1. What are the hormones detected in the early stages of pregnancy that we measure for a pregnancy test. How long do they stay elevated? Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) or a beta subunit (β-hCG) of hCG are the hormones which are detected in early stages of pregnancy. β-hCG production can begin as early as the day of implantation and can be detected in as early as 7-10 days after conception. “The level of hCG increases until it peaks at about 60-70 days of gestation and then declines until…

The Coronary Arteries The main branches of the aorta are supply routes to the heart muscle itself. There are two fundamental coronary corridors: the left principle (LM) and right coronary veins (RCA). The left primary coronary supply route separates into two fundamental branches: the left foremost diving (LAD), which keeps running down the front of the heart, and the circumflex course (CX) which keeps running behind the heart. Branches of the LAD are called corner to corner conduits and…
