series of organized muscle contractions that occur throughout the digestive tract
Tanner staging
monitors sexual development

1 - preadolescent - small elevated nipple
2 - breast bud - small amount of breast, nipple develops, areola widens
3 - breast and areola enlarge, nipple flush with surface
4 - areola and nipple form secondary mound
5 - mature breast - only nipple protrudes, areola is flush with breast contour
menarche
beginning of menstruation

usually stage 3 or 4 in breast development, approx 2 years after stage 2
BSE

muscle layer
- muscular wall of the heart
endocardium
innermost layer lining
- thin layer of endothelial tissue that lines the inner surface of the heart chambers and valves
murmur
abnormal sound occurs with turbulent in/out of heart
heave or lift
exaggerated apical pulse
apical pulse
may or may not be visible

occupies only one space

located in 4th or 5th LICS (left intercostal space), MCL (midclavicular line)
thrill
palpable vibration in relation to murmur
bruit
swooshing sound heard over artery or vascular organ thats been narrowed/occluded
S1
contraction or systole
- closure of AV valce creates sound
- best heard at apex
- "Lubb" - primary sound

temporal - anterior to ear
carotid - below angle of jaw
brachial - medial to biceps tendon
radial - proximal to thumb
femoral - groin
popliteal - behind knee
dorsalis pedis - dorsal aspect of foot
posterior tibial - behind medial malleous
