| Lesions | an abnormal change in structure of an organ or part due to injury or disease |
| Induration | the process of or condition produced by growing hard |
| Magnetic resonance imaging | a noninvasive diagnostic technique that produces computerized images of internal body tissues |
| Occlusion | the act of closing up or blocking |
| Pulmonary artery | an artery that conveys venous blood from the heart to the lungs |
| Cerebral stroke | a blockage of blood vessels in the brain that can cause part of the brain to die |
| Myocardial infarction | a heart attack, death or damage of heart muscle due to insufficient blood supply to the heart usually as a result of a coronary artery becoming blocked by a blood clot formed in response to a ruptured or torn fatty arterial deposit |
| Oil embolism | sudden blockage of a blood vessel from excessive oil |
| Satellite cell | precursor muscle cell that becomes activated by small muscle tears caused by exercise, the source of muscle growth |
| Synthol | Synthol is 85 percent oil, 7.5 percent lidocaine, and 7.5 percent alcohol. When used for muscle growth, synthol is placed in a syringe and injected deep into the target muscle. |
| Histopathology | using a microscope to look at human tissue to see if it has signs of diseases, damage, or other abnormalities |
| Inflammation | When your body activates your immune system, it sends out inflammatory cells and fluids. These cells attack bacteria or heal damaged tissue |
| Fibrosis | formation of excessive scar tissue |
| Lidocaine | a painkiller that is used in synthol |
| Ink particles | microscopic ink particles consist of metals of varying sizes. Please note, macrophages do NOT break down ink particles. |
| Laser tattoo removal | High temperature and high speed lasers shatter the ink particles that make up the tattoo. Small particles produced can then be dragged away by the macrophages. |
