|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Absent breath sounds | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the tension or pressure that must be generated by a chamber of the heart in order to contract, such as that required to eject blood into the aorta
🗑
|
||||
| show | mineralocorticoid that is synthesized and secreted by the adrenal cortex and acts to regulate sodium and potassium balance by altering reabsorption in the kidney.
🗑
|
||||
| Anaphylactic shock | show 🗑
|
||||
| Anemia | show 🗑
|
||||
| Anemia of chronic disease | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a localized dilation or ballooning of a blood vessel, usually found in the arteries at the base of the brain and in the aorta.
🗑
|
||||
| show | a condition in which myocardial ischemia caused by reduced blood flow through the blood vessels of the heart cause chest pain. Ischemia - don’t have enough oxygen. Infarction - dead
🗑
|
||||
| show | inactive product of the cleavage of angiotensinogen by rennin
🗑
|
||||
| show | active hormone that is formed from the cleavage of angiotensin I by angiotensin-converting enzyme and acts to stimulate aldosterone secretion and to vasoconstriction.
🗑
|
||||
| Aortic stenosis | show 🗑
|
||||
| Aphasia | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a condition in which the bone marrow does not product adequate amounts of new cells to replenish the blood cells lost during insults such as an autoimmune disorder or exposure to radiation or substances such as benzene or certain drugs.
🗑
|
||||
| show | cessation of breathing for 10 seconds or longer.
🗑
|
||||
| show | a condition in which the blood vessel walls, thicken, harden, lose elasticity, and typically accumulate lipids, resulting in elevated blood pressure and constriction of the coronary arteries and pain when walking caused by decreased perfusion to leg vess
🗑
|
||||
| show | a chronic inflammatory respiratory disease marked by periodic attacks of wheezing, shortness of breath, a tight feeling in the chest, and a cough that produces mucus caused by an allergic reaction, certain drugs or irritants, exercise or emotional stres
🗑
|
||||
| Astrocyte | show 🗑
|
||||
| Ataxic breathing | show 🗑
|
||||
| Atelectasis | show 🗑
|
||||
| Atherosclerosis | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | any of a group of congenital heart diseases involving the interartrial septum of the heart that separates the right and left atria, which results in misdirected flow of blood between the two sides of the heart. ****
🗑
|
||||
| Atrioventricular defect | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the tissue between the atria and the ventricles that contains pacemaker cells and is capable of setting the heart rate but mainly functions to slowly conduct the normal electrical impulse from the atria to the ventricle.
🗑
|
||||
| show | see spinal cord injury --- 3 key words - noxious stimuli, severe headache, severe HTN, tanking of heart rate - roll over, check skin - ingrown toenail
🗑
|
||||
| Baroreceptors | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | irreversible brain damage that renders an individual unresponsive to all stimuli and lacking in muscle activity such as that required for respiration and heart activity.
🗑
|
||||
| show | slow breathing with regular depth and rate.
🗑
|
||||
| Bronchiectasis | show 🗑
|
||||
| Bronchiolitis obliterans | show 🗑
|
||||
| Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | bundle of specialized heart muscle cells located between the AV node and the ventricles that functions to conduct electrical impulses from the atria to the ventricles.
🗑
|
||||
| Cardiac cycle | show 🗑
|
||||
| Cardiogenic shock | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a condition in which the cardiac muscle of the heart wall is deteriorated by ischemic or nonischemic mechanisms.
🗑
|
||||
| Cerebral death | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a developmental brain injury that occurs before or shortly after birth that causes muscular impairment that affects motor function and also may alter speech and learning abilities.
🗑
|
||||
| show | localized brain infarction that may result in facial, arm or leg numbness and weakness, confusion, difficulty speaking or understanding, visual disturbances, dizziness, loss of balance, difficulty walking and headache.
🗑
|
||||
| show | is a separation and bleeding between the layers of an arterial wall. - outpouching, media, intima
🗑
|
||||
| Hypoventilation | show 🗑
