TLC
Tidal Volume
The volume of air breathed in and out without conscious effort. 500mL
TLC
Inspiratory Reserve Volume
The additional volume of air that can be inhaled with maximum effort after normal inspiration. 3,100mL
TLC
Expiratory Reserve Volume
The additional volume of air that can be forcibly exhaled after normal exhalation 1,200 mL
TLC
Vital Capacity
The total volume of air that can be exhaled after maximum inhalation. 4,800 mL
TLC
Residual Volume
The volume of air that remains in the lungs after maximum exhalation. Under normal conditions, the lungs are never completely emptied.
TLC
Total Lung Capacity
Total volume of the lungs; sum of the vital capacity and the residual volume
TLC
Forced Expiratory Volume
The maximum amount of air that can forcefully be exhaled in one second
EKG
Heart Conduction System
SA node, atria, AV node, Bundle of His, Purkinje fibers, ventricles
PQRST
P
The atria depolarizes and contracts
PQRST
Q
The amount of time it takes for the signal to travel from the SA node to the AV node
PQRST
R
Ventricles depolarize and prepare to contract, atria repolarize at the same time
PQRST
S
When the ventricles contract
PQRST
T
When ventricles repolarize
EKG
Arrhythmia
A problem with the rate of rhythm of your heartbeat
EKG
Tachycardia
Faulty signaling that signals the heart to beat too fast
EKG
Bradycardia
Faulty signaling that signals the heart to beat too slow or unpredictably
EKG
Myocardial infarction
An area of cardiac tissue that has died
Lymphatic and Immune system
Prions
Any the various infectious proteins that are abnormal forms of normal cellular proteins. Prions proliferate by inducing normal proetins to convery to the abnormal form that causes disease, such as mad cow disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, and kuru
Lymphatic and immune system
Viruses
Any of a large group of nonliving, submicroscopic infective agents that typically comprise an RNA or DNA core of genetic material surrounded by a protein coat. Viruses are not cellular and require a host in which to replicate. They cause various important diseases in all forms of life.
Lymphatic and immune system
Bacteria
A single-celled, prokaryotic microorganism
Lymphatic and immune system
Protists
Any eukaryotic protist at the phylum or subkingdom Protozoa
Lymphatic and immune system
Fungi
Saprophytic and parasitic spore-producing eukaryotic organisms that lack chlorophyll, such as molds, rusts, mildeew, smuts, mushrooms, and yeasts
Lymphatic and immune system
Helminths
A large, eukaryotic, multicellular, parasitic worm, such as a tapeworm, liverfluke, a scarid, or leech
Lymphatic and immune system
Pathogen
A disease-causing organism
Lymphatic and immune system
Mucus
A secretion from mucus membranes; covers cells that line the respiratory and digestive systems and help trap pathogens that enter the body
Lymphatic and immune system
Epidermis
The top layer of the skin that provides a barrier, makes new skin, and provides skin color
Lymphatic and immune system
Dermis
The middle layer of skin that contains collagen and elastin, grows hair, makes oil and sweat, and contains blood vessels and nerve endings
Lymphatic and immune system
Sepsis
The body’s immune system overreacts to an infection causing inflammation
Lymphatic and immune system
Severe Sepsis
Organs in the body begin to malfunction, body pressure is low, and inflammation continues
Lymphatic and immune system
Septic Shock
Extremely low blood pressure that does not respond to IV fluids
Lymphatic and immune system
Lymph nodes
Any of the rounded massese of lyphoid tissue that are surrounded by a capsule of connective tissue, are distributed along the lymphatic vessels, and contain numberous lymphatocytes which filter the flow of lymph passing through the noses.
Eyes
Rods
Any of the long rod-shaped photosensitive receptors in the retina responsive to faint light
Eyes
Cones
Any of the conical photosensitive receptor cells of the vertebrae retina that function in color vision
Eyes
Optician
Fits a patient for eyeglasses or contact lenses
Eyes
Ophthalmologist
Examines eyes and diagnoses and treats eye conditions; can provide medical treatments and surgical procedures
Eyes
Optometrist
Examines eyes and diagnoses and treats eye conditions
Eyes
Conjunctivitis
pink eye; inflammation of the conjunctiva from infection or allergies. Caused by an infected eye or allergies
Eyes
Loiasis
African eye worm; passed on by deerfly bites. Caused by parasitic worm Loa Loa
Eyes
Onchocerciasis
eye and skin disease; passed on by infected Simulium black fly bites. Caused by parasitic worm, Onchocerca volvulus.
Eyes
Trachoma
Disease of the eye that causes vision loss. Caused by Chlamydia trachomatis
Eyes
Traumatic Iridodialysis
Traumatic seperation between the iris root and the ciliary body. Caused by blunt force trauma to the eye/penetrating eye injuries
