Across
  1. 5. A type of hypertension with no obvious cause.
  2. 10. A type of diabetes caused by decreased pancreatic release of insulin.
  3. 12. A condition in which a person’s blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough to warrant a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.
  4. 13. The pressure measured during the heart's contraction.
  5. 16. The formation of a blood clot inside a blood vessel or a chamber of the heart.
  6. 19. The pressure measured during the heart’s resting phase.
  7. 20. A slow, progressive hardening and narrowing of the arteries by deposits of fat, cholesterol, and other substances.
  8. 21. The tiny disk-shaped components of blood that are essential for blood clotting.
  9. 22. The structural subunit of nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA that is composed of a nitrogenous base covalently attached to a five-carbon sugar (ribose or deoxyribose) and is either a pyrimidine (cytosine, thymine, or uracil) or a purine (adenine or guanine).
  10. 23. Elevated blood sugar.
  11. 25. The subunits of DNA or RNA consisting of a nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine, thymine, or cytosine in DNA; adenine, guanine, uracil, or cytosine in RNA), a phosphate molecule, and a sugar molecule (deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA).
  12. 26. An impairment of the normal state of a living animal.
  13. 27. A buildup of substances that circulate in the blood (e.g., calcium, fat, cholesterol, cellular waste, fibrin) on a blood vessel wall, making it vulnerable to blockage from blood clots.
  14. 29. An instrument for measuring blood pressure and especially arterial blood pressure.
  15. 30. A type of hypoglycemia that occurs because the body produces too much insulin even when no food is eaten.
Down
  1. 1. The intersection of information, nutrition, and technology, and it underlies all areas of dietetics practice.
  2. 2. The first stage of cancer development.
  3. 3. A condition in which cells respond weakly to insulin and the pancreas releases additional insulin to maintain normal blood glucose levels.
  4. 4. A type of hypoglycemia that occurs about 1 hour after eating carbohydrate-rich food.
  5. 6. Hypertension caused by an underlying condition such as a kidney disorder.
  6. 7. The spread of cancer cells from the original site to form new tumors in other organs.
  7. 8. The presence of greater than normal amounts of cholesterol in the blood.
  8. 9. The hardening of the arteries.
  9. 11. A type of diabetes in which the target cells (e.g., fat and muscle cells) lose the ability to respond normally to insulin.
  10. 14. An eating plan low in total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol, and rich in fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products, that has been shown to reduce elevated blood pressure.
  11. 15. A type of cancer that arises in cells of the lymphatic system.
  12. 17. A non-cancerous tumor.
  13. 18. A cancer-causing agent.
  14. 24. A cancerous tumor.
  15. 28. disparities Differences in health outcomes and their determinants between segments of the population, as defined by social, demographic, environmental, and geographical attributes.
