-
ANS-2
methods
used
in
performing
a
gross
exam
of
a
brain
during
an
autopsy
alleles
-
ANS-the
2
versions
of
each
gene
we
inherit,
one
from
mom
&
one
from
dad
anaphase
-
ANS-the
chromatids
are
pulled
apart
by
the
spindle
fibers
and
are
moved
to
opposite
sides
of
the
cell.
angina
-
ANS--
chest
pain
or
discomfort
due
to
reduced
blood
flow
to
the
heart
-
primary
symptom
of
coronary
artery
disease.
-coronary
artery
disease
is
a
cardiovascular
condition
in
which
atherosclerosis
(the
buildup
of
plaque
in
artery
walls)
occurs
in
the
arteries
that
supply
the
heart
(coronary
arteries)
aorta
-
ANS-the
largest
artery
in
the
human
body.
carries
blood
with
oxygen
to
whole
body.
aortic
valve
-
ANS-between
LV
and
aorta
aortic
valve
stenosis
-
ANS--
heart
condition
that
occurs
when
the
aortic
valve
narrows,
partially
obstructing
blood
flow
across
the
valve
-
AS
is
often
caused
by
calcification
of
the
aortic
valve
as
one
ages,
which
stiffens
the
valve
and
narrows
the
valve
opening
-
AS
may
not
experience
any
symptoms,
as
AS
typically
develops
over
many
years.
However,
in
patients
with
advanced
AS,
chest
pain,
dizziness
and
fainting
during
exercise,
and
congestive
heart
failure
are
common
symptoms
arteries
-
ANS-carry
blood
away
from
the
heart
atherosclerosis
-
ANS--
a
cardiovascular
disease
characterized
by
the
gradual
buildup
of
plaque
in
artery
walls
-
results
from
damage
to
the
inner
artery
wall.
This
damage
causes
artery
stiffness
and
the
development
of
fatty
deposits
(plaque)
-
plaque
may
grow
in
size
until
it
completely
blocks
an
artery,
which
is
called
total
occlusion.
when
total
occlusion
occurs
in
vessels
that
supply
the
heart
or
brain,
a
heart
attack
or
stroke
may
occur
atria
-
ANS-receive
blood
as
it
enters
the
heart
"receiving
halls"
atrioventricular
valves
-
ANS-separates
the
atriums
and
ventricles autosomal
dominant
-
ANS-one
mutated
allele
is
sufficient
to
cause
symptoms
in
the
individual.
the
mutated
allele
is
considered
dominant,
because
the
disease
trait(s)
are
experienced
with
one
dysfunctional
allele.
autosomal
recessive
-
ANS-two
mutated
alleles
are
required
for
the
individual
to
experience
disease
symptoms.
If
a
patient
inherits
only
one
mutated
allele,
the
other
dominant
allele
compensates,
and
the
individual
does
not
experience
symptoms.
bacteria
-
ANS-single
celled
microscopic
animals,
some
of
which
act
as
parasites
in
humans.
bacterial
endocarditis
-
ANS--
an
infection
caused
by
bacteria
that
has
entered
the
bloodstream
-
the
bacteria
settles
either
in
the
lining
of
the
heart,
in
a
heart
valve,
or
a
blood
vessel
-
this
causes
the
endocardium
to
become
inflamed,
which
damages
the
heart
valves
Basic
Metabolic
Panel
(BMP)
-
ANS-A
blood
test
that
measures
your
sugar
(glucose)
level,
electrolyte
and
fluid
balance,
and
kidney
function.
Glucose
is
a
type
of
sugar
your
body
uses
for
energy.
Electrolytes
keep
your
body's
fluids
in
balance.
It
checks
the
status
of
your
metabolism
that
monitors
specific
substances
in
the
blood
and
provides
information
about
these
reactions.
Abnormal
metabolic
panel
results
may
indicate
diabetes,
problems
with
the
kidneys,
or
other
issues
with
hormones.
Hormones
are
chemical
signals
that
help
communicate
information
inside
your
body.
bempedoic
acid
-
ANS-is
a
non-statin
treatment
to
lower
LDL-cholesterol
in
individuals
with
familial
hypercholesterolemia
or
established
cardiovascular
disease
who
require
additional
LDL-C
lowering
even
after
maximally
tolerated
statin
treatment.
benign
-
ANS-abnormal
growth
of
cells,
but
in
a
capsule,
slow
growing,
non
cancerous,
won't
metastasize,
cells
are
normal
bile
acid
sequestrants
-
ANS-this
medication
also
works
in
the
intestine
by
binding
bile.
since
bile
is
composed,
in
large
part,
of
cholesterol,
these
medications
lead
to
loss
of
cholesterol
in
the
stool
biopsying
-
ANS-a
doctor
or
person
who
removes
cells
and
tissues
biscupid
(mitral)
valve
-
ANS-between
LA
and
LV
blood
is
made
up
of
4
different
bases
which
can
create
a
variety.
since
genomes
are
genes,
genes
are
responsible
for
determining
the
cell
structure
and
function
by
directing
synthesis
of
proteins
and
coding
RNA
molecules.
-
ANS-how
does
a
single
genome
code
for
so
many
types
of
tissues?
body
mass
index
-
ANS-to
calculate
body
mass
index
(ratio
of
height
to
weight)
