Bacteria
The rate at which the body uses energy while at rest to keep vital functions going
basal metabolic rate
Develop in people who are bedridden. Compression of tissue and reduced circulation result in destruction of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, which later become infected by bacteria, forming ulcers
Bedsores
Decubitus Ulcers

- Respiratory Tract
- Skin(especially burns)
- Blood (Bacteremia)
- Gastrointestinal Tract
- Central Nervous System
A disease communicated from one person to another
Communicable Disease
Water, sodium chloride, small amounts of ammonia, urea, uric acid, lactic acid
Composition of Sweat
Gradual healing (through rest) after sickness or injury
Convalescence
The exchange of heat between objects in direct contact with each other. Such as the bottoms of the feet and the floor
Conduction
The transfer of heat between the body and the air or water. A cool breeze causes air to move over the body, allowing body heat to be lost
Convection
Forms the bulk of the hair. Consists of cells containing hard keratin. It is covered by the cuticle
Cortex of hair root
The stages an infection goes through from the appearance of the 1st problem, through treatment, to its conclusion
Course of Infection
A single layer of cells that contains hard keratin. The edges of the cuticle cells overlap like shingles on a roof.
Cuticle of Hair Root
Projections that extend toward the epidermis that shape the overlying epidermis into fingerprints and footprints
Dermal Papillae
