Carbohydrates are made of carbon with hydrogen and oxygen (in the same ratio as water) linked together. Fats are also made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. They are a powerful energy source, and are also used for insulation. Proteins are the building materials of the body, and as enzymes make cell reactions happen. They contain nitrogen as well as carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Many also contain sulphur and phosphorous.

Fatty acids are divided into two kinds: saturated and unsaturated fatty acids depending on how much hydrogen they contain.(Saturated fats contain more hydrogen than unsaturated fats). Fish and poultry fats and plant oils contain mostly unsaturated fatty acids and are more liquid at room temperature.

Each gamete is formed by meiosis. This means each contains only half the chromosomes of the body cells (haploid). Fertilization results in the joining of the male and female gametes to form a zygote which contains the full number of chromosomes (diploid).

Inflate the cuff rapidly (while palpating the radial or brachial pulse) to the level at which pulsations are no longer felt and inflate the cuff 30 mmHg above the palpated pressure or the patient’s usual blood pressure.

Before obtaining a blood pressure reading, it is important to inspect and consider conditions that would prevent the use of a blood pressure cuff, such as a history of clots or presence of current clots, lymphedema, wounds, a fistula, or current IV access lines.
