Peristalsis is a series of wave-like muscle contractions that moves food to different processing stations in the digestive tract. The process of peristalsis begins in the esophagus when a bolus of food is swallowed. The strong wave-like motions of the smooth muscle in the esophagus carry the food to the stomach, where it is churned into a liquid mixture called chyme.

A health care provider orders tests to determine if a client has systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Which test result helps to
Sever21 [200]

Answer: An above-normal anti-deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) test

Explanation: Laboratory results specific for SLE include an above-normal anti-DNA test, a positive antinuclear antibody test, and a positive lupus erythematosus cell test. Because the anti-DNA test rarely is positive in other diseases, this test is important in diagnosing SLE. (The anti-DNA antibody level may be depressed in clients who are in remission from SLE.) Decreased total serum complement levels indicate active SLE

What happens if you take nitroglycerin and have no heart problems.
spayn [35]

Nitroglycerin is for people with angina, angina is almost a squeezing like chest pain that occurs when a part of your heart doesn't receive enough blood flow. Nitroglycerin is a Vasodilator it works by soothing and relaxing blood vessels so it's easier for blood to reach your heart, relieving some work your heart has to do.. furthermore relieving the chest pain..

if you do not have chest pain and take this medicine you can expect an abnormally fast heart rate in general. This can cause panic, weakness, dizziness, and flushing almost as if your heart was beating from working out, minus the working out part.

If you're overdosing on nitroglycerin and intake a dangerous amount you can expect headaches, confusion, blurry and/or double vision, vomiting, short or shallow breathing and cold or sweaty skin...

If you do not have angina or were directed by a medical professional to take nitroglycerin I suggest not taking it at all, any medicine can be dangerous without reason. If you have already taken some and are feeling anything abnormal please tell someone or seek help if needed.
