1 / Maryville NURS 612 Exam 3
1.Acute glomerulonephritis : inflammation of the capillary loops of the renal glomeruli
2.Ascites: accumulation of serous fluid in the peritoneal cavity
3.Cholecystitis : inflammatory process of the gallbladder most commonly due to obstruction of the cystic duct from cholelithiasis, which may be either acute or chronic
4.Cholelithiasis : stone formation in the gallbladder occurs when cirain substances reach a high concentration in bile and produce crystals
5.Cirrhosis: diffuse hepatic process characterized by fibrosis and alteration of normal liver architecture into structurally abnormal nodules
6.Duodenal ulcer: chronic circumscribed break in the duodenal mucosa that scars with healing .Irritable bowel syndrome: disorder of intestinal mobility
8.Lipase: enzyme that acts on emulsified fats
9.Peristalsis: muscular contractions that move products of digestion through the alimentary canal
10.Peritoneum: serous membrane lining the abdominal cavity
11.Primary hepatocellular carcinoma: frequently arises in the setting of cirrhosis, approximately 20 to 30 years after liver injury or disease onset
12.Pylonephritis : infection of the kidney and renal pelvis
13.Pyloric stenosis: hypertrophy of the circular muscle of the pylorus leads to obstruction of the pyloric sphincter
14.Pylorus: distal section of the stomach
15.Reflux: backflow caused by relaxation or incompetence of lower esophagus
16.Renal abscess: localized infection within the medulla or cortex of the 3 / kidney
17.Renal calculi: stones formed in the pelvis of the kidney from a physiochemical process associated with obstruction and infections in the urinary tract
18.Resonance: sound obtained on percussing a part that can vibrate freely
19.Tympany: low-pitched, resonant, drumlike note obtained by percussing the surface of a large, air-containing space
20.Volvulus: twisting of the intestine resulting in an obstruction
21.Right upper quadrant: Issues with liver, gall bladder, tip of right kidney, di- aphragm
22.Epigastric region : Stomach and pancreas
23.Left upper quadrant: Spleen, pancreas, tip of left kidney
24.Umbilical region : Uterus, bowel, aorta
25.Right lower quadrant: Appendix, right ovary, bowel
