What is the difference between primary and secondary teeth, and how do they play different roles in oral health?

Primary teeth, also known as baby teeth, are the first set of teeth that children develop and eventually lose. They are smaller in size and serve as placeholders for the permanent teeth. Secondary teeth, or permanent teeth, are larger and meant to last a lifetime. Primary teeth help with chewing, speaking, and maintaining proper alignment for the permanent teeth. Secondary teeth are essential for proper chewing, speaking, and maintaining overall oral health.

Hydrogen bonds between different parts of the polypeptide chain result in which level of protein structure?

What is the difference between pulmonary hypertension and regular hypertension?

Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure exerted by circulating blood upon the walls of blood vessel, and is one of the principal vital signs. Arterial hypertension or hypertension or high BP can be an indicator of other problems and may have long-term adverse effects. Sometimes it can be an acute problem, for example hypertensive emergency. Types of hypertension usually are primary and secondary, in that alcohol induced, medication induced, pregnancy induced, isolated systolic, isolated diastolic, white coat hypertension (BP due to stress) and malignant hypertension or hypertension emergency are present. In medicine, pulmonary hypertension (PH or PHT) is an increase in blood pressure in the pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein, or pulmonary capillaries, together known as the lung vasculature, leading to SOB, dizziness, fainting, and other symptoms, all of which are exacerbated by exertion. Pulmonary hypertension can be a severe disease with a markedly decreased exercise tolerance and heart failure. So both are different terms.
