Document Summary
Risks = stroke, heart disease, blood clots, breast cancer. Bmi = [(weight in lbs) / ((height in inches) x (height in inches))] x 703. Basal body temperature rises after ovulation; stays elevated when estrogen and progesterone are high. Egg cannot come in contact with sperm, preventing fertilization. Kupffer cells are phagocytic macrophages that ingest old rbcs and other debris for breakdown. Surface covered in enamel (consists of 95-97% calcium salts/heavily mineralized) Cement = outermost surface covering; attaches to tooth via periodontal ligament. Dentin = composes bulk of tooth; bonelike material interior to the enamel and cement. Crown superior portion of tooth; visible above gum/gingiva (surrounds tooth) Pulp = connective tissue supplied with blood vessels/nerves/lymphatics in center of tooth. Odontoblasts = specialized cells in outer margins of pulp cavity; produce dentin. Stomach layers (outer to inner): serosa, muscularis, submucosa, mucosa. Cholesterol: a fat found in the plasma membrane of cells. < 200 mg/dl = desirable; lower risk for coronary heart disease.
