QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔Vasopressin - ✔✔ADH. Increases blood volume. Secreted by Posterior pituitary in
response to increased plasma osmolarity. Diaretics make you pee ADH - no pee. ADH
stimulates reabsorption of H2O by kidnesy. Decreased urine volume, Increased blood
volume and Increased Blood pressure.
✔✔Amblyopia - ✔✔reduced vision in an eye without a detectable organic lesion
✔✔Blepharitis - ✔✔Inflammation of the eyelids
✔✔Cryotherapy - ✔✔the therapeutic use of cold
✔✔Diplopia - ✔✔double vision
✔✔Iridotomy - ✔✔incision into the iris (usually with a laser) to allow drainage of
aqueous humor from the posterior to anterior chamber; used to treat a type of glaucoma
✔✔Macula - ✔✔a small spot or colored area
✔✔Meibomian - ✔✔a sebaceous gland on the posterior margin of each eyelid
✔✔Myringotomy - ✔✔surgical incision of the eardrum preformed to release fluid or pus
from the middle ear
✔✔Otoscopy - ✔✔visual examination of the ear using an otoscope
✔✔Retinopathy - ✔✔refers to non-inflammatory eye disorders
✔✔Seborrhea - ✔✔the excessive secretion of sebum from the sebaceous glands
, ✔✔Sebum - ✔✔only secretion from sebaceous glands
✔✔Tinnitus - ✔✔ringing or buzzing in the ears
✔✔Tonometry - ✔✔measure of intraocular pressure
✔✔Tympanoplasty - ✔✔Surgical repair of the eardrum
✔✔Vertigo - ✔✔loss of equilibrium or sensation of instability, dizziness

tissue
✔✔Comedo - ✔✔a blackhead; as seen in achne
✔✔Dermatome - ✔✔a configured zone of skin innervated by a spinal cord segment
✔✔Electrodesiccation - ✔✔Tissue is destroyed by burning with an electric spark.
✔✔Erythema - ✔✔redness or inflammation of the skin produced by capillary congestion
✔✔Exudate - ✔✔fluid, cells, or cellular debris that have oozed into the tissue because
of injury or swelling
✔✔Exudative - ✔✔fluid, cells, or cellular debris that have oozed into the tissue because
of injury or swelling

✔✔Keratolytic - ✔✔substance that causes shedding of the skin
✔✔Keratosis - ✔✔a skin lesion where there is overgrowth and thickening of a cornifield
epithelium
✔✔Nevus - ✔✔(mole) circumscribed skin lesion due to excess melanocytes
✔✔Papule - ✔✔a circular area on the skin that is reddened and elevated
