Dopamine: a monoamine neurotransmitter found in the brain and essential for the normal functioning of the central nervous system; as a drug (trade names Dopastat and Intropin) it is used to treat shock and hypotension.

Hypotensive: a person who has abnormally low blood pressure.

High Blood Pressure: a common disorder in which blood pressure remains abnormally high (a reading of 140/90 mm Hg or greater).

Thrombocytopenia: a blood disease characterized by an abnormally small number of platelets in the blood.

Blood Pressure: the pressure of the circulating blood against the walls of the blood vessels; results from the systole of the left ventricle of the heart; sometimes measured for a quick evaluation of a person`s health.

Macrocyte: abnormally large red blood cell (associated with pernicious anemia).

Melaena: abnormally dark tarry feces containing blood (usually from gastrointestinal bleeding).

Acidosis: abnormally high acidity (excess hydrogen-ion concentration) of the blood and other body tissues.

Hypocalcaemia: abnormally low level of calcium in the blood; associated with hypoparathyroidism or kidney malfunction or vitamin D deficiency.

Hypoparathyroidism: inadequate secretion of parathyroid hormone resulting in abnormally low levels of calcium in the blood.

Hypercapnia: the physical condition of having the presence of an abnormally high level of carbon dioxide in the circulating blood.

Hypercalcaemia: the presence of abnormally high levels of calcium in the blood; usually the result of excessive bone resorption in hyperparathyroidism or Paget's disease.

Pressor: increasing (or tending to increase) blood pressure.

Diabetes: a polygenic disease characterized by abnormally high glucose levels in the blood; any of several metabolic disorders marked by excessive urination and persistent thirst.

Essential Hypertension: persistent and pathological high blood pressure for which no specific cause can be found.

Compression Bandage: bandage that stops the flow of blood from an artery by applying pressure.

Abetalipoproteinemia: a rare inherited disorder of fat metabolism; characterized by severe deficiency of beta-lipoproteins and abnormal red blood cells (acanthocytes) and abnormally low cholesterol levels.

Varix: abnormally enlarged or twisted blood vessel or lymphatic vessel.

Polygraph: a medical instrument that records several physiological processes simultaneously (e.g., pulse rate and blood pressure and respiration and perspiration).

Anaemia: Anemia is a medical condition characterized by a decrease in the number of red blood cells or a low concentration of hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the body`s tissues. When the level of hemoglobin or red blood cells falls below the normal range, it can lead to a reduced ability of the blood to carry oxygen effectively.

Adh: hormone secreted by the posterior pituitary gland (trade name Pitressin) and also by nerve endings in the hypothalamus; affects blood pressure by stimulating capillary muscles and reduces urine flow by affecting reabsorption of water by kidney tubules.

Acupressure: treatment of symptoms by applying pressure with the fingers to specific pressure points on the body.

Air Compressor: a compressor that takes in air at atmospheric pressure and delivers it at a higher pressure.

Escape: a valve in a container in which pressure can build up (as a steam boiler); it opens automatically when the pressure reaches a dangerous level.

Hepatitis C: a viral hepatitis clinically indistinguishable from hepatitis B but caused by a single-stranded RNA virus; usually transmitted by parenteral means (as injection of an illicit drug or blood transfusion or exposure to blood or blood products).

Air Current: air moving (sometimes with considerable force) from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure.

Agglutination Test: a blood test used to identify unknown antigens; blood with the unknown antigen is mixed with a known antibody and whether or not agglutination occurs helps to identify the antigen; used in tissue matching and blood grouping and diagnosis of infections.

Tonometer: measuring instrument for measuring tension or pressure (especially for measuring intraocular pressure in testing for glaucoma).

Abo Blood Group System: a classification system for the antigens of human blood; used in blood transfusion therapy; four groups are A and B and AB and O.

Blood Platelet: tiny bits of protoplasm found in vertebrate blood; essential for blood clotting.

Thrombus: a blood clot formed within a blood vessel and remaining attached to its place of origin.
