| 영문 | pulse pressure | 한글 | 맥박압 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 수축기 혈압과 확장기 혈압의 차이. mmHg로 표시한다. 심장의 수축력, 동맥 내 혈류량, 동맥벽의 긴장도에 영향을 받는다. 정상치는 수축기 혈압의 1/3, 또는 확장기 혈압의 1/2이다. 60mmHg이상을 대맥이라고 하며, 대동맥판막 폐쇄부족증, 갑상샘항진증, 동맥경화증, 혈압이 상승할 때 심장비대, 고열 등에서 볼 수 있다. 20mmHg 이하를 소맥이라고 하며, 급성 심근경색에 의한 좌심실 수축력 저하, 대동맥판막 협착등에서 볼 수 있다. 한편 맥압의 1/3에 확장기 혈압을 더한 것을 평균혈압이라고 한다. |

| 영문 | osmotic pressure | 한글 | 삼투압 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 삼투라는 현상은 일정 크기 이하의 물질은 통과시키고 그 이상의 크기를 가진 물질은 통과 시키지 못하게 하는 막(반투막)을 사이에 두고 양쪽에 그 막을 투과하지 못하는 물질의 농도가 차이가 날 때 발생하는 것으로 막을 통과할 수 있는 물질이 막 양쪽의 통과 할 수 없는 물질의 농도를 같게 하는 방향으로 움직이는 것을 말한다. |

| 영문 | systolic pressure | 한글 | 수축기압 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 심활동력, 동맥벽의 탄력성, 혈액량, 혈액의 점성 등에 의하여 결정되는 혈액의 동맥벽에 미치는 압력으로서, 최고혈압은 왼심실로부터 박출이 끝나기 직전에 생기는 압을 말하고 최대 혈압 또는 수축기혈압이라 부른다. 최소혈압은 왼심실의 확장이 끝나는 시기에 생기는 혈압을 말하며 최소혈압 또는 확장기혈압이라고 부른다. 평균혈압은 동맥내압의 평균치를 말하며, 기초혈압은 절대안정 상태에서 측정한 혈압을 말한다. |

| 영문 | blood pressure | 한글 | 혈압 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |

| capillary fracture | A fracture without separation of the fragments, the line of break being hairlike, as seen sometimes in the skull. Synonym: capillary fracture. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| capillary fragility | The lack of resistance, or susceptibility, of capillaries to damage or disruption under conditions of increased stress. (12 Dec 1998) |
| capillary fragility test | A tourniquet test used to determine presence of vitamin C deficiency or thrombocytopenia; a circle 2.5 cm in diameter, the upper edge of which is 4 cm below the crease of the elbow, is drawn on the inner aspect of the forearm, pressure midway between the systolic and diastolic blood pressure is applied above the elbow for 15 minutes, and a count of petechiae within the circle is made: 10, normal; 10 to 20, marginal zone; over 20, abnormal. See: Rumpel-Leede test. Synonym: capillary resistance test, vitamin C test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capillary fringe | A zone immediately above the water table in which water is drawn upward from the water table by capillary action. (09 Oct 1997) |
| capillary haemangioma | <dermatology> Red or purple-coloured vascular skin markings that develop shortly after birth. Most are usually painless and benign and sharply demarcated from surrounding skin, usually located on the head and neck, and grow rapidly. It is caused by proliferation of immature capillary vessels in active stroma, and is usually present at birth or occurs within the first two or three months of life. Some lesions (cavernous haemangioma) will disappear or become harder to see as the child approaches school age. Localised steroid injections have been used successfully to reduce the size of a birthmark but generally they undergo spontaneous regression and involution without scarring and normally require no treatment.

| capillary lake | The total mass of blood contained in capillary vessels. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capillary leak syndrome | <syndrome> Extravasation of plasma fluid and proteins into the extravascular space, resulting in sometimes fatal hypotension and reduced oxygen perfusion. Clinical capillary leak syndrome is observed in patients who demonstrate a state of generalised leaky capillaries following shock syndromes, low-flow states, ischemia-reperfusion injuries, toxaemias, or poisoning. It can lead to generalised oedema and multiple organ failure., reperfusion injuries and clinical capillary leak syndrome. (12 Dec 1998) |
| capillary loops | Small blood vessels in the dermal papillae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capillary nevus | Capillary haemangioma of the skin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capillary pericyte | A cell with several slender processes that embraces the capillary wall in amphibia. Synonym: capillary pericyte. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capillary permeability | Property of blood capillary walls that allows for the selective exchange of substances. Small lipid-soluble molecules such as carbon dioxide and oxygen move freely by diffusion. Water and water-soluble molecules cannot pass through the endothelial walls and are dependent on microscopic pores. These pores show narrow areas (tight junctions) which may limit large molecule movement. (12 Dec 1998) |
| capillary permeability factor | A mixture of bioflavonoids extracted from plants (especially citrus fruits). It reduces the permeability and fragility of capillaries and is useful in the treatment of certain cases of purpura that are resistant to vitamin C therapy. See: hesperidin, quercetin, rutin. Synonym: capillary permeability factor, citrin, permeability vitamin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capillary pulse | The alternate rhythmical blanching and reddening of a capillary area, as seen under the nails or in the lip, upon gentle compression; a sign of arteriolar dilation, well seen in aortic insufficiency. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capillary resistance | The resistance offered to the flow of blood through the capillary portion of the peripheral vascular bed. (12 Dec 1998) |
| capillary resistance test | A tourniquet test used to determine presence of vitamin C deficiency or thrombocytopenia; a circle 2.5 cm in diameter, the upper edge of which is 4 cm below the crease of the elbow, is drawn on the inner aspect of the forearm, pressure midway between the systolic and diastolic blood pressure is applied above the elbow for 15 minutes, and a count of petechiae within the circle is made: 10, normal; 10 to 20, marginal zone; over 20, abnormal.
