A

When the foramen ovale does not properly close, blood is abnormally shunted between the R and L atria

137
Q

What is the difference between chronic and acute leukemia?

A

Chronic leukemia cells do not mature all the way, so they are not as capable of defending against infections as normal lymphocytes.
