QRS complex - Correct Answer - an element appearing on a
cardiac monitor tracing that reflects the activity that produces
ventricular contraction
Rales - Correct Answer - abnormal breath sounds detected
during auscultation of the lungs that are often described as
crackling or bubbling
receptor sites - Correct Answer - specialized sites on ion
channels to which natural neurotransmitter substances or drugs
attach, usually leading to the opening of the ion channel for
passage of positively or negatively charged ions
redistribution - Correct Answer - the release of a drug from its
initial receptor site and its movement through the blood stream to
other body structures such as fat stores, muscles, etc.
relay center - Correct Answer - an ovoid structure in the central
portion of the brain that relays sensory input to the cerebral cortex
,repolarization - Correct Answer - reestablishment of the normal
distribution of charge across a neuronal membrane
review of system - Correct Answer - an organized set of
questions asked during history taking that address each of the
major body systems
rheumatic heart disease - Correct Answer - damage to the heart,
primarily the heart valve, caused by a systemic bacterial infection
run of PVCs - Correct Answer - several PVCs in succession
second degree AV block Type I - Correct Answer - an
atrioventricular block with progressive elongation of the PR
interval followed by a dropped beat
second degree AV block Type II - Correct Answer - an
atrioventricular block with alternating conducting and non-
conducting impulses and multiple dropped beats
,sedatives - Correct Answer - a group of pharmacologic agents
used to provide a sense of relaxation in patients who are
apprehensive
Hemaglobin - Correct Answer - a component of red blood cells
that carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and carbon
dioxide from the tissues to the lungs
Hypercarbia - Correct Answer - increased level of carbon dioxide
hypertension - Correct Answer - abnormally high blood pressure
hyperthyroidism - Correct Answer - excessive functional activity
of the thyroid gland, characterized by increased basal
metabolism, goiter, and disturbances of the autonomic nervous
system
hypotension - Correct Answer - abnormally low blood pressure
hypothyroidism - Correct Answer - deficiency of thyroid activity
characterized in adults by decreased basal metabolic rate,
tiredness, sensitivity to cold, and menstrual disturbances
, hypoxia - Correct Answer - low levels of oxygen
induction - Correct Answer - the initiation of a state of
unconsciousness duirng anesthesia
Inferior alveolar artery - Correct Answer - artery that supplies
blood to the mandible, teeth, lower lip and chin
inferior vena cava - Correct Answer - the venous trunk from the
lower extremities and abdominal viscera that empties blood into
the right atrium of the heart
internal jugular vein - Correct Answer - vein that drains much of
the blood from the head and the neck
ion channels - Correct Answer - microscopic channels within the
membranes of neurons through which charged particles or ions
pass during conduction of the nerve impulse
ischemia - Correct Answer - deficiency of the blood to a body
part
