Summary Introduction
To determine:
Why nitroglycerin is prescribed for heart disease patient as in body it is converted into nitric oxide and why nitroglycerin increases blood flow rate and relieves chest pain.
Introduction:
Blood pressure is defined as the pressure of circulating blood in blood vessels. Contraction and relaxation of heart result in the maintenance of the blood pressure. As when heart contract the blood is flow into blood vessels and when it is relaxed blood comes back into the heart. It is measured as systolic over systolic pressure Systolic pressure means maximum pressure between one heart beat diastolic pressure means minimum pressure between two heart beats. It is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). When it is low is called hypotension while when it is high is called hypertension.

How long can you go? You may have heard the exploits of free divers, who dive to tremendous depths without any aid of scuba equipment. The world record for assisted free diving is held by Pipin Ferreras, who dove 170 m (558 ft) with the aid of a sled. Free diving is not without its dangers. Pipin’s wife Audrey died during a world record attempt.
Free diving is facilitated by the dive reflex, which allows mammals to hold their breath for long periods of time underwater. Immersing one’s face in cold water includes bradycardia and diverts blood away from the periphery.
How would these modifications increase the ability to free dive?

(Select all that apply] O OxyContin is an opioid painkiller introduced to the U.S. by Purdue in 1996 as a 12-hour timed-release dosage of oxycodone. O By crushing or dissolving the 12-hour pills, drug abusers could ingest the entire dose at one time, thus causing fatal overdoses, The Sackler-family-owned Purdue Pharma, maker of OxyContin, used unethical marketing practices. Such practices led Purdue to become the major contributor to the opiold crisis that caused the deaths of 400,000 individuals, CPurdue's aggressive marketing of OxyContin included visiting doctors, paying for their meals and travel, providing gifts, and funding pain treatment groups. M Purdue has earned in excess of $30 billion since OxyContin arrived on the market.
