inferior vesical artery - -goes to fundus of bladder
- corticobulbar tract of internal capsule - -composed of UMN of CNs, for
muscles of face, head, and neck all CNs except III, IV, VI
- inhaled anthrax - -shows up as mediastinal widening on CXR
- vaginosis and pH - -pH of greater than 4.5 is likely bacterial
- insultation installers - -susceptible to asbestos

a P wave or with an inverted P wave. Retrograde P waves refers to the
depolarization from the AV node back towards the SA node

- Balantidium coli - -In trophozoites, the two nuclei are visible. The
macronucleus is long and sausage-shaped, and the spherical micronucleus is
nested next to it, often hidden by the macronucleus. Balantidium is the only
ciliated protozoan known to infect humans. Balantidiasis is a zoonotic
disease and is acquired by humans via the feco-oral route from the normal
