Five cards from this deck

Taken from the published archive, unedited. A deck page that shows no card says nothing.

  • Front acclimatization
    Back process of adjustment that the respiratory system makes due to chronic exposure to high altitudes
  • Front acute mountain sickness (AMS)
    Back condition that occurs a result of acute exposure to high altitude due to a low partial pressure of oxygen
  • Front ala
    Back (plural = alae) small, flaring structure of a nostril that forms the lateral side of the nares
  • Front alar cartilage
    Back cartilage that supports the apex of the nose and helps shape the nares; it is connected to the septal cartilage and connective tissue of the alae
  • Front alveolar dead space
    Back air space within alveoli that are unable to participate in gas exchange

This deck was modified when it was brought in: Entries were taken from the end-of-chapter glossaries of chapters 22 and gathered into one deck; the chapter structure of the book is not reproduced. HTML formatting was stripped to plain text, and superscripts and subscripts were converted to the corresponding Unicode characters so that a charge or an index is not lost (H⁺, not H+; T₄, not T4). An entry was dropped when its definition is shorter than 30 characters or longer than 400 characters, when it contains an image, a table or a mathematical formula that is not reproduced here, when it refers to a figure, a table or another chapter, when it is dated by wording such as "currently" or "as of", when it is a bare cross-reference to another term, or when a superscript could not be converted faithfully. Duplicates were removed on the term and on the definition alike, both compared after lowercasing, removing parentheses and reducing plurals to singulars; a term or a definition already used by another Memoquiz deck built from OpenStax was dropped as well. Each deck is capped at 150 entries and holds at least 30. The wording of every definition that was kept is unchanged.
