I feel like specifically electrical conductivity of the heart, meiosis maybe?? probably a little more on biological molecules, antibiotics and their resistance, non specific immune response, anaerobic respiration- most likely more on development, history and ethical implication of drugs, GMO's, thermoregulation, nothing on blood clotting has come up yet

nah an atheroma is the build up of cholesterol etc in the lining of the artery- endothelium that can rupture to cause thrombosis or atherosclerosis
