What's the difference between carotid and carotin?
Carotid
Definition:
(n.) One of the two main arteries of the neck, by which blood is conveyed from the aorta to the head. [See Illust. of Aorta.]
(a.) Alt. of Carotidal

(13) These results clearly show the value of cardiac and neurologic surveillance of patients operated on for carotid artery stenosis.
(14) Thus, the carotid pulse tracing provides an accurate reproduction of the morphology of the pressure tracing recorded from the ascending aorta, and when calibrated by peripheral blood pressure measurement, it can be used to calculate LV pressure throughout ejection.
(15) Carotid nerves block provoked transient ventilatory depression, decreasing VT by 46% and fR by 26%, followed by recovery to steady-state values in VT, fR and PETCO2.

(18) An in vitro, eccentric arterial stenosis model was created using 15 canine carotid arteries cannulated with silicone plugs containing special pressure-transducing catheters designed to measure pressure directly, within the stenosis.
(19) We conclude that antiplatelet therapy does not increase the incidence of carotid plaque hemorrhage.
(20) Neuroradiological examination revealed a large aneurysm at the C1 portion of the right internal carotid artery.
Carotin
Definition:
(n.) A red crystallizable tasteless substance, extracted from the carrot.
Example Sentences:
(1) After 24 days, the serum zinc level for depletion animals was 80% lower than the level for the two control groups, although the vitamin A, beta-carotine and tocopherol concentrations in deficiency animals and in pair-fed control animals did not differ significantly from one another.
(2) Moreover, the outlines of lipid droplets, mitochondria, starch grains, and carotin pigment crystals are visible within the parietal cytoplasmic layer.
(3) In comparison with adlibitum-fed control rats, however, vitamin A and beta-carotine concentrations in depletion and pair-fed animals were elevated.
(4) The mechanism suggested can be used when studying photoelectric processes in chlorophyll layers, in beta-carotin films for the search of means to increase the photopotential value in the films of photosynthetic pigments, when explaining the receptors adaptation property.
(5) During a holding time up to 5 hours at temperatures ranging from 60 degrees C to 80 degrees C, losses to varying degrees of vitamins C, B1, B2, niacin, retinol and beta-carotin occurred in nearly all meals.
(6) The concentration of beta-carotin in the plasma of calves after driving up to pasture increased slower than that of cows.
(7) The following neutralizing agents of free radicals were tried in the minimal medium: triethylenediamine, beta-carotin, potassium iodide, potassium bromide, 2-aminoethylisothio-uranium-bromide, 2-aminoethyl-isothio-uranium-bromide-hydrobromide and cysteamine.
(8) Two major carotenoids of the stick insect were reinvestigated and shown to be beta,beta-caroten-2-ol and beta,beta-carotene-2,2'-diol and not isocryptoxanthin (beta,beta-carotin-4-ol) and isozeaxaanthin (beta,beta-carotene-4,4'-diol).
