DAANCE 2024-2025 EXAM WITH
CORRECT QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED
ANSWERS GRADED A+
Addison's disease - ANS-A disease due to the hyposecretion of glucocorticoids, characterized by low
blood pressure, anemia, diarrhea, digestive disturbance, and a bronze like pigmentation of the skin
Ventricular tachycardia - ANS-A cardiac dysrhythmia in which there is rapid firing of an ectopic focus in
the ventricles (with a rate of 140 to 200 bpm) and a wide QRS complex with no P waves
Venule - ANS-Any of the small vessels that collect blood from networks of capillaries and join them to
form veins
Vestibular nerve - ANS-Part of the 8th cranial nerve that is connected with equilibrium and hearinf
Vital centers - ANS-Centers in the brainstem that control such physiologic processes as blood pressure
and pulse, depth and rate of respiration, etc
Vomiting center - ANS-The center in the brainstem that induces the vomiting response
Wakefulness system - ANS-The system in the brain that maintains the state of consciousness or
wakefulness. It consists of a central core (the reticular core) in the brainstem with neurons that radiate
to the cortex
,Adjunctive agents - ANS-Agents that supplement the primary anesthetic agent to augment or enhance
the effects of the primary agent
Allergenicity - ANS-Having the property of an allergen, a substance that will elicit an allergic response in
sensitive individuals
Alveolus (pl. alveoli) - ANS-A small air sac within the body of the lung
Amide - ANS-A chemical structure derived from ammonia; there is a group of amide local anesthetics
that are widely used in dentistry. (Ex. Lido, mepivicaine, prolocaine, bupivicaine
Amnesia - ANS-Failure to remember events related to surgery
Analgesia - ANS-Insensitivity to pain
Anaphylaxis - ANS-A severe allergic reaction marked by any of several severe responses, including skin
reactions, smooth muscle cramping, urinary incontinence, constriction of bronchioles, respiratory
difficulty, and cardiovascular collapse
Anemia - ANS-A reduction in the number of red blood cells in the bloodstream
Angina pectoris - ANS-Pain in the chest, with a feeling of suffocation, usually due to a deficiency of blood
supply to the myocardium
Antecubital - ANS-Situated in front of the elbow
Antecubital fossa - ANS-The depression between the forearm and the upper arm that is literally "in front
of the elbow"
Anticholinergic - ANS-A drug that counteracts the action of acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter of the
parasympathetic nervous system and thereby blocks the action of the parasympathetic nerves
, Antiemetic - ANS-A drug that counteracts nausea and vomitting
Antisialogogue - ANS-A drug that counteracts the production of saliva
Anxiolytics - ANS-Drugs that reduce anxiety, agitation, or tension (ex. Diazepam - Valium, Midazolam -
Versed
Aorta - ANS-The main trunk (a very large artery) from which the arterial system proceeds
Apnea - ANS-Absence of cessation of breathing
Arrest rhythms - ANS-Cardiac rhythms in which there is cardiac arrest. Some arrest rhythms such as
pulseless ventricular tachycardia are accompanied by a rhythm display, but there is no contraction
Arrhythmia - ANS-Any variation from the normal rhythm of the heartbeat
Arteriole - ANS-Any of the very small arterial branches located at the end of an artery (furthest from the
heart)
Artery - ANS-A vessel that carries blood away from the heart to other parts of the body
Ascites - ANS-Accumulation of serous fluid in the abdominal cavity
Asyatole - ANS-Cardiac arrest in which there is no rhythm display and no contraction
Ataractics - ANS-Pharmacologic agents that produce a tranquilizing effect
Atherosclerosis - ANS-A disease of the arteries characterized by the deposition of plaques of fatty
material on their inner walls
