An abnormality in heart rate in which myocardium contrcts regularly but at a rate over 100 beats per min.

Condition characterized by respiratory rate greater than 20 breaths per min

Ability to control temperature within and acceptable range

Pertaining to a structure that resonates when stuck;drumlike

narrowing of the lumen ofany blood vessel. especially the arterioles and the veins in the blood reservoirs of the skin and abdominal viscera

An increase in the diameter of a blood vessel caused by inhibition of a vasoconstrictor nerves or stimulation of dilator nerves

Dry grating sound heard during ausculation, caused by rubbing of tissue surfaces

Redness or inflammation of the skin or mucous membranes result or dilation and congestion of superficial capillaries

Abnormal accumulation of fluids in interstitial spaces of tissues

Bluish discoloration of te skin and mucous membranes caused by an excess of deoxygenated hemoglobin in the blood or a structural defect in the hemoglobin molecule

Fine bubbling

sound heard on ausculation of the lung

palpation over this region can elicit tenderness. tenderness is common with kidney infection or trauma to the region

Enlargement of the heart; typical sign of heart failure

Abnrmal sound or murmur created by turbulant blod flow heard while auscultation an organ, gland or artery

The act of listening for sounds withing the body to evaluate the condition of the heart, lungs, pleura intestines or other organs or to detect fetal heart sounds; performed directly or most cmmonly through use of a stethoscope

Wasting or diminution of size or physiological activity of a part of the body caused by disease or other influences

Procedure used to measure amount of oxygenated hemoglobin

an abnormal condition in which a person must sit or stand to breath deeply or comfortably

conditin characterized by body temperature below 30 degrees celcius(96.8F)

Condition characterized by a low blood pressure that is inadequate to perfuse and oxygenate body tissue

Condition characterized by body temperature over 38 degrees celcius(100.4F)

condition characterized by an elevated blood pressure persistently exceeding 150/90 mmHg

Condiion characterized by care body temp of 45 degrees celcius(116 degrees F)

Measurment of the heartbeat as taken with the stethoscope places over the apex of the heart

prtaining to a substance such as a medication, that reduces fever

without fever

an abnormal elevation in body temperature

Pertaining to or characterized by fever or elevation in body temperature

an irregular fast or slow heat rhythm

difficulty in breathing

he lower blood pressure measurment which reflects the pressure consistently exerted within the arterial system during the period of ventricular relaxation

Te

temperature of deep body tissues and organs

breathing that is normal in rate bu abnormally slow (less than 12 per min)

An abnormality in heart rate in which heart contrcts steadily at a rate less than 60 contractions per minute

pertaining to a pyramid shaped space that forms the underside of the shoulder etween the upper part of the arm and the side of the chest

a cardiac dysrythemia characterized by ventricular contraction preceding the expected contraction it appears on and electrocardiogram as and early wide QRS complex without a preceeding P wave

Condition characterized by difference between apical pulse rate and peripheral perfusion

Fever, and elevation of the body temperature above the normal range

condition in which a normotensive person becomes light headed or dizzy and experiences low blood presure when rising to an upright position

amount of hemoglobin that is fully saturated with oxygen expressed as a percentage of total available hemoglobin

sy

symbol for the first heart sound in the cardiac cycle occuring with ventrical systole, it is associated with the closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves

Symbol for the second heart sound in the cadiac cycle; it is associated with closure of the aortic and pulmnary valves just before venticular diastole

Device used for noninvasice measurment of arterial BP consisting of cuff, air bladder, inflation bulb, and gauge toindicare amount of air pressure being exerted

higher BP measurment, reflects pressure within the arterial system during the priod of ventricular contrcacion (systole)
