Veins, and other stuff
Any of the muscular-walled tubes forming part of the circulation system by which blood (mainly that which has been oxygenated) is conveyed from the heart to all parts of the body.
Artery
The noun for diastolic is diastole. The diastolic pressure is specifically the minimum arterial pressure during relaxation and dilatation of the ventricles of the heart when the ventricles fill with blood.
Diastolic Artery
a small colorless disk-shaped cell fragment without a nucleus, found in large numbers in blood and involved in clotting
Platelet
(Thing) (symbol VT or TV) is the lung volume representing the normal volume of air displaced between normal inhalation and exhalation when extra effort is not applied
Tidal Volume
(Thing) is the process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere.
Transpiration
The pressure of the blood in the circulatory system, often measured for diagnosis since it is closely related to the force and rate of the heartbeat and the diameter and elasticity of the arterial walls.
blood pressure
A vein carrying oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.
Pulmonary Vein
a red blood cell that (in humans) is typically a biconcave disc without a nucleus. Erythrocytes contain the pigment hemoglobin, which imparts the red color to blood, and transport oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from the tissues.
Red Blood Cells
The greatest volume of air that can be expelled from the lungs after taking the deepest possible breath.
Vital Capacity
Evaporation is a type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase. The surrounding gas must not be saturated with the evaporating substance.
Evaporation
The time at which ventricular contraction occurs is called systole. In a blood pressure reading, the (thing) is typically the first number recorded. For example, with a blood pressure of 120/80 ("120 over 80"),
Systolic pressure
a red protein responsible for transporting oxygen in the blood of vertebrates. Its molecule comprises four subunits, each containing an iron atom bound to a heme group.
Hemoglobin
Functional (thing) (FRC) is the volume of air present in the lungs at the end of passive expiration
Residual Capacity
Water which collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it.
Condensation
Any of the tubes forming part of the blood circulation system of the body, carrying in most cases oxygen-depleted blood toward the heart.
Vein
Urea is a nitrogenous compound containing a carbonyl group attached to two amine groups with osmotic diuretic activity.
Urea
(thing) is defined as a process by which a chemical is converted from a liquid solution into a solid crystalline state.
Crystallization
The (thing) is specifically the minimum arterial pressure during relaxation and dilatation of the ventricles of the heart when the ventricles fill with blood.
Diastolic pressure
Stuff that fights off Bacteria and other diseases
White Blood Cells
rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to the ground.
Precipitation
