundaries of arteries
