Average: (In science) the term for arithmetic mean. This is the sum of the groups of numbers divided by the size of the group.
Blood-brain barrier: A tightly packed cellular barrier that carefully regulates what molecules can and cannot enter the brain. Barriers help protect the brain from foreign bodies in the blood and maintain a constant environment for brain cells.
Cardiologist: A doctor specializing in medical branches that deal with heart function and diseases.
Caveat: Potential exceptions to general rules or some general expectations.
Co-authors: One of the group (two or more people) who prepared works written together, such as books, reports, and research papers. Not all co-authors contributed equally.
Cognition: (adj. Cognitive) mental processes of thinking, remember, learn information, interpretation of data sent by the senses to the brain.
Database: An organized collection of related data.
Environment: The sum of all that exists around some living organisms and processes, and the state they create. Environment can refer to the weather and ecosystem in which some animals live, or perhaps the temperature and humidity (or placing objects near the item of interest).
Function: The specific role that some structures or devices play. The relationship between two or more variables (in mathematics) in which one variable (one dependent) is precisely determined by the value of the other variable.
Gauge: A device for measuring the size or volume of something. For example, Tide Gauges tracks constantly changing coastal water levels throughout the day. Or a system or event that can be used to estimate the size or size of something else. (v. Measuring) The act of measuring or estimating the size of something.
Heart attack: Permanent damage to the myocardium that occurs when one or more areas are oxygen-starved, usually due to a temporary blockage of blood flow.
Hormone: (in zoology and medicine) Chemicals produced in the glands were transported to another part of the body in the bloodstream. Hormones control many important physical activities, such as growth. Hormones act by triggering or regulating chemical reactions in the body. (in botany) A chemical that acts as a signaling compound that tells the cells of a plant when and how they develop and when they age and die.
Kidney: Each of the mammalian organs that filter blood and produce urine.
Garbage: Materials found in places that have been discarded or remained collapsed.
Liver: The organs of the body of animals with a backbone that performs many important functions. It stores fat and sugar as energy, breaks down harmful substances for excretion by the body, secretes bile, a greenish liquid released into the intestine, where it helps digest the fat and neutralizes the acid.
Mass: A number that shows how fast and slows down an object – essentially a measure of the problem that the object is being created for.
Micro: Prefix in fractional units of measurement. Here we refer to one in one millionth of the international metric system.
Microplastics: Small amount of plastic, 5mm (0.2 inches) or smaller in size. Microplastics may be produced in their small size. Or its size could be the result of a breakdown of a water bottle, plastic bag, or something else that started out larger.
Nano: A prefix indicating one in a billionth. Measuring metric systems are often used as an abbreviation to refer to objects that are one billionth of a meter or diameter.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration: (or NOAA) Scientific Institution of the US Department of Commerce. First established in 1807 under another name (coast survey), the agency focuses on and maintaining fisheries, marine mammal conservation (from seals to whales), seabed research, and upper atmosphere investigations.
Neuroscientist: A person who studies the structure or function of the brain and other parts of the nervous system.
Organ: (in biology) various parts of an organism that performs one or more specific functions. For example, the ovaries are organs that make eggs, the brain is an organ that has the meaning of nerve signals, and the roots of plants are organs that take in nutrients and water.
Particle: The amount of something.
Plastic: Any of a series of materials that can be easily deformed. Or synthetic materials made from polymers (long strings of some building block molecules) that tend to be lightweight, inexpensive and resistant. (adj.) Materials that can be adapted by changing the shape or function.
Polyethylene: Plastics made from chemicals that refined (produced) crude oil and/or natural gas. The most common plastic in the world is flexible and tough. It can also resist radiation.
Polystyrene: Plastics made from chemicals that refined (produced) crude oil and/or natural gas. Polystyrene is one of the most widely used plastics and is an ingredient used to make widely used white, hard foam (often sold under the name Styrofoam).
Range: The complete range or distribution of something. For example, a range of plants and animals is a natural area. (for mathematics or measurements) the range in which the value can change (for example, the highest to lowest temperature). Also, the distance that can be reached or perceived to something.
Risk: A possibility that something bad could happen or mathematically. For example, exposure to radiation poses a risk of cancer. Or danger – or danger – itself. (for example: Among the cancer risks people faced, radiation and drinking water were contaminated with arsenic. )
Shard: Broken ceramic, tile, rock, or part of a hard, broken thing with irregular shape.
Stroke: (In biology and medicine) Blood flows to a part of the brain, or brain leaks stop.
Sustainability: (adj:Sustainable) Use resources to continue to be available in the future.
System: A network of components that work together works to achieve some function. For example, blood, blood vessels, and heart are the main components of the human body’s circulation. Similarly, trains, platforms, trucks, road signals and overpasses are one of the potential components of the country’s railway system. The system can also be applied to processes or ideas that are part of a method for performing a task or an ordered set of steps.
Organization:Created from cells is either a distinct type of material that makes up an animal, plant, or fungus. Cells within tissues act as units to perform specific functions in organisms. For example, different organs of the human body are often made from different types of tissue.
Toxicologist: Scientists investigating the potential harm caused by physical agents in their environment. These may include materials that we are intentionally exposed, such as chemicals, tobacco smoke or food, or materials that are exposed without choice, such as air or water pollutants. Toxicologists may study the risks that cause such exposure, how they produce harm, or how they work across the environment.
