aerobic capacity-** ** The body's ability to take, transport, and use oxygen. basal metabolism-** **Heat produced by constant internal metabolic processes (50 kcal per square meter of body surface per hour in an average person).** cardiovascular fitness-** **Conditioning the heart and circulatory system to meet an active body's changing needs for blood.** conduction-** **The transmission of heat, sound waves, nerve impulses, or electricity by contact.** convection-** ** Transmission of heat by a moving gas or liquid. core-** ** The central nervous system, heart, lungs, liver, and other important internal organs of the body. critical incident stress debriefing (CISD)-** ** A confidential group discussion of a severely stressful incident that usually occurs within 24 to 72 hours of the incident. critical incident stress management (CISM)-** **A process that confronts the responses to critical incidents and defuses them, directing the emergency services personnel toward physical and emotional equilibrium.** general adaptation syndrome-** ** The body's three-stage response to stress. First, stress causes the body to trigger an alarm response, followed by a stage of reaction and resistance, and then recovery, or if the stress is prolonged, exhaustion. host-** ** The organism or individual that is attacked by the infecting agent. hyperventilation-** ** Rapid or deep breathing that lowers blood carbon dioxide levels below normal. hypoxia-** ** A dangerous condition in which the body tissues and cells do not have enough oxygen. infection-** ** The abnormal invasion of a host or host tissues by organisms such as bacteria, viruses, or parasites, with or without signs or symptoms of disease. infectious disease-** ** A disease that is caused by infection. involuntary-** ** Not performed willingly; not subject to control. layer-** ** A single thickness spread out or covering a surface. metabolism-** **Chemical reactions that provide the body's energy; the process by which energy is made available for the uses of the organism.** Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)-** ** The federal regulatory compliance agency that develops, publishes, and enforces guidelines concerning safety in the workplace. partial pressure-** **The percentage of total pressure accounted for by a specific gas, such as oxygen or carbon dioxide. For example, at sea level the partial pressure of oxygen is 160 mm Hg (21% of the total atmospheric pressure of 760 mm Hg).** posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)-** **A delayed stress reaction to a prior incident. This delayed reaction is the result of one or more unresolved issues concerning the incident that might have been alleviated with the use of critical incident stress management.** rigor mortis-** ** Stiffening of the body, is a definitive sign of death. universal precautions-** ** Protective measures that have traditionally been developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for use in dealing with objects, blood, body fluids, or other potential exposure risks of communicable disease. voluntar-** **Spontaneous, arising from one's own free will**
 * VOCABULARY**
 * acclimatization-** ** The process by which the body adjusts to a new environment.
 * burnout-** ** A condition of chronic fatigue and frustration that results from mounting stress over time.
 * communicable disease-** ** Any disease that can be spread from person to person, or from animal to person.
 * contagious-** ** An infectious disease that is capable of being transmitted from one person to another.
 * dependent lividity-** **Blood settling to the lowest point of the body, causing discoloration of the skin.**
 * evaporation-** ** Conversion of a liquid into a vapor.
 * motor fitness-** ** The possession of strength, power, balance, agility, flexibility, and endurance.
 * pathogen-** ** A microorganism that is capable of causing disease in a susceptible host.
 * putrefaction-** ** Decomposition of body tissues.
