| Hyperthermia | Increased body temperature |
| Hypothermia | Decreased body temperature |
| Hyperthermia Risk Factors | Age; cardiovascular disease; drinking alcohol; obesity; exposure to elements |
| Body response to hyperthermia | Vasodilation; heat loss through sweat |
| Hypothermia Risk Factors | homelessness; exposure to elements; older adults; working outside; drinking alcohol |
| Body response to hypothermia | Vasoconstriction; body shivers to produce heat |
| Hypothermia Signs & Symptoms | Pain, pallor skin; redness; numbness |
| Heat Exhaustion Signs & Symptoms | Dizziness; fainting; thirst; excessive SWEATING; rapid weak pulse; nausea; vomiting; pale, cool, clammy skin; muscle cramps |
| Heat Stroke Signs & Symptoms | Headache; confusion; elevated body temp; NO SWEATING; rapid strong pulse; nausea; vomiting; red hot skin; loss of consciousness |
| Angiogenesis | Cancer cells create new capillaries for nutrients |
| Cancer | Cell organization, inhibition of growth, contact control, & cell-to-cell communication does not occur |
| Cancer testing & diagnostics | Lab tests; imaging; BIOPSY (best way for confirmation) |
| Benign tumor characteristics | Differentiated cells; encapsulated; not typically life-threatening |
| Malignant tumor characteristics | Undifferentiated cells; not encapsulated; not ogranized well; rapid/uninhibited reproduction; Metastasize |
| Metastasize | Break away from primary location and spread to a distant location |
