Homeostasis ✔✔Human body ability to respond to stress and make changes to maintain optimal
health and physiological functioning.
Acute Disease ✔✔medical condition that occurs suddenly and can be treated an healed in a short
period of time e.g. bronchitis. Left untreated bronchitis could become a chronic illness.
Chronic Disease ✔✔a medical condition that persists long term e.g. emphysema.
Ischemic Heart Disease ✔✔Narrowing of coronary arteries which supply blood and oxygen to
the heart.
,Atherosclerosis ✔✔Plaque is formed in the arteries, leading to reduced blood flow to the heart or
brain.
Hypertension ✔✔Blood pressure greater than 120/80 (systolic/diastolic.
Systolic blood pressure (SBP) ✔✔Pressure in arteries and other blood vessels when the heart is
beating or contracting. Top number recorded.
Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ✔✔pressure in arteries and other blood vessels when the heart is
at rest or between boots. Th bottom number recorded.
Elevated Systolic between 120-129/80
Stage 1 Hypertension 130-139/80-89
Stage 2 Hypertension - 140+/90
