When part of the urinary bladder herniates through the vaginal wall as the result of weakness of the pelvic muscles.

A protrusion of a portion of the rectum towards the vagina

A protrusion of an organ or the muscular wall of an organ through the cavity that normally contains it.

Occurs when the stomach protrudes upward into the mediastinum through the esophageal opening in the diaphragm.

When part of the intestine protrudes downward into the groin region and commonly into the scrotal sac in the male.

A herniation of the intestines through a weakness of the abdomminal wall around the navel occuring in infants at birth.

Under ultrasound guidance a physician inserts a needle through the uterus wall and amnion into the amniotic cavity to gather fetal cells during the 12th to 18th week. The cells are then cultured for a microscopic analysis, a karyotype is then made to analyze the chromosomes, and the amniotic fluid is examined for high levels of chemicals which may indicate defects in the spinal cord/column.

A berry-shaped bacterium that grows in twisted chains. One group of streptococci can cause strep throat, tonsillitis, rheumatic fever, and certain kidney ailments. Another group can cause infections in the teeth, sinuses and valves of the heart.

Berry-shaped bacteria that grows in small clusters. Staphylococci lesions may be external or internal.

A collection of pus, white blood cells, and protein that is present at the site of infection.

Methicillin-Resistant Staphyloccocus aureus infection affects the skin, causing "boils" and absecces.

Red blood cells that are made in the bone marrow and carry oxygen from the lungs to all cells. Hemoglobin, a blood protein carries that oxygen through the blood stream.

Process of breaking down or decomposing in the blood

Rupture of the heart

Five

Three

Polymorphonuclear cells, containing dark staining granules in their cytoplasm and have a multi-lobed nucleus. Are formed in bone marrow.

Granules stain red. Are active and increase in number in allergic conditions such as asthma. ~3% of leukocytes are eosinophil.

Granules stain blue. Function is not clear, but the number increases in the healing phase of inflammation. ~1% of leukocytes are basophils.

Granules stain pale purple. Important disease fighting cells. They are phagocytes. Most numerous disease fighting cells that are 50-60% of the leukocytes

• An easy way to remember the five leukocytes!
• Neutrophil, Lymphocyte, Monocyte, Eosinophil, Basophil

Have one nucleus and only a few granules in their cytoplasm. Also produced in bone marrow as well as in lymph nodes and the spleen.

Fight disease by producing antibiotics, thereby destroying foreign cells. May also attach directly to foreign cells and destory them. There are two types: T and B cells. They are 32% of leukocytes.

A mononuclear leukocyte that engulfs and destroy cellular debris after neutrophils have attacked foreign cells. They leave the bloodstream and enter tissue to become macrophages which are large phagocytes. They make up 4% of leukocytes.

The third type of blood cell. They are actually tiny fragments of cells formed in bone marrow and are necessary for blood clotting.

Condition of reduced numbers of erythrocytes or hemoglobin in the circulating blood. Anemias are classified according to different problems that arise with red blood cells.

A severe type of anemia that occurs when bone marrow fails to produce not only erythrocytes but leukocytes and thrombocytes as well.

"To hold back blood" from a part of the body. Tissue that becomes ischemic loses its normal flow of blood and becomes deprived of oxygen. Can be caused by blood clots lodging in a vessel or fat closing off a vessel.

A streptococcal infection of the tonsils, which may require a tonsillectomy.

Endocrine disorder that occurs when the pituitary gland produces an excessive amount of growth hormone AFTER the completion of puberty. Most likely results from benign tumor on the pituitary. Causes bones and soft tissue of hands, feet, and face to grow abnormally. In some cases before puberty can cause gigantism and acromegaly.

Spleen in the LUQ, composed of lymph tissue and blood cells to dispose of dying red blood cells and produce lymphocytes. Splenomegaly occurs with development of high blood pressure in hepatic veins (partal hypertension) and hemolytic blood disease (anemia involving excessive destruction or lysis of red blood cells). If the spleen is removed the organs cary out these functions.

Inherited disorder in which bones of arms and legs fail to grow to normal size because of a defect in cartilage and bone.

Is a visual examination of the abdominal (peritoneal) cavity using a laparoscope which is inserted via a small incision in the abdomen near the navel. Can be used for visual exam for evidence of disease/biopsies, or removal of appendix, gall bladder, adrenal glands, spleen, or ovary, colon resection and repair of hernias.

An incision into the trachea to open it below a blockage. May be performed to remove a foreign body or obtain a biopsy specimen.

An opening to allow an indwelling to be inserted to allow air flow into the lungs or to help remove secretions from the bronchial tubes.

Small masses of lymph tissue in part of the pharynx, nose and nasal passages. Neither endocrine nor exocrine glands. Enlargement of the adenoids cause blockage of the airway from the nose to the pharynx and an adenoidectomy may be advised.

Small artery

The overgrowth or enlargement of an organ or body part caused by an increase in the size of its cells.

An abnormal increase or multiplication in the number or normal cells of a body part.

The formation of bone marrow or its associated cells.

A diagnostic term denoting primary noninlammatory disease of the heart muscle, often of unknown etiology and not caused by hpertensive, congenital, vavular, pericardial, or ischemic disease.

The source or cause of an illness.

An abnormal condition of the lung

Hardening of one or more arteries

Abnormal condition of the white cells

A water or fluid condition of the kidney

A rapid heartbeat, over 100 bpm

A slow heartbeat, less than 60 bpm

Deficiency of urine production

An inflammation of the endocardium
