Intro: Principles of Biomedical Science Vocabulary

Biomedical science is...

• the application of the principles of the natural sciences, especially biology and physiology, to clinical medicine

• the measurable effect, outcome, or response in which the research is interested

• the application of scientific knowledge to questions of civil and criminal law

• any of the usually linear bodies in the cell nucleus that contain the genetic material

A control group is...

• the clear prediction of the anticipated results of an experiment

• the group in an experiment where the independent variable being tested is not applied

• the measurable effect, outcome, or response in which the research is interested

• a document showing all the sources used to research information

A dependent variable is...

• the variable that is varied or manipulated by the researcher

• a simplified version of something complex used, for example, to analyze and solve problems or make predictions

• the measurable effect, outcome, or response in which the research is interested

• a document showing all the sources used to research information

An experiment is...

• the variable that is varied or manipulated by the researcher

• the measurable effect, outcome, or response in which the research is interested

• the act of creating citations to identify resources used in writing a work

• a research study conducted to determine the effect that one variable has upon another variable

Forensic science is...

• the application of scientific knowledge to questions of civil and criminal law

• the application of the principles of the natural sciences, especially biology and physiology, to clinical medicine

• the measurable effect, outcome, or response in which the research is interested

• the variable that is varied or manipulated by the researcher

Hypothesis means...

• a clear prediction of the anticipated results of an experiment

• a research study conducted to determine the effect that one variable has upon another variable

• the application of the principles of the natural sciences, especially biology and physiology, to clinical medicine

• the application of scientific knowledge to questions of civil and criminal law

An independent variable is...

• the measurable effect, outcome, or response in which the research is interested

• the control group where conditions produce a negative outcome

• the variable that is varied or manipulated by the researcher

• a research study conducted to determine the effect that one variable has upon another variable

A negative control is...

• the variable that is varied or manipulated by the researcher

• the measurable effect, outcome, or response in which the research is interested

• the clear prediction of the anticipated results of an experiment

• the control group where conditions produce a negative outcome

Personal protective equipment is...

• a comprehensive set of standards and practices designed to give patients specific rights regarding their personal health information

• specialized clothing or equipment, worn by an employee for protection against infectious materials (as defined by OSHA)

• a simplified version of something complex used, for example, to analyze and solve problems or make predictions

• any of the usually linear bodies in the cell nucleus that contain the genetic material

The positive control is...

• the group expected to have a positive result, allowing the researcher to show that the experimental set up was capable of producing results

• a simplified version of something complex used, for example, to analyze and solve problems or make predictions

• a document showing all the sources used to research information

• control group where conditions produce a negative outcome, help identify outside influences which may be present that were not accounted for when the procedure was created
