#Aortic stenosis/regurgitation
#Mitral stenosis/regurgitation -
Answer✅
*Mitral valve stenosis* occurs when the mitral valve in the heart narrows, restricting blood
flow into the main pumping chamber. The mitral valve may also leak, causing *blood to flow
back through the valve each time the left ventricle contracts*. This condition is called mitral
valve regurgitation.
*Backflow of blood* is caused by failure of the heart's mitral valve to close tightly.
*Mitral valve regurgitation* is a condition in which the heart's mitral valve does not close
tightly, which allows *blood to flow backward in the heart*.

Acid Base Balance - lung and kidney compensation -
Answer✅
The kidneys have two main ways to maintain acid-base balance - their cells reabsorb
bicarbonate HCO3− from the urine back to the blood and they secrete hydrogen H+ ions
into the urine.
By adjusting the amounts reabsorbed and secreted, they balance the bloodstream's pH.

Aortic regurgitation -

Aortic valve regurgitation — or aortic regurgitation — is a condition that occurs when your
heart's aortic valve doesn't close tightly. As a result, some of the blood pumped out of your
heart's main pumping chamber (left ventricle) leaks backward.

Aortic stenosis -
Answer✅
Aortic stenosis is one of the most common and serious valve disease problems. Aortic
stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve opening.
Aortic stenosis restricts the blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta and may also
affect the pressure in the left atrium.
