One of the major sources of nonvolatile acid in the body is this
What is H2SO4 (sulfuric acid)
The most common of human color vision defects involves red and green color perception and has been known since 1911 to be inherited in this fashion
What is X-linked recessive

What are chaperones
In patients with this, aortic pressure may fall to zero between heartbeats, and there is no incisura in the aoritc pulse contour
What is aortic regurgitation
These are essentially tubes of endothelium that, unlike the typical blood capillary, lack a continuous basal lamina.
What are Lymphatic capillaries
Buffers consist of these two components.
What is a weak acid and its conjugate base.

What is adaptation?
In cardiac muscle, action potentials are caused by opening of these three types of channels

The pericardial cavity lies between these two layers
What are the visceral and parietal layers of serous pericardium?
This disorder or condition has complex effects on the respiratory center and basic metabolism, causing alterations in acid/base management, among other effects, and leads to impaired renal function.

What are the S-A and A-V nodes
These stresses increase synthesis of a potent eNOS stimulator, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and trigger a variety of other molecular and physical changes in endothelial cell structure and function.
What is shear stress?
The Henderson–Hasselbalch equation for the bicarbonate buffer system is written as this
pH = pKa + log(HCO3-/H2CO3)
This sedative, historically used in pregnancy, became infamous for causing phocomelia, a severe limb reduction defect, when taken during early gestation.
What is thalidomide?
This pathway includes factors XII, XI, IX, VIII, X, V, II, and fibrinogen
What is the intrinsic pathway?
Reynolds’ number, the measure of the tendency for turbulence to occur, is calculated using this equation:
Re = (v x d x p)/η
Where v is the mean velocity of blood flow (in cm/sec), d is the vessel diameter (in centimeters), ρ is density (in grams/ml), and η is the viscosity (in poise).
