homeostasis: a state of equilibrium within the body maintained through the adaptation of body systems to changes in either the internal or external environment.
vital signs: assessments of pulse, respiration, blood pressure, and temperature.
veins: blood vessels that carry oxygen-depleted blood to the heart.
arteries: blood vessels that carry oxygen-enriched blood away from the heart to the tissues.
pulse: a quantitative measurement of the heartbeat using the fingers to palpate an artery or a stethoscope to listen to the heartbeat.
tachycardia: a pulse rate above 100 beats per minute.
bradycardia: a pulse rate below 60 beats per minute.
radial pulse: the pulse located in the wrist near the radial bone.
carotid pulse: the pulse that can be heard or felt at the carotid artery.
apical pulse: the pulse that is obtained by listening to the heart rhythm at the apex of the heart.
carotid artery: the large artery in the neck that carries oxygenated blood to the brain.
cardiac arrest: the absence of a heartbeat.
cardiac compressions: controlled and repeated application of pressure to the sternum of a cardiac arrest victim to keep the oxygen supply moving throughout the body.
temporal artery: any one of the three arteries on each side of the head near the temporal bone.
brachial artery: a large artery in the arm on the anterior aspect of the elbow.
femoral artery: the major artery of the thigh that originates in the groin.
groin: the area where the abdomen joins the thighs.
