Vocabulary
Dysplasia (Dys- Condition, Plas- Cells)
various types of abnormal growth or development of cells or organs.
Can be caused by: Dependent on the type, Cervical Dysplasia usually caused by HPV. Skeletal- genetic mutations, and Hip Dysplasia is unkown.
Mitosis (My Twins)
a process of cell division that produces two identical daughter cells from a single parent cell
Dysphasia (Dys- Condition, Phas- Phrases)
condition that affects a person’s ability to understand and produce spoken language.
Can be caused by: Cerebrovascular disease, Head injury, Dementia, and Lesions.
Allergy
when the immune system overreacts to substances that are usually harmless these substances are known as allergens.
Autoimmunity (Auto- Think car is attacking)
a condition where the body’s immune system attacks its own healthy cells, tissues, and organs instead of protecting the body from disease and infection
Isoimmunity (Think ISO glad im not pregnant)
A condition that happens when a pregnant woman’s blood protein is incompatible with the baby’s, causing her immune system to react and destroy the baby’s blood cells.
Oncotic force (Oh no Plasma, give me that fluid capillary)
known as colloid osmotic pressure (COP), is the force exerted by plasma proteins in the blood that pulls fluid back into capillaries.
Hypertonicity (When im HYPER i drink TONIC and i need water)
When there is an excess of solutes outside of the body in relation to body water, this is known as hypertonicity. This can lead to an increase in the concentration of body fluids.
Isotonicity (ISO stable when i have Tonic)
When two solutions have the same concentration of solutes, they are isotonic. This means that there is no net movement of water into or out of a cell, and the cell’s volume remains stable.
Aerobic Respiration (also known as aerobic metabolism, cell respiration)
a chemical process that uses oxygen to break down carbohydrates, like sugars, to create energy
Anaerobic Respiration
process that produces energy without oxygen, using electron acceptors other than oxygen
Renin Angiotensin (known as RAAS)
a hormone system that regulates blood pressure, fluid and electrolyte balance, and vascular resistance.
R- Renin: An enzyme
A- Angiotensin II: A hormone
A- Aldosterone: A hormone
S- System
Afterload (After Stroke has started)
the pressure the heart must overcome to pump blood out during a heartbeat, or stroke.
Preload (Pre stroke blood pump)
the stretch of myocardium or end-diastolic volume of the ventricles, one of the main factors that affect stroke volume, which is the amount of blood pumped out of the heart in each beat.
Cardiac Output
the product of heart rate (HR) and stroke volume (SV).
HR is most commonly defined as the number of times the heart beats in one minute. SV is the volume of blood ejected during ventricular contraction or for each stroke of the heart.
