Partial trisomy - ANS ✓only an extra portion of a chromosome is present in
each cell

hydrogen ions in the blood (which rises above 7.45 on the ph scale)
Alkalosis - ANS ✓abnormally high alkalinity (low hydrogen-ion concentration)
of the blood and other body tissues
Anion gap - ANS ✓difference between the concentrations of serum cations and
anions, determined by measuring the concentrations of sodium cations and
chloride and bicarbonate anions.
Baroreceptor - ANS ✓a sensory receptor that responds to pressure

Buffering - ANS ✓Cushioning the effect of messages by utilizing both positive
and negative politeness skills
Compensation - ANS ✓(psychiatry) a defense mechanism that conceals your
undesirable shortcomings by exaggerating desirable behaviours
Dilutional hyponatremia - ANS ✓a serum sodium that is low not because of an
absolute lack of sodium but because of an excess of water

rises by 1.7 meq/L and osmolality incr by 2 mosmo/kg
Hypocalcaemia - ANS ✓abnormally low level of calcium in the blood
Hypokalemia - ANS ✓abnormally low level of potassium in the circulating blood
leading to weakness and heart abnormalities

Hypovolemia - ANS ✓a blood disorder consisting of a decrease in the volume of
circulating blood
Abscess - ANS ✓symptom consisting of a localized collection of pus surrounded
by inflamed tissue
Chemotaxis - ANS ✓movement by a cell or organism in reaction to a chemical
stimulus
Degranulation - ANS ✓the emptying of granules from the interior of a mast cell
into the extracellular environment.
