TLC
Tidal Volume
The volume of air breathed in and out without conscious effort. 500mL
TLC
Inspiratory Reserve Volume
The additional volume of air that can be inhaled with maximum effort after normal inspiration. 3,100mL
TLC
Expiratory Reserve Volume
The additional volume of air that can be forcibly exhaled after normal exhalation 1,200 mL
TLC
Vital Capacity
The total volume of air that can be exhaled after maximum inhalation. 4,800 mL
TLC
Residual Volume
The volume of air that remains in the lungs after maximum exhalation. Under normal conditions, the lungs are never completely emptied.
TLC
Total Lung Capacity
Total volume of the lungs; sum of the vital capacity and the residual volume
TLC
Forced Expiratory Volume
The maximum amount of air that can forcefully be exhaled in one second
EKG
Heart Conduction System
SA node, atria, AV node, Bundle of His, Purkinje fibers, ventricles
PQRST
P
The atria depolarizes and contracts
PQRST
Q
The amount of time it takes for the signal to travel from the SA node to the AV node
PQRST
R
Ventricles depolarize and prepare to contract, atria repolarize at the same time
PQRST
S
When the ventricles contract
PQRST
T
When ventricles repolarize
EKG
Arrhythmia
A problem with the rate of rhythm of your heartbeat
EKG
Tachycardia
Faulty signaling that signals the heart to beat too fast
EKG
Bradycardia
Faulty signaling that signals the heart to beat too slow or unpredictably
EKG
Myocardial infarction
An area of cardiac tissue that has died
Lymphatic and Immune system
Prions
Any the various infectious proteins that are abnormal forms of normal cellular proteins. Prions proliferate by inducing normal proetins to convery to the abnormal form that causes disease, such as mad cow disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, and kuru
Lymphatic and immune system
Viruses
Any of a large group of nonliving, submicroscopic infective agents that typically comprise an RNA or DNA core of genetic material surrounded by a protein coat. Viruses are not cellular and require a host in which to replicate. They cause various important diseases in all forms of life.
