| 설명 | 혈압이란 혈관에 걸리는 압력을 말하는 것으로 대개 특별한 설명이 없으면 동맥의 압력을 말한다. 혈압에는 수축기혈압(systolic blood pressure)과 이완기혈압(diastolic blood pressure)이 있다. 수축기혈압이란 심장이 수축할 경우에 동맥에 걸리는 압력을 말하고, 이완기 혈압이란 심장이 이완할 경우에 동맥에 걸리는 압력을 말한다. 당연히 수축기 혈압이 이완기 혈압보다 높다. 혈압을 말할 때에 예를 들어 120/80mmHg이라고 적는 것의 앞의 것은 수축기 혈압을 의미하고 뒤에 적는 80은 이완기 혈압을 의미한다. |

| air dose | The radiation dose, expressed in roentgens, delivered at a point in free air. Synonym: air dose. (05 Mar 2000) |

| air drill | <equipment> A drill driven by the elastic pressure of condensed air; a pneumatic drill. (06 Aug 1998) |
| air embolism | <physiology> A serious condition that results when air (in the form of bubbles) invades the blood vessels causing disruption of normal blood flow. (06 Aug 1998) |
| air-gap radiography | Chest radiography with a space (at least 10 inches) between the subject and film. Instead of using a grid, this method uses the geometry and X-ray absorption by the air to remove scattered radiation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| air-gap technique | Chest radiography performed using a space between the subject and film instead of a grid to absorb scattered radiation; usually requires a target-film distance of 10 feet. (05 Mar 2000) |
| air hunger | Extremely deep ventilation such as occurs in patients with acidosis attempting to increase ventilation of alveoli and exhale more carbon dioxide. See: Kussmaul respiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| air lift fermenter | <apparatus> A fermenter in which circulation of the culture medium and aeration is achieved by injection of air into some lower part of the fermenter. Usually not suitable for animal cell production. Related to gas lift systems where an inert gas is used to achieve circulation in anaerobic conditions. This type of of fermenter is well suited for large-scale production of monoclonal antibodies. (13 Nov 1997) |
| air-lock | <microscopy> An intermediate, enclosed chamber of a vacuum or pressure system through which an object may be passed without effectively changing the vacuum or pressure of the main body of the system. Reference here is to the vacuum of all electron microscopes. (05 Aug 1998) |
| air microbiology | The presence of bacteria, viruses, and fungi in the air. This term is not restricted to pathogenic organisms. (12 Dec 1998) |
| air plant | <botany> A plant deriving its sustenance from the air alone; an aerophyte. The "Florida moss" (Tillandsia), many tropical orchids, and most mosses and lichens are air plants. Those which are lodged upon trees, but not parasitic on them, are epiphytes. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| air pollutants | Substances which pollute the air. (12 Dec 1998) |

| air pollutants, occupational | Air pollutants found in the work area. They are usually produced by the specific nature of the occupation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| air pollutants, radioactive | Pollutants, present in air, which exhibit radioactivity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| air pollution, indoor | The contamination of indoor air. (12 Dec 1998) |
