hernia
a protusion of an organ of the muscular wall of an organ through the cavity that normally contains it.
120
hiatal hernia
occurs when the stomach protrudes upward into the mediastinum through the esophageal opening in the diaphragm
121
inguinal hernia
occurs when part of the intestine protrudes downward into the groin region and commonly into the scrotal sac in the male.
122
cystocele
occurs when part of the urinary bladder herniates through the vaginal wall as a result of weakness of the pelvic muscles ( posteriorly toward the vagina)
123
rectocele
is the protrusion of a portion of the rectum toward the vagina (anteriorly toward the vagina)
124
omphalocele
(omphal/o=umbilicus, navel) is a herniation of the intestines through weakness in the abdominal wall around the navel occurring in infants at birth
125
Streptococcus
a berry-shaped bacterium, grows in twisted chains. Causes strep throat, tonsillitis, rheumatic fever and certain kidney ailments. Can also cause infection in teeth, sinuses, and in the valves of the heart.
126
Staphylococci
berry-shaped bacteria, grow in small clusters like grapes. Can be external (skin abcesses, boils, styes) or internal (abscesses in bone or kidney)
127
abscess
a collection of pus, white blood cells, and protein that is present at the site of infection.
128
MRSA
Methicillin - Resistent - Staphylococcus Aureus is a serious staphylococcal condition that is difficult to treat with antibiotics.
129
diplococci
(berry-shaped bacteria organized in pairs; dipl/o = two) examples; pneumococci (cause bacterial pneumonia) and gonococci (invade the reproductive organs, causing gonorrhea).
130
pneum/o
lungs
131
gon/o
seed
132
Erythrocytes
red blood cells. These cells are made up in the born marrow They carry oxygen from the lungs through the blood to all the body cells. Body cells use oxygen to burn food and release energy (catabolism). Contain hemoglobin.
133
Hemoglobin
globin = protein. an important protein in erythrocytes, carries the oxygen through the blood stream.
134
Leukocytes
White blood cells. There are five different kinds of leukocytes. Three are granulocytes, or polymorphonuclear cells, and two are mononuclear.
135
Granulocytes or Polymorphonuclear cells
contain dark-staining granules in their cytoplasm and have multilobed nucleus. They are formed in the born marrow, and there are three types:
1. Eosinophils
2. Basophils
3. Neutrophils
136
Eosinophils
(granules stain red [eosin/o=rosy] with acidic stain) are active and increased in number in allergic conditions such as asthma. About 3% of leukocytes are eosinophils.
137
Basophils
(granules stain blue with basic [bas/o=basic] stain). The function of the basophils is not clear, but the number of these cells increases in the healing phase of inflammations. Less then 1% of leukocytes are basophils
138
Neutrophils
(granules stain pale purple with neutral stain) are important disease fighting cells. They are phagocytes ( phag/o = eating. swallowing) they engulf and digest bacteria. They are the most numerious diease - fighting "soldiers (about 50% to 60% of leukocytes are neurophils) and are referred to as "polys" or polymorphonuclear leukocytes. (poly = many, morph/o = shape) because of their multilobed nuculeus.
