A type of lymphocyte responsible for cell-mediated immunity that differentiates under the influence of the thymus.

A spiral-shaped bacterium.

Any protist of the phylum or subkingdom Protozoa.

Any of various infectious proteins that are abnormal forms of normal cellular proteins, that proliferate by inducing the normal protein to convert to the abnormal form, and that in mammals include pathogenic forms.

A cell (as a white blood cell) that engulfs and consumes foreign material (as microorganisms) and debris.

A cell (as a white blood cell) that engulfs and consumes foreign material (as microorganisms) and debris.

A branch of biology dealing especially with microscopic forms of life (as bacteria, protozoans, viruses, and fungi).

The state produced by the establishment of an infective agent in or on a suitable host.

A condition of being able to resist a particular disease, especially through preventing development of a pathogenic microorganism or by counteracting the effects of its products.

A parasitic worm (as a tapeworm, liver fluke, ascarid, or leech).

A method for the differential staining of bacteria that involves fixing the bacterial cells to a slide and staining with crystal violet and iodine, then washing with alcohol, and counterstaining with safranin. Results in gram-positive bacteria retaining the purple dye and gram-negative organisms having it decolorized so that the red counterstain shows up.

Saprophytic and parasitic spore-producing eukaryotic organisms that lack chlorophyll and include molds, rusts, mildews, smuts, mushrooms, and yeasts.

A spherical bacterium.

A type of lymphocyte that develops in the bone marrow and later produces antibodies.

Single-celled microorganisms that are often aggregated into colonies or motile by means of flagella, typically live in soil, water, organic matter, or the bodies of plants and animals, are usually autotrophic, saprophytic, or parasitic in nutrition, and are noted for their biochemical effects and pathogenicity.

A cylindrical or rod-shaped bacterium.

A procedure performed under sterile conditions.

A measure of cardiac activity usually expressed as the number of beats per minute.

The rhythmic expansion and recoil of arteries resulting from heart contraction; can be felt from the outside of the body.

Located by sliding your fingers alongside your jaw bone and down into the depression on the side of your neck.

This is rhythmic expansion and recoil of arteries resulting from heart contraction, wwhich can be located at the wrist.

Pressure exerted by the blood upon the walls of the blood vessels, especially arteries, usually measured by means of a sphygmomanometer and expressed in millimeters of mercury.

A measurement of heart electrical activity.

Blood pressure that remains between heart contractions.

An abnormally high blood pressure.

An instrument for measuring blood pressure and especially arterial blood pressure.

n acute episode of heart disease marked by death or damage of heart muscle due to insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle.

An electrical device for stimulating or steadying the heartbeat or reestablishing the rhythm of an arrested heart.

A small mass of tissue that is made up of Purkinje fibers, ganglion cells, and nerve fibers, that is embedded in the musculature of the right atrium, and that originates the impulses stimulating the heartbeat

A specialized mass of conducting cells located at the atrioventricular junction in the heart.

An important part of the electrical conduction system of the heart, located at the inferior end of the interatrial septum, to the ventricles of the heart. This is also known as the Bundle of HIS.

Offshoots of the Bundle of HIS in the heart's ventricle. They play an integral role in the electrical conduction system of the heart.

Unique cardiac end-organ. Further histologic examination reveals that thesefibers are split in ventricles walls.
