|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| show | signifies no air movement through the lungs.
🗑
|
||||
| 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
🗑
|
||||
| Aldosterone | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a state of shock caused by a severe allergic reaction that lowers blood pressure and results in urticaria, breathing difficulties and possibly death. Presence of vasodilator substances in the blood.
🗑
|
||||
| Anemia | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | mild to moderate anemia secondary to a chronic disease such as infection, inflammation, or malignancies that causes hypoferremia.
🗑
|
||||
| Aneurysm | show 🗑
|
||||
| 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
🗑
|
||||
| Angiotensin II | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a condition in which the aortic valves do not open completely, thereby increasing afterload so that more pressure must be generated in the left ventricle to eject blood, a condition that results in ventricular hypertrophy
🗑
|
||||
| Aphasia | show 🗑
|
||||
| Aplastic anemia | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | cessation of breathing for 10 seconds or longer.
🗑
|
||||
| Arteriosclerosis | show 🗑
|
||||
| Asthma | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | neuroglial cell of the CNS that branches into many processes (bbb) and functions to fill spaces between neurons and surrounding blood vessels.
🗑
|
||||
| Ataxic breathing | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a condition in which part of a lung or a whole lung collapses and the alveoli deflate as a result of surgery, smoking, or blockage of a bronchiole. Incomplete expansion of a portion of the lung. - dec breath sounds, pneumothorax, tachycardia, heart rate
🗑
|
||||
| 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.
🗑
|
||||
| Autonomic Dysreflexia | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | nerve endings located in the heart, aortic arch, and carotid sinuses that sense changes in blood pressure and volume.
🗑
|
||||
| Brain stem death | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | slow breathing with regular depth and rate.
🗑
|
||||
| Bronchiectasis | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a condition in which the bronchioles and possibly some of the bronchi are partly or completely obliterated by granulation and fibrotic tissue masses.
🗑
|
||||
| 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 🗑
|
||||
| show | a type of shock that results from decreased cardiac output caused by heart disease in which the heart is unable to pump blood through the body, usually because of myocardial infarction - cells died
🗑
|
||||
| show | a condition in which the cardiac muscle of the heart wall is deteriorated by ischemic or nonischemic mechanisms.
🗑
|
||||
| show | irreversible brain damage that renders an individual unresponsive to all stimuli but able to maintain the necessary respiratory and cardiovascular function of life.
🗑
|
||||
| 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.
🗑
|
||||
| Dissecting aneurysm | show 🗑
|
||||
| Hypoventilation | show 🗑

To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
