For the similar condition, where the eyes deviate inward (rather than outward), see esotropia. Exotropia (from Greek ÎµÎ¾Î¿ÏÏá½ÏÎ¹Î±, ÎµÎ¾Î¿ exo meaning to exit or move out of and ÏÏá½ÏÎµÎ¹Î½ tropein meaning to turn), also referred to as divergent squint, is a form of strabismus where the eyes are deviated outward. It is the opposite of esotropia.
Anabolism (from Greek: á¼Î½Î¬, upward and Î²Î¬Î»Î»ÎµÎ¹Î½, to throw) is the set of metabolic pathways that construct molecules from smaller units. These reactions require energy, known also as an endergonic process.
Embolism is a clinical condition where a small particle from a blood clot, fat, air, amniotic fluid, or placental tissue from a different site comes and blocks an artery. In patients who are bed-ridden or immobilized, blood clots may form in the deep veins of legs. This is called deep vein thrombosis.
