Terms you need to know.... Dermatofibroma – fibrous tumor of the skin Hidradenitis – inflammation of a sweat
gland Seborrhea – excessive discharge of sebum
(oil) Paronychia – a diseased state around a nail Xeroderma – dry skin Leiodermia – condition of smooth skin
More terms....... Abrasion – scraping
away of skin by mechanical process or injury
Gangrene – death of tissue caused by loss of blood supply
Fissure – slit or crack-like sore in the skin
Urticaria – medical term for hives
Xanthoderma – jaundice or yellow skin Cicatrix – scar Cyst – closed sac containing fluid or
semisolid material Diaphoresis – profuse sweating Edema – puffy swelling of tissue from the
accumulation of fluid Petechia – a pinpoint skin hemorrhage Verruca – wart Keloid – overgrowth of scar tissue
Function – exchange oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) between the atmosphere and body cells; this is called respiration
During breathing (external respiration), O2 passes from lungs to blood in capillaries
CO2 also passes from capillaries back into the lungs to be expelled
During internal respiration, body cells take on O2 from the blood and give back CO2, which is taken to the lungs
Inhalation brings air into the lungs Exhalation expels air from the lungs Respiration occurs every 3-5 sec.
