atrophy
progressive decline or failure; to waste away
an inadequate blood supply to an organ or part of
Ischemia
the body, especially the heart muscles.
Any observations made by using your senses (pts.
S/S of Objective Data
blood pressure, physical findings, and lab values)
Any symptoms pt. complains of, what the pt. feels
S/S of Subjective Data
(pain)
Neurotransmitter secreted by the adrenal medulla in
Epinephrine
response to stress. Also known as adrenaline.
hormone secreted by the kidney; it raises blood
Renin pressure by influencing vasoconstriction (narrowing
of blood vessels)
-reduced concentration of plasma proteins

S/S of hypocalcemia triggering facial twitching)
- positive Trousseau's sign (hand/finger spasms with
sustained blood pressure cuff inflation)
- seizures
Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable
Osmosis
membrane
Movement of molecules from an area of higher
Diffusion
concentration to an area of lower concentration.
Energy-requiring process that moves material across a
active transport
cell membrane against a concentration difference
Effect of hypertonic cell shrinks and can die
solution
effect of a hypotonic cell swells and can burst
solution
A form of acquired immunity in which the body
active immunity produces its own antibodies against disease-causing
antigens.
An individual does not produce his or her own
antibodies, but rather receives them directly from
passive immunity
another source, such as mother to infant through
breast milk
Examples of active natural infection, vaccines,
immunity
Examples of passive IgA in breast milk, maternal IgG crossing placenta,
immunity antitoxin, humanized monoclonal antibody
Immunity that is present only after exposure and is
acquired immunity
highly specific.
examples of acquired 1) having the infection 2) vaccination
immunity
