Regurgitation influences the flow of blood by mixing the oxygen-poor blood with the oxygen-rich blood. Due to this, the heart has to pump more to oxygenate the entire body, leading to the rapid, and fluttering heartbeat. The tissues get oxygenated but regurgitation could be fatal, as the heart cannot function overtime forever.
Valve prolapse influences the flow of blood when the flow of blood backs up. This leads to an irregular or racing heartbeat. Even at certain occasions, the blood can flow back to the lungs. However, there is not a huge influence in the oxygenation of the body tissues.
Stenosis makes the ventricles to pump overtime to get enough blood through, and in the process, the ventricles thicken. This functions for a while, however, it will result in heart failure as the heart cannot do it for entire life. The tissues are oxygenated, but it will be an issue due to overtime.
This would be a recessive disease.
Father is dd
Mother is Dd (has to be because one child has the disease)
Parents cross is dd x Dd which gives rise to Dd (0.5) and dd (0.5). Each time they have a child they have a 50% chance of the child having the disease. In their case, only one of their 3 children is dd. The others though are carriers!
In the science world today, both the natural regeneration and stem cell therapy can be used to generate new cells and both processes have thier advantages and disadvantages. The following are the advantages of natural regeneration over stem cell transplants:
1. Natural regeneration is cheaper compares to stem cell transplant.
2. The process of natural regeneration is safe and does not involve the fear of unknown, long time effects like that of stem cell transplant.
3. Naturally regenerated cells can not be rejected by the patient's body but a stem cell transplanted cell can be rejected by the patient's body.
