Apnea - Absence of breathing. Arrhythmia - Loss or abnormality of rhythm, denoting especially an irregularity of the heartbeat.

Axilla - (or armpit, underarm, or oxter) is the area on the human body directly under the joint where the arm connects to the shoulder. BMR Basal Metabolic Rate is the rate of energy utilization in the body required to maintain essential activities such as breathing. Bradycardia Slow heart rate Bradypnea - refers to an abnormally slow breathing rate. Centigrade (Celsius) - is a scale and unit of measurement for temperature. Cyanosis - is the appearance of a blue or purple coloration of the skin or mucous membranes due to the tissues near the skin surface being low on oxygen Diaphoresis - is excessive sweating commonly associated with shock and other medical emergency conditions. Dyspnea Shortness of breath. Eupnea is normal, good, unlabored ventilation, sometimes known as quiet breathing or resting respiration. Evaporation is a type of vaporization of a liquid that occurs only on the surface of a liquid. The other type of vaporization is boiling, which, instead, occurs on the entire mass of the liquid. Exhalation (or expiration) is the movement of air out of the bronchial tubes, through the airways, to the external environment during breathing. Fahrenheit is the temperature scale proposed in 1724 by, and named after, the Dutch-German-Polish physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit Febrile - having or showing the symptoms of a fever. Hyperpyrexia Abnormally high fever. Hypothermia is a condition in which core temperature drops below the required temperature for normal metabolism and body functions which is defined as 35.0 C (95.0 F).

Inhalation (also known as inspiration) is the movement of air from the external environment, through the air ways, and into the alveoli. Oral by mouth Orthopnea is shortness of breath (dyspnea) which occurs when lying flat,[1] causing the person to have to sleep propped up in bed or sitting in a chair. It is the opposite of platypnea. Pulse represents the tactile arterial palpation of the heartbeat by trained fingertips. Pulse pressure is most easily defined as being the amount of pressure required to create the feeling of a pulse. Pulse rate a person's heart rate as it is felt in various places throughout the body. Pyrexia (also known as fever or controlled hyperthermia[1]) is a common medical sign characterized by an elevation of temperature above the normal range of 36.537.5 C (98100 F) due to an increase in the body temperature regulatory set-point. Respiration the act of breathing. Rhythm refers to the regularity. Stethoscope is an acoustic medical device for auscultation, or listening to the internal sounds of an animal body. Stridor is a high pitched wheezing sound resulting from turbulent air flow in the upper airway. Stridor is a physical sign which is produced by narrow or obstructed airway path. Systolic pressure The blood pressure when the heart is contracting. It is specifically the maximum arterial pressure during contraction of the left ventricle of the heart Tachycardia omes from the Greek words tachys (rapid or accelerated) and kardia (of the heart). Tachycardia typically refers to a heart rate that exceeds the normal range for a resting heart rate (heart rate in an inactive or sleeping individual). It can be dangerous depending on the speed and type of rhythm.

Tachypnea - (or "tachypnoea") (Greek: "rapid breathing") means rapid breathing. Any rate between 12-20 breaths per minute is normal. Tachypnea is a respiration rate greater than 20 breaths per minute. Thermometer is a device that measures temperature or temperature gradient using a variety of different principles. Wheezing (formally called "sibilant rhonchi" in medical terminology) is a continuous, coarse, whistling sound produced in the respiratory airways during breathing.
