Myocardial Infarction and Its Symptoms | Cardiovascular Disease

In myocardial infarction (MI) there is necrosis of cardiac muscle due to inadequate coronary circulation. Sudden death may occur when obstruction to coronary flow is precarious. Most deaths occurring within 24 hours of the onset of attack are due to ventricular fibrillation. Anatomy of Coronary Arteries: There are three main sources of coronary arterial blood supply: (1) The anterior descending [...]

Antigen-Antibody Reactions | Biomolecular Reactions | Immunology

Antigen (Ag) antibody (Ab) reactions occur when an antigen combines with a corresponding antibody to produce an immune complex. Therefore, an antigen-antibody reaction is thus a bimolecular association which is similar to an enzyme-substrate interaction but the only difference is that antigen-antibody reaction does not lead to an irreversible chemical interaction. The basis for antigen-antibody reactions are the non-covalent interactions [...]
