hernia
protrusion of an organ or the muscular wall of an organ through the cavity that normally contains it
hiatal hernia
stomach protrudes upward into the mediastinum through the esophageal opening in the diaphragm.
inguinal hernia
part of intestine protrudes downward into the groin region and commonly into the scrotal sac in the male.
cystocele
part of the urinary bladder herniates through the vaginal wall as a result of weakness of the pelvic muscles.
rectocele
protrusion of the rectum toward the vagina
omphalocele
herniation of the intestines through a weakness in the abdominal wall around the navel occurring in infants at birth.
amnion
sac that surrounds the embryo in the uterus
streptococcus
berry shaped bacterium, grows in twisted chains.
staphylococci
other berry shaped bacteria, grows in small clusters, like grapes.
abscess
collection of puss, white blood cells, and protein that is present at the site of infection.
MRSA
affects the skin, causing boils and abscesses.
diplococci
berry shaped bacteria organized in pairs
erythrocytes
red blood cells
hemoglobin
important protein in erythrocytes, carries the oxygen through the bloodstream
leukocytes
white blood cells
granulocytes
type of white blood cell, composed of eosinophils, basophils, neutrophils
eosinophils
type of white blood cell, granules stain red with acidic stain, 3%
basophils
type of white blood cell, granules stain blue with basic stain, less than 1%

reduction in the number of erythrocytes or in the amount of hemoglobin in the circulating blood.
aplastic anemia
bone marrow fails to produce erythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes
ischemia
to hold back blood from a part of the body
acromegaly
endocrine disorder. occurs when the pituitary gland produces an excessive amount of growth hormone after the completion of puberty.
achondroplasia
inherited disorder where the bones of the arms and legs fail to grow to normal size because of a defect in cartilage and bone. dwarfism.
