Interaction between nonallelic genes in which one gene will not be expressed in the presence of a second.
Diminished blood flow or circulation.
A condition in which fluid accumulates in part of the body because of poor circulation.
Accumulation of fluid or blood in a dependent part of the body, under the influence of gravity, in cases of poor circulation. Hypostatic congestion of the lung bases may be seen in debilitated patients who are confined to bed. It predisposes to pneumonia (hypostatic pneumonia) but may be prevented by careful nursing and physiotherapy. A similar condition affects the dependent parts of the body after death.
The term applied to the condition in which blood accumulates in a dependent part of the body as a result of poor circulation. Congestion, from this cause, of the base of the lungs in old people results in hypostatic pneumonia, as does infection.
A diminished blood flow or circulation.
Hypostasis refers to the accumulation of blood in the lowest parts of limbs or organs, a phenomenon driven by gravity. This condition typically arises due to inadequate blood circulation. Additionally, hypostasis can also occur post-mortem, when blood gravitates to the lowest areas of the body at the time of death.
The pooling of blood in the lower regions of the body or an organ right after death is a way for pathologists to determine if a body has been relocated post-mortem. For example, if a body was initially positioned on its back after death and blood pooled there, causing a congested look, but was later found face down, the bloodstains on the back would suggest the body had been shifted after death.
