Answer:

baseline, endemic (possibly hyperendemic) are all references to a constant number of infections

Explanation:

<em>What term describes a </em><em>constant number of infections in a region?</em>

<em></em>

Now, there are a few terms we could use for this.

Sometimes, it may be referred to as a baseline (because that's the level its typically at--the "constant" number)

Baseline also can be called "endemic" (the constant presence)

The -endemic really just means persistent, so "hyperendemic" is a persistent high-level, which could be the baseline for that region

epidemic/cluster/outbreak/pandemic are all when we variate strongly from the baseline/expected number of infections

hope this helps! have a lovely day :)

<h3>What is venipuncture?</h3>

A process when blood is drawn from a vein using a needle, typically for laboratory examination. Venipuncture can also be used to treat some blood diseases by removing extra red blood cells from the blood.

The median cubital and cephalic veins are commonly used for venipuncture. The vein is punctured with a needle. The blood gathers into a tube or vial that is linked to the needle and is sealed. You take off the elastic band from your arm. After removing the needle, the area is bandaged to halt the bleeding. Pressure should be applied to a venipuncture site for at least 5 minutes.

Furkat [3]

Mitral regurgitation is a leakage of blood that flows backward via the mitral valve during contraction of the left ventricle which results in systolic murmur.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mitral valve is seen between the left atrium and left ventricle,it prevents the back flow of blood during left ventricular contraction. In case of mitral valve regurgitation or stenosis condition it results in back flow of blood to left atrium it further results in increased blood pressure in left atrium and fluid buildup in lungs and leads to systolic murmur. During cardiac cycle systole occurs when heart contracts and diastole occurs when heart relaxes.
