| ARTICLES RELATED TO arteries | | | |  arteries: Encyclopedia II - Bat - ClassificationThough sometimes called "flying rodents" or "flying mice," these terms are erroneous, as bats are neither mice nor rodents.
There are two suborders of bats:
Megachiroptera (megabats or fruit bats)
Microchiroptera (microbats, echolocating bats or insectivorous bats)
Megabats eat fruit, nectar or pollen while microbats eat insects, blood (small quantities of blood of animals), small mammals, and fish, relying on echoloc ...

| | | | | arteries: Encyclopedia II - Cerebral hemorrhage - Risk factors Like ischemic stroke, risk factors for hemorrhagic stroke include inflammation of the heart, hypertension, and arteritis (Weibers 2001). Atherosclerosis, the main risk factor for ischemic stroke (Cicala 1999), also causes heart disease and arterial rupture, so the presence of arterial fatty deposits is a major risk factor for hemorrhagic stroke as well. Factors that pose a risk for hemorrhagic stroke and not ischemic stroke include anticoagulant or thrombolytic therapy, bleeding disorders like hemophilia and thrombocytopenic purpura, ...

Cardiology diagnostic tests and procedures - Coronary catheterization.
Coronary catheterization uses pressure monitoring and blood sampling through a catheter inserted into the heart through blood vessels in the leg to determine the functioning of the heart, and, following injections of radiocontrast dye, uses X-ray fluoroscopy, typically at 30 frame/s, to visualize the position and size of blood of within the heart chambers and arteries. Coronary angiography is used to determine the patency and configuration of the coronary artery lumens.

Eye examination - External examination.
External examination of eyes consists of inspection of the eyelids, surrounding tissues and palpebral fissure. Palpation of the orbital rim may also be desirable, depending on the presenting signs and symptoms. The conjunctiva and sclera can be inspected by having the individual look up, and shining a light while retracting the upper or lower eyelid. The cornea and iris may be similarly inspected.

| | | | | arteries: Encyclopedia II - Atherosclerosis - Atherogenesis Atherogenesis is the developmental process of atheromatous plaques. It is characterized by a remodeling of arteries involving an accumulation of macrophage cells forming atheroma or atheromatous plaques, which contain an excess of fatty cellular membranes within the arterial wall. The plaques are always located between the intima lining and muscular portion of the artery wall, typically without producing any narrowing, stenosis, of the artery opening, called the lumen.

| | | | | arteries: Encyclopedia II - Weapon - History The weapon is any tool or object that is used to increase the range and power of a human hand. From the earliest traces of mankind up to our modern civilization, weapons have been a facet of human development. Weapons development has accelerated along with other areas of technology in more modern times. In ancient times, from the dawn of humanity through the Classical civilizations of Greece and Rome, weapons were primarily extensions of an individual's strength, essentially making up for the human body's lack of natural weapons such as claws. These weapons allowed the bearer to be substantially more lethal than a si ...

| | | | | | arteries: Encyclopedia II - Penis - The human penis The human penis differs from those of some other mammals. It has no baculum, or erectile bone; instead it relies entirely on engorgement with blood to reach its erect state. It cannot be withdrawn into the groin, and is larger than average in proportion to body mass.
Penis - Structure.
The human penis is made up of three columns of erectile tissue:
the two corpora cavernosa (singular: corpus cavernosum) ...

General Grievous - Transformation into a Cyborg.
General Grievous was originally a warlord on his native planet Kalee. The Kaleesh had conquered the land and seas of their planet, and displayed pride in their superiority by wearing masks cobbled from the bones of their most feared animals, the mumuu and the karabbac. Warrior families would hand down these bone masks from generation to generation, adorning it with fresh blood prior to every hunt or campaign. Grievous wore such a mask in his battle against the hate ...

The most dramatic demonstrations of potential HDL efficacy to reverse atherosclerosis has been with the rare Apo-A1 Milano human genetic variant of the HDL protein.

| | | | | arteries: Encyclopedia II - Penis - Non-human penises Most marsupials, except for the two largest species of kangaroos, have a bifurcated penis. That is, it separates into two columns, and so the penis has two ends. The barnacle has the longest penis for its own length: up to twenty times the length of the animal. Urban legend alleges that the dolphin has prehensile control over his penis. In the realm of absolute size, the smallest penis belongs to the common shrew (5 mm or 0.2 inches). The largest penis belongs to the blue whale estimated at over 2 m (about 6 feet). Accurate measurements are difficult to take because the whale's erect ...

| | | | | | arteries: Encyclopedia II - Siphon - History It is tolerably certain that Ctesibius was the discoverer of the principle of the siphon[9]. His student, Hero of Alexandria, wrote extensively about siphons in the treatise, Pneumatica[10]. Even before the Greeks, Egyptian reliefs from 1500 B.C. depict siphons used to extract liquids from large storage jars[11].
The siphon was first used as a weapon by the Byzantine Navy, and the most common method of deployment was to emit Greek fire, a formula of burning oil, through a large bronze tube onto enemy ships. Usually the mixture ...

It is used as a medicine for angina pectoris (ischaemic heart disease) in tablets, ointment, solution for intravenous use, transdermal patches (Transderm Nitro®, Nitro-Dur®), or sprays administered under the tongue (Nitrolingual Pump Spray®). A recent medical development will include a small amount of nitroglycerin in the ...

The systems commonly in use are either based on the anatomy of the dissection or the duration of onset of symptoms prior to presentation.
Aortic dissection - DeBakey classification system.
The DeBakey system is an anatomical description of the aortic dissection. It categorizes the dissection based on where the original intimal tear is located and the extent of the dissection (localized to either the ascending aorta or d ...

The specialized, computerized IVUS echocardiographic recording and display equipment generally costs over $200,000, US, 2004. The specialized, one-time-use catheters, used to do each examination, typically cost ~$1,500-2,000, US, 2004. Additionally, IVUS adds significant additional examination time and some increased risk to the patient beyond performing only an angiography examination ...
