Theory 1

oxygen deficiency; a reduction of oxygen in the tissues can lead to deep respirations, cyanosis, increased pulse rate, and impairment of coordination.

temporary cessation of breathing; absence of spontaneous respirations

listening for sounds produced within the body; may be performed directly or with a stethoscope

unusually slow heartbeat evidenced by slowing of the pulse rate

the temperature of the deep tissues of the body; remains relatively constant; contrasts wit hbody surface temperature, which rises and falls in response to environment

the phase of the cardiac cycle in which the heart relaxes between contractions and the two ventricles are dilated by the blood flowing into them;

pertaining to or occuring during the daytime or period of light

systolic blood pressure of 140 mmHg or greater and diastolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg or greater

higher than normal body temp

lower than normal body temperature

the sounds heard during the determination of blood pressure; sounds originating within the blood passing through the vessels or produced by vibratory motion of the arterial wall

normal tension or tone; of or pertaining to having normal blood pressure

the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure; normally 40 mmHg

an abnormal elevation of the body temperature above 98.6 degrees F

instrument used to hear and amplify the sounds produced by the heart, lungs and other internal organs

the contraction or period of contraction of the heart, especially the ventricles during which blood is forced into the aorta and the pulmonary artery

unusually fast heartbeat, at a rate greater than 100 beats per minute
