purkinje fiber system - ANSWER: specialized cardia muscle fibers that rapidly
transmit impulses in the heart and coordinate contraction of the heart
QRS complex - ANSWER: an element appearing on a cardiac monitor tracing that
reflects the activity that produces ventricular contration
Rales - ANSWER: abnormal breath sounds detected during auscultation of the
lungs that are often described as crackling or bubbling
receptor sites - ANSWER: specialized sites on ion channels to which natural
neurotransmitter substances or drugs attach, usually leading to the opening of the
ion channel for passage of positively or negatively charged ions
redistribution - ANSWER: the release of a drug from its initial receptor site and its
movement through the blood stream to other body structures such as fat stores,
muscles, etc.
relay center - ANSWER: an ovoid structure in the central portion of the brain that
relays sensory input to the cerebral cortex
